People were quick to call out the fact that others (many with afro and textured hair themselves) were perpetrating unrealistic ideals of afro hair themselves by pointing out the girl’s hair as “messy”. “This is how our hair looks – it doesn’t need to have laid edges and be slicked down all the time,” was the gist of many opinions.

And it doesn’t. The pressure to look presentable and neat in the fear of discrimination doesn’t originate from black people, but it can often be perpetuated by us. So when black hair is seemingly being celebrated by a very white industry, but is having to jump through certain hoops, it’s a sign that this newfound wokeness doesn’t spread completely to the core. “If nobody stands, then everybody falls,” adds Myers. “Yes, hair may seem like something simple, but fashion pushes our visions and it’s important to see the versatility of black women on big platforms, not just one type.”

Canerows add an ‘edgy urban vibe’ to a floor-length floral dress (or to Kendall Jenner’s night out), but they shouldn’t be used as diversity credits. If you’re going to make your model line-up representative, then treat everyone’s hair accordingly. Don’t resort to the same styles every other designer has chosen, just because you’re at a loss of what to do with all this texture. Do the research, bring black creatives into your team and into those important meetings, and celebrate the versatility of black hair, rather than pigeonhole it into one progressive little package.
