Can the natural hair community trust celebrity brands like

Can the natural hair community trust celebrity brands like
Black celebrity haircare brands have been criticised for being underperforming and overpriced. But where is that this scepticism coming from and why don’t hair brands owned by white celebrities receive the same backlash? Beyoncé is currently on a world tour promoting her latest album, Renaissance – and yet she’s still managed to search out time to tease a possible haircare line, posting a half-cryptic gallery on Instagram.

Qasimi didn’t do the same old act of borrowing the prints for her collection.
