H&M comes under fire for 'disrespectful' ad that features a black model with 'messy' hair

The photo in question shows a young Black girl with her natural hair pulled into an undone ponytail as she modeled a floral printed sweatshirt. Celebrity hairstylist, Vernon François, called out H&M for the problematic image.

have mercy this is real life everybody don't have a weave

Chile please!

Unbelievable, who are these people.

I thought it was good to show natural hair?

Chill Out and go see Star Wars

People need to calm down, all the kids in the photos have messy hair. It’s not racism so stop trying to create it.

What is this world coming to these days

It will come to the point when the perpetually offended brigade find themselves offensive, their brains will go haywire & they will spontaneously combust!

Lol shut up

They will apologise. Sign up a black designer. And REPEAT, after a couple of years. hm

Enough of photoshop perfection! Natural is beautiful! MeToo

Get a bloody life

I think that is a lovely photo

Look at her beautiful little face, who cares about her “messy” hair. My nieces hair gets far messier than this gorgeous little girls hair, doesn’t stop me taking photos of her. You are stunning sweetheart, messy bun or no messy bun. Keep smiling

Who is calling it racist....is it the millennials at it again

More bollocks publicity for them, why worry!

They have white girls on their website with messy hair too so what’s the issue FFS

Snowflakes.

That's her hair ffs. What's wrong with people.

So her natural look is disrespectful?

If it helps normalise a natural look for women's hair, then what's the problem?

🙄🙄🙄🙄

INSANE! When H&M did its best to praise authenticity, the global brainwashed flock screamed like a slaughtered pig! Messy hair is NATURAL, RESPECTABLE & SO COMMON in Africa! Those lowIQ screamers want 'their' black people with blue eyes (FAKE but so FASHION), BLOND like boris

than don’t use black models for anything to do with h&m and other companies if it is going to be judge as racist or disrespectful. the black need to earn a living too.

so 4 random people on twitter complaining about it = 'under fire'

Seriously? If we straighten the hair, people would say we are trying to force white identity. If we let it natural, you called it messy & disrespectful. Come on, being black is hard enough. Stop making it harder with your ridiculous & irrational judgement.

with all do respect to everyone from all races. but when exactly are we gonna stop making EVERYTHING a racial discrimination issue? or a gender discrimination issue while im at it.. i swear if this was a caucasian girl it wouldn’t have mattered a bit ..

I don’t see anything offensive.

What is disrespectful in this hair style I guess’ its quite common in Afro Women.

You think you've got problems.... here's Canada's woke Prime Minister, JustinTrudeau. Now that's messy hair.

Much ado about nothing.

Ese es su pelo. No tiene nada de malo. Cual es el problema? 😳

What

Seriously?

How is her hair messy? She combed it back into a bun. Is it her fault that she has bald spots when looking at her from the side? What would she need to do to please ppl, add gel? Or did you want her to wear a lace front weave? I don't know...

Ummmm... Messy hair according toy hairstylist is a Cool Hair look. Must hair look 'not messy all the time ' ?

It's mind boggling that no one saw anything wrong with this hair.

As my wife Grace says: “There is no please these fucking people”

H&M comes under fire for ad featuring Black model with 'messy' hairH&M has once again come under fire for a new ad that features kids with messy hair. One of the photos from the ad showed a young Black girl with her natural hair pulled into an undone ponytail. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this ad. Looking at the rest of the photos, it’s a very relatable, realistic campaign. Besides, I thought everyone was complaining about too much photoshopping of models? Not only race but now hairstyles being moaned about? Head in hands time. Maybe that’s how she likes her bloody hair!
