J. Crew under fire for not doing black model’s hair, issues response
J. Crew is facing a backlash over their decision to not style one of their black model’s hair in one of their recent posts.
Needless to say, this did not go over well with many black people, especially women. While many were outraged others said that if black women want people to embrace natural hair as beautiful, this is natural hair too.
J. Crew has tweeted a response to the outcry, they said, “J. Crew strives to represent every race, gender, and background. We sincerely apologize for the styling of this model and the offense that was caused. We assure you that we are taking steps to address it, and to prevent this from happening again.”

But no one is bashing her natural hair…? They're criticizing J Crew for not actually styling her natural hair…not her. https://t.co/L0MKtx6lyA

I’m just mad they’re talkin bout “it’s cute.” My Mama would NEVER let me out of the house looking like that growing up. The girl is cute, but that “style” isn’t. J Crew got her looking a whole fool out here

The responses to the black model's hair in that J. Crew ad are making me want to fight. Why some ignorant bih just say, "why didn't the model do their hair themselves?"
First of all, bitch, how you take this as an opportunity to shift (unnecessary) blame on the model?? Tf

Not all but some. J Crew is actually known for models with tousled hair. Many of their models get that undone hair look. 🤷🏾 pic.twitter.com/0Sn8zA1T6v
