Social Media goes 'crazy' over 'locks' worn by Little Mix singer

Social media went 'crazy' on Monday when some users demanded Little Mix member Jesy Nelson delete an Instagram post of herself wearing her hair in beautiful-locks (not dreadlocks - there is nothing dreadful about these beautiful-locks...is there)?

The 26-year-old singer unveiled her new hairstyle on Monday evening, but some followers on the platform suggested the picture was offensive to black people.

Nelson was accused of "cultural appropriation" and there were calls for her to apologise.

Some even said, everyone is free to wear any hair style. One commented: "Is it right to tell black people not to dye their hair blonde? No it isn't. Why? Because they can do what they choose."

Erm, who said black people don't have natural blond hair? I think the only appropriation by black people in the battle of hair maybe straight hair worn by people who have natural tight curly hair. But not all black Africans have tight curly hair. African hair comes in many varieties - some curly, some wavy, some straight.
