Kim Kardashian Claps Back at Mom-Shamers Over North West"s Straightened Hair
As many photos as Kim has uploaded to social media, Kardashian-West family photos are shockingly rare. And there might be more to that than privacy concerns.
Kim posted an adorable photo of her daughter and husband, but mom-shames came out of the woodwork to blast Kim over it.
Why? Because they think that Kim is ruining North’s hair. And some think she’s doing it on purpose … due to racism.
The photo shows North West, adorable and tiny, giving her father, Kanye, a kiss on his cheek.
Kanye is smiling, clearly overwhelmed with love for his daughter.
“I can still feel the love,” Kim Kardashian captioned this sweet pic.
But a number of people, both on Instagram and on Twitter, were hung up on one little detail in this image.
North West’s hair is straightened.
After Kim tweeted the photo, someone decided to offer her some unsolicited advice.
“Don’t straighten her hair too much it’ll ruin her curls,” a total stranger implored Kim. “I did that to my hair and ruined it but I’m finally getting my natural curly hair back.”
Amazingly, rather than ignore that absolutely unsolicited instruction on how to manage her daughter’s hair, Kim replied.
“She is allowed twice a year, on her birthday and birthday party!” Kim answered. “This pic was taken back in June on her bday.”
So that explains it. And we all saw North with her hair straghtened when she and Penelope celebrated their birthdays.
Unfortunately, that person’s unsolicited advice was one of the nicer bits of mom-shaming feedback that Kim received.
Within the Instagram comments, someone had the audacity to suggest that Kim had forced North to straighten her hair … because Kim longed to have a white daughter.
Fortunately, Kim didn’t have to deliver the verbal smackdown that this person so richly deserved. She has so many other followers to do this.
“So you think just bc she straightened her daughter’s hair that means she wanted a white kid?” someone replied to that comment. “Maybe north just want to try something different and ask her mom.”
As Kim said, North is only allowed to do this twice a year in order to protect the integrity of her hair.
Back in June, when Kim shared photos of North’s party, there was similar discourse.
Troll openly accused Kim of straightening North West’s hair to make her look white.
For context, we should remember that black people’s hair has been policed — sometimes literally — within the United States for centuries, and that continues to this day.
Hairstyles featuring black hair in its natural curls are sometimes labeled as “eccentric” and “unprofessional” by society and by employers.
(Unless, of course, they’re being appropriated by a beautiful white celebrity like Kim Kardashian or Zac Efron, in which case they’re daring and trendy)
So many black women wear wigs, extensions, or use straighteners in order to conform to beauty standards that originate in white supremacy. So, yes, hair matters.
But Kim is not forcing North to keep her hair straight. It’s a special treat that happens only twice a year.
North loves her long, curly hair, and gets excited when she sees other girls with similar hair because she knows that it’s special.
If Kim had wanted a white daughter, she could have had a baby with, well, any of tens of millions of white dudes who would have been down to try until that happened.
Kim is in love with Kanye (despite his, um, issues), and she does her best to tackles the special challenges involved with having biracial children.
It would be nice if trolls on social media could be a little less vile. But … we won’t hold our breath.

North West: Is Kim Kardashian Damaging Her Hair by Straightening It?
Fans are always happy to get more Kardashian-West family photos, but some critics don’t always like what they see.
North West had a birthday a few weeks ago. She is now 5 years old!!
But when some people saw that Kim had given her a straightened, Ariana Grande-style ponytail, they flipped out.
North West and Penelope Disick look so cute, right?
North is wearing a swimsuit, a robe, and a unicorn horn — amazing for a birthday party or any other occassion.
But it was North’s hair that drew the eyes of fans.
Not only on Kim’s Instagram stories, but when she was spotted out and about in public.
Some fans were very distressed to see that Kim had once again seemed to straighten her little girl’s hair.
“I hope those are not hair extensions in a four year old!” one Twitter user wrote.
