A Bournemouth salon called a mixed-race girl’s curls “too hard to handle.” 🥴 Enter superstar stylist Vernon Francois (Lupita, Serena, Doja Cat) to break down why Afro hair is NOT the problem ignorance is! What We CoverVernon’s journey from UK salon floors to styling Hollywood royalty and why every client deserves “guardianship,” not judgment. The viral straightening video: layers of race, education and profit that social media missed. Why many Black stylists still can’t work with textured hair, and the urgent need for regulation. How colourism, porn culture and “hair-swish” dance tropes keep straight hair on a pedestal. Vernon’s red-carpet rule: 12 years with Lupita and never a bone-straight wig.
