Fashion Forward Rihanna aka BadGalRiRi (on Instagram) is definitely a trendsetter. From her oval shaped nails, fashion sense, make up and hair. RiRi's fans can't seem to get enough of her sense of style. During New York's Fashion Week, Rihanna was spotted rocking a Mullet that took us back to the 80's.
Beyonce and Jay Z have been jetting around since the end of the Mrs. Carter World Tour and Made in America. Their little bundle of joy, Blue Ivy, has been the center of attention and the paparazzi. From her funny facial expressions, Baby North and Blue's meme's to the most recent social media topic---Blue's Hair.
Beyonce recently showed off a short pixie cut and it seemed to be all the rage on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Since then, Mrs. Carter has went back to weave heaven, flaunting a longer assymetrical bob. The attention however has shifted from Mama Bey's hair to little baby Blue. The adorable one year old has a tightly curled afro and not a care in the world but many are outraged about it's maintenance.
Abercrombie & Fitch, teen fashion retailer, has been known to be a little bias when it comes to their models and employees. Recently, the retailer released their "Look Policy Guidelines" for store employees. Say what you want about A&F, but at least they think that an afro is acceptable for work i.e. only without extreme coloring or highlights (Well at least that is what the 3rd pic from the left (top) and last pic (bottom) looks like). Nonetheless, thank you Abercrombie & Fitch for deeming our natural hair 'acceptable'.
Here is what A&F had to say about the new hairstyle policy, "We realize that the manner in which you style your hair is highly personal and subject to your own tastes and preferences,”...“While we respect your individuality, it is important that we maintain a consistent level of dress and grooming that represents what people expect from the Abercrombie & Fitch brand.”

What Do You Think About A&F's New Hairstyle Policy?
Kurlees, do you watch The Talk? After this story, I am guessing that many of you will boycott the show. In an encore presentation of The Talk on August 30, a CBS talk show, host Sheryl Underwood, had a few choice words about natural hair.
During a discussion on the show, it was noted that supermodel Heidi Klum, saved her biracial child's hair after a haircut. The child that Heidi Klum had with ex-husband Seal, had a huge afro before the hair cut. Sheryl disgusted by this revelation, went on to say, "Why would you save Afro hair?"to add insult to injury, she proceeded with no one goes to a hair shop to ask for that "curly, nappy, beaded" hair.
Co-host of the Talk, Sarah Gilbert, added to the discussion that she too saved her children's hair which Underwood responded to with "probably some beautiful, long, silky stuff" implying that Gilbert's child's hair texture is better than that of an afro hair texture.
Well coming home....I almost hit the floor....
I understand that Underwood is a comedian and sometimes makes remarks for amusement. Whether the statements were for a few laughs here and there, I do not know. What I do not agree with is her comparison of hair textures and that one texture is better than the other. Not to mention that she is degrading the very texture that she was blessed with. That's like a dark skin woman saying, I hate my skin because lighter skin woman are so much more attractive. Oh wait! Many of us still think this way, that we resort to skin lightening treatments. In a perfect world, there would be no standards of what is considered beautiful but for now we can all agree on one thing:
When it comes to natural hair, Sheryl Underwood needs to put a lid on it. #ifyoudonthaveanythingnicetosaydontsayitatall
