A messy bun looks messy on longer hair on shorter hair it just looked unkempt.

It’s not a necessity but obviously her hair WASNT DONE. It was a suggestion lol

Was their a Black hair stylist involved in creating this lazy unskilled outcome? A simple yes or no will do.

The girls hair is supposed to be messy if you look at the whole campaign than you’ll see the point pic.twitter.com/Jbxefzyqil

I saw it that way, too. Going for the minimalist style, purposefully unkempt and no-fuss

It's such a shame that non-black girls can wear their hair any way they want and no one bats an eyelid; but a black girl has hair sticking out her ponytail and suddenly it's the end of the world

!! It's cute I like it. It needs to be normalised more.

But I am reading this as a white gal who is allowed to be unpolished. It’s my hope that everyone can look so carefree without worry.
