Their hair is never done
As evidenced by the previously mentioned Blue Ivy and Kaavia James examples, some people are ridiculously bothered when Black girls rock their ‘fros freely. They swear up and down that their hair is not “done” simply because it’s not in ponytails, braids, or twists. However, an afro is a style.

There is nothing wrong with anyone wearing their hair the way that it naturally grows out of their scalp. What’s important is that it’s moisturized and cared for.
