A Message to Angelina Jolie

No point beating about the bush. Angelina or even Brad, please take Zahara to an Afro Caribbean hairdressers to get her unruly hair braided otherwise you’re going to turn her into an accidental dreadlocked Rasta. Her hair needs trimming, conditioning, moisture or hair-oil and tender loving care.

Black people’s hair is not like European hair. It’s very curly or frizzy, it’s very fragile, it’s not happy when it’s bone dry and it’s not entirely happy when it’s wet. Sometimes our scalp hurts when our hair has been neglected and left to get tangled and we then attempt to brush it. Angelina, if you’re busy travelling all over the world and you can’t pop into an Afro Caribbean salon, or an African American salon whatever the PC term is – then ask someone to show you how to care for her hair. Zahara will thank you in the long run. It’s not fair to let her look like the last orphan in the corner of the orphanage when she’s the daughter of gazillionaires. Sort it out!
