H&M Responds To Backlash Over Child Model’s Hair

H&M has found itself at the center of a social media debate once again.  The company received backlash after people were upset because they felt as though one of their model’s–a young black girl–hair wasn’t groomed.

People reacted furiously at H&M, tweeting their thoughts on the beautiful young lady’s natural hair.

Today, H&M responded to a customer who tweeted them asking “who approved” the girl’s photo, adding “Y’all better stop playing with these black kids.”

H&M responded to the customer saying that they believe kids should be kids, adding that the kids were all photographed after school to capture their natural look.

Here is how other customers responded.
