Winnie Harlow Reveals Her Big Chop… While Shading Another Black Model’s Hair

Celebrity big chop social media reveals are fun. They’re an opportunity to celebrate black women who dare to shave it all and rock their natural texture, which is still a very counter cultural beauty move. But model Winnie Harlow disappointingly and inexplicably used her big chop reveal to throw shade at South Sudanese model Nyadak Thot, aka Duckie, and it wasn’t long before the big chop itself was overshadowed, and then totally eclipsed by the drama that followed. So how did this all start? Over the weekend Winnie posted to Snapchat and Instagram revealing her cute new cut. Her sister,

White Model Apologizes, Discusses Black Erasure, After Appearing on the Cover of a Black Hair Magazine

The Independent Black British hair magazine Blackhair recently featured an English-Malaysian model on its December/January 2017 cover.

Misogynist Black Men Who Claim Weaves Are Self Hate….Please Have a Seat!

No matter what choice we make for our hair, black women will never escape some form of criticism. If we choose to wear our hair natural it’s deemed as “unprofessional” in some spaces. If we wear relaxers we are called self-haters and if you wear weaves watch out! Some keyboard warriors have even coined women who wear weaves as “hair hats”, a term I have a big issue with, but I will get to this shortly.
