Real girls. Real beauty. Real talk. 7 girls show what beauty looks like when it’s not appropriated.

We asked seven real girls—with epic hair!—to weigh in. Here, in their own words, inspiring young women reclaim their beauty looks with an ode to the cultures they came from.

What y'all think about the line-ups, though? I’m seeing more and more yt (and other) dudes trying out waves w/ the du rags, the line-ups, the braids…I’m still thinking this through…like is it as demeaning and oppressive for men as it is for women..

[thr0atmistress-deactivated20191]

This is to all the white girls who are gonna start talking about “well it doesn’t just happen to black girls” when YALL get kicked out its beside you decided to dye your hair a different color, you can control what color you dye and if you dye your hair, I can’t control how my hair decides to grow out of my head
