Lucy Hale Faces Backlash over "Baby Hair" Comment

On Monday, the “Pretty Little Liars” star uploaded a photo from a recent shoot on Twitter, adding,"My baby hairs came to good use."

"The time my baby hairs came to good use at a shoot," Hale wrote, posting an image that showed the actress wearing her hair with a middle part and her bangs gelled down on each side of her face.

Her followers quickly found issue with the (now-deleted) photo and caption.

For many Black and Latina women, "baby hairs" are often shorter and a different texture than the rest of the hair, so they require special styling. Often women will comb down their baby hairs and hold the smoothed pieces in place with pomade. 

There are numerous practical reasons for slicking back these short hairs (which a person with textured hair can't control). But rather than hide them, Black and Latina women started elaborately styling their baby hairs and incorporating them into specific designs.

But Hale acknowledged the fact that she made a mistake and swiftly apologized.

SJWs need to disappear. Everything is racist and sexist since 2016. They should find a job or something.

Too many people here with moral superiority complex.

People are so sensitive now days. They are not actually offended by this they just want to put on this false illusion that they are but in reality they just want something to bitch about. There is more important **** to worry about in this world than a white women calling her glued down bangs "baby hairs". I never heard latina women use the term "baby hairs" by the way but maybe afro latinas do? Idk:oprah:
