Kim Kardashian defends straightening North's hair after she is criticized again
Kim Kardashian received a barrage of criticism last month after photos of her daughter, North West having straight hair surfaced online. The reality star was slammed as people thought she was too young to have her natural curls straightened. Yet again, Kim is being criticized on the same subject after she uploaded a throwback picture of North with her father, Kanye West. The picture showed North gently placing a kiss on Kanye's cheek. She captioned the picture as "I can still feel the love" along with a heart emoji. However, some fans were only focused on slamming the reality star. "Stop pressing her hair," wrote one, while another added, "She looks older with straight hair."
Meanwhile, a Twitter user wrote, "Don’t straighten her hair too much it’ll ruin her curls...I did that to my hair and ruined it but I’m finally getting my naturally curly hair back." Kim decided to reply to the fan and end the discussion about North's hair as she wrote, "She is allowed twice a year, on her birthday and birthday party! This pic was taken back in June on her bday." At the same time, there were others on social media who came to her defense.
"You people are so concerned about her to straighten her OWN DAUGHTERS HAIR. it isn’t your damn kid, is it? So leave her alone if she wants to straighten her daughter's hair let her! It isn’t affecting you, is it? NO! Leave the damn woman alone and get on with your lives!" one fan wrote.
Another advised Kim to ignore the haters because no matter what happened, people would always judge others. "Her hair looks beautiful!! Kim had it straightened... So what?!? She's not hurting North by doing that. People need to calm down because it's not that serious. I'm reading comments about "allowing her to embrace her natural hair"... What about the women walking around with straight hair wigs and straight hair weaves?? No one says anything about that. Applying heat to her hair isn't going to damage it because she's not doing it every day. I use a curling iron every single day, and my hair is just fine. No matter what a Kardashian does, they'll ALWAYS be judged!! I think North is beautiful either way," wrote another.
Another fan came to her defense and asked Kim to do what she thinks is right as they noted, "Don't let these so-called naturalists tell you what to do with your child's hair. Just a few years ago they were putting perms in their hair. In fact, some of their mothers were perming their hair before they were 12 yrs old. They are just miserable! Do you boo!"
And finally, there were others who noticed what the picture represented - the sweet bond shared between Kanye and North. "Cuuuuute," wrote one, while another added, "Daddy's girl! So sweet." Some even showcased their surprise over Kanye smiling for the picture as one commented, "No way he’s smiling" and another noted, "Kanye smiles!!!
