Award winning Kenyan US based actress, Lupita Ny'ongo has
tweeted that UK magazine Grazia has "edited out and smoothed" her
hair to fit what she says is a Eurocentric view of beauty.
She shared the November cover of the magazine alongside the
original pictures in which she has longer hair
"Disappointed that @GraziaUK edited out &
smoothed my hair to fit a more Eurocentric notion of what beautiful hair looks
like. #dtmh," she said.
Nyong'o also used the hashtag #dtmh (don’t touch my hair),
which is a title of a song by Solange about people respecting black hair.
