Hunger Games ’ actress Amanda Sternberg invoked the powerful #whitegirlsdoitbetter hashtag to call attention to the appropriation of black features and culture. Mother and daughter also breathed new life into fashion’s ongoing fascination with braids-only these ones are sculptured and close to the scalp, but able to circumvent the cornrow controversy that Kim and Kylie faced last summer when both embraced the Afrocentric hair-do. As if the duo were school kids at recess playing with each other’s hair. When Atkin posted the adorable Instagram of mother-daughter with two side-Dutch braids combined into one, the look seemed easy and daytime appropriate. More likely, it’s being handled by Kardashian hairstylist Jen Atkin, but you get my point.
It’s nice to know that I have something in common with North West, although her braids are probably not being done by mommy, Kim Kardashian-West. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of my mom parting my hair with comb at the centre of my head before braiding my long black hair into two elbow-length plaits.
