H&M comes under fire for 'disrespectful' ad that features a young Black model with 'messy' hair pulled into an undone ponytail

H&M has once again come under fire for a new ad that features children with messy hair.

One of the photos from the ad showed a young Black girl with her natural hair pulled into an undone ponytail as she modeled a floral printed sweatshirt.

The controversial ad for H&M's clothing line for kids also featured other children with messy hairstyles.

Photos of the young girl began making its rounds on social media last Thursday, but it was celebrity hairstylist, Vernon François, who called out H&M for the problematic image.

'This post is just an assessment based on all my years of seeing situations like this happen time and time again. And its got to stop.

Though most people seemed upset that the child's hair wasn't styled better, others pointed out that all of the children had messy hair and it is very telling that out of all of them, people picked out the Black girl to 'ridicule'.
