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.
