Oh, her colorist should be ashamed. She totally needs some lowlights in there and some depth of color. This looks like a home dye job (and I should know, I have one.) #siennamiller

Oh, great. Now I will have the jubilant stylings of "Hair" stuck in my head for the rest of the week. Thanks, Dodai! #siennamiller

She must be doing well; I know genuine Muppet fur can be very expensive. #siennamiller

Natural, braided, straightened -- choice is choice, and that's the point.

I think the white women who bleach and dye their hair blonde are in thrall to some ridiculous ideas, but they are free to do it.

Same for black women: free to be, you and me. #rebuttalfail

I plan to get this book. Has anybody heard much about it? Amazon only has one review.
I know that Aristotle was an intelligent fellow.... I guess.... but I'm so glad I learned, before today, that he was a misogynist ass who made a terrible influence on society.
I'm sure there are more things to be said than that on the subject of Aristotle/ misogyny/ patriarchy but all I can say at the moment is "misogynist ass". #themarveloushairygirls

@unmoldednicole: most of ancient greek society was misogynistic. wives and daughters were relegated to the domestic parts of the house and not allowed to enter the parts where the men entertained themselves with philosophical debate and hookers. unless you were a spartan woman, in which case you had more economic and social freedom than the spartan men, but you still couldn't vote on anything. so yeah...the lineage from ancient Greece to modern Ed Hardy D-Bag is quite clear.

@Elmo: Oh my God so do I. Like the writer of the article, I am also a pale skinned dark haired lady and I can't even get into what a pain in the ass it has been. I think, "when will I be able to afford getting the hair on my chin lasered off?" when I would much rather be thinking "when can I afford a trip to Europe?".

None of that even comes close to the reality what these girls faced as they lived during that time, with that condition. I can't wait to read it. #themarveloushairygirls

@unmoldednicole: No no, I'm with you. Year 8 art class, a self-portrait by Frida Kahlo comes up. Class queen shrieks, it looks like you! (and yes, she did use the word "it" to refer to Ms Kahlo). Cue awesome schooling from the teacher, but the mo started getting bleached that night. Whenever I see pictures of Frida I wish I had her guts. No one told her she looked like a dude because of some hair on her top lip. #themarveloushairygirls

@jenrobe: I love Frida Kahlo's unapologetic expression of her possibly considered unconventional but unquestionable beauty.

That was a lot of "uns". I just really love her art. #themarveloushairygirls

As the mother of a bi-racial child whose hair tends towards the more tight curls, I make an effort never to mention how tricky it is for me to deal with her hair in front of her (only because it's different from mine). She needs positive reinforcement, as does Zahara Jolie-Pitt, negatives are all to common without added comments on hair. I spend more time, effort and money on her hair than on my own, only because I am still learning. But no matter how it looks, it's still beautiful because she's a lovely child. She'll do what she wants to her hair when she's old enough, for now, natural is best. #rebuttalfail

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but has the Hair Police thought that she's a little kid? Little kids of any ethnicity don't sit around for complicated hair styles. Hell, most of the time they end up looking wild five minute later. Simplicity is the way to go! #rebuttalfail

I love the linked photo with Zahara's hair loose in the purple dress. Partly because Z looks absolutely lovely and happy and she's holding her sister's hand and it's adorable.

...but also because I find it absolutely hilarious that Shiloh is missing a tooth and wearing a fedora/tie/skull combo with Crocs, and yet Zahara is the one drawing tsking sounds about her appearance. HA! #rebuttalfail

It's the conformity message that gets me too. How dare she say that a kid's hair should look like everyone else's? Maybe Zahara's hair is wild because she likes it that way. And you know what? She should. She's adorable. Her white sister's hair isn't styled either, it doesn't even look brushed. Good. They're kids. And they shouldn't be forced into cutesy little styles because they're girls, and Z shouldn't be punished with hours of hair oiling and combing because she's a black girl. She's not in a pageant, she's in a playground. There's no law that black kids have to maintain their hair a certain way. #rebuttalfail
