Cultural appropriation has reached an all time high.
Black Twitter was collectively confused (and rightly so) after Marie Claire published an article about one of the hottest hair 'trends' of the summer — glass hair. Known to many black women who have been rocked silk presses laid for the gods for years, the silky smooth hairstyle is being credited to Kim Kardashian, who 'first' rocked the look according to the article, then Khloe Kardashian kept the trend going.

So we're just going to skip right over Taraji?
What about Regina and Jada?
Kelly's bomb bob? Y'all didn't catch hers either, huh?
And the blatant disrespect to muva Angela
But 'lo and behold, Twitter will get you together every time, but especially, this time.
a black woman’s bob reclassified as “glass hair” & attributed to the Kardashians is so wild that this must be magazine trolling. https://t.co/wafyp1XuCO— deray (@deray) August 17, 2018