We don’t think that informing that person that North turned 5 a few days ago would put them at ease.
(To be clear, we’re also not sure what’s wrong with a four-year-old doing their hair — hair extensions aren’t, like, tattoos or plastic surgery or whatever)
“I reall hate how the Kardashians keep straightening that poor baby’s hair tho,” another Twitter user writes.
This one, it seems, objects to the fact that they’re messing with her hair at all, regardless of her age.
“North West gonna have heat damage before she’s 10 — before I even knew what straightener was smh.”
SMH, of course, is an acronym for smacking my head, an expression of frustration.
There is a racial component to hair and hairstyles.
A lot of hairstyles that just happen to be banned by dress codes and company policies as “unprofessional” also just happen to be easier hairstyles for people with curly hair like North’s.
For black people, in other words.
This is why many black people in the US and other countries take great pride in their hair — because it’s part of who they are, even though white supremacist cultural forces have tried to force them to have straightened hair or no hair at all.
So … is Kim forcing North to have straight hair in order to fit in with European beauty standards?
No.
First of all, North only rarely wears her hair straightened.
Kim has spoken at length about how much North loves her hair and about how Kim encourages her biracial children to love their hair and skin.
And we just can’t imagine Kim forcing North to wear her hair one way or the other.
Especially, you know, for North’s own birthday party. Some parents would, sure.
But say what you will about Kim Kardashian — she is a loving mother.
Or, as one Twitter user phrased it:
“Kim has taken such good care of North’s curls over the years. The comments about North’s hair being straightened [are] tired,” the person writes.
That tweet continues: “First of all, mind your own children.”
Now, if a parent is doing some sort of harm to their child, by all means, we all have a duty to speak up.
But straightening North’s hair or giving her hair extensions or whatever for her birthday and a visit to a candy shop is honestly no big deal.
It is certainly not harmful.
Kim Kardashian is hailed as a “beauty guru” by many. We somehow can’t imagine that she’s going to sabotage her own daughter’s hair.

Rob Kardashian Posts Adorable Photo of North & Dream!
Rob Kardashian is back, folks.
After several months of self-imposed exile, Rob has reappeared on social media, and it seems things are going as well as can be expected, considering what a train wreck Rob’s life was last we checked.
To recap: following a seriously ugly breakup, Rob posted nude photos of Blac Chyna on Instagram.
When that got shut down for very good reason, he moved his revenge porn tirade to Twitter.
The only reason Rob isn’t commiserating with Harvey Weinstein right now on the island of predatory pervs is that his revolting actions were carried out before the start of the #MeToo movement.
Yes, Rob lucked out again, proving once and for all that he’s the living embodiment of privilege.
We’d say he still has a career, but Rob never really had a career to begin with (unless you count those three weeks where he tried to be a sock mogul, which we most certainly do not).
Anyway, Rob is doing something of a tentative apology tour these days, dipping his toe back into the social media celebrity pond and seeing what sort of response he gets.
Amazingly, he’s being greeted with open arms because, well … see our earlier comment about “the living embodiment of privilege.”
Last week, Rob posted a troubling tweet, and while many celebs would have been encouraged to seek help, he was encouraged to share the details of his troubles with his millions of followers.
This week, Rob is playing the cute kid card with a photo of his daughter, Dream, hugging her cousin North.
Now bear in mind, we’re not dismissing the power of the cute kid card.
Dream and North are, in fact, adorable children, and thus, the pics that Rob posted received the expected response.
“Awwww GOOD Morning cousin love North & Dream,” he captioned the photo.
We’re not saying this a calculated move on Rob’s part as he attempts to slowly work his way back into the spotlight, but …
… Actually, we sort of are saying that.
The man is Kris Jenner’s son.
He doesn’t move his bowels without thinking about how it might affect his brand.
But anyway – cute kids in that family. Now keep ‘em away from Rob, Kris, and all forms of social media.
