Oh my gracious! Let me start by saying that I think Zoe Saldana is so pretty. When I heard that she would be gracing the cover of InStyle Hair, I was beyond ecstatic. Her tresses are always superbly perfect. But when I actually got a glimpse of the magazine, I was speechless. What in the world happened to Zoe's hairline?! Seriously, we need to discuss.
Just like a head full of gorgeous locks, a woman's hairline is so important. For black women especially, we are hairline experts. We often judge other women by those precious baby hairs alone. You wonder if some celebrity is wearing a wig, check her edges. Want to know if Ms. So-and-So is wearing extensions. Check the texture of her hairline compared to the rest of her mane. I would say that 80 percent of the time, black women, hair stylists, and anybody's mother notice hair before we notice anything else. Want proof that Zoe has a great hairline? Check out the behind-the-scenes video of her InStyle Hair shoot.
Whoever edited and then approved this cover should have taken a second look. The retouching makes it look like Zoe has a receeding hairline and that is not ok. If you're going to make a special hair edition for a popular magazine, you'd better make sure that every hairstyle on those pages is the business. Zoe's hair looks great, but this cover with those missing edges just isn't cutting it.
