It’s safe to say that black hair is always a topic of discussion in some shape, way or form. Be it because we’re slaying and have it laid for the gawds; be it because it’s being culturally appropriated, or be it because our wigs are getting snatched [literally] because we didn’t secure them properly.
Today, it is because Black Twitter feels like Victoria’s Secret, ASOS, and other fashion sites have model Zuri Tibby all the way f*cked up as they put it; because they feel as though the necessary steps to make sure homegirls hair was laid weren’t taken care of during these shoots.
Twitter user @CrownedByChina tweeted a screenshot of Zuri from Victoria’s Secret website with the caption, “Black lives matter! Say her name! We gotta help sis out!!! VICTORIA GOT SIS F*CKED UP!”

The tweet has since been retweeted over 4000 times and Black Twitter is not amused and feels as though “we need to save her.”
Some melanin challenged tweeters seemed confused and didn’t understand what the ‘problem’ was as they asked questions such as “What’s wrong with this?”; “What happened?” or “What’s wrong??? I don’t see anything bad, she is serving looks!”

Twitter user @YaelaTheMilf had no shame responding to those questions saying “What looks? ‘Homeless?’ ‘Ran out of conditioner’? ‘Let white women play in
my hair?'” Oop.
Another Twitter user even brought Tyra Banks into it saying:

As we know, Black Twitter has a loud voice that is hard to ignore so I’m sure they expect to see Zuri’s hair laid to perfection in future shoots!
