Halle Berry just posted a powerful afro selfie and looks *so* different
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
I don't want to get all cringe here, but Halle Berry's latest Instagram post is equal parts stunning and powerful. While posting with afro-textured hair shouldn't still be a statement, it often is, especially when seen on a star we've never or rarely seen it on before, or when worn in un-polished casual styles. But what makes Halle's a statement, is the caption.
The iconic actress shared a hazy, glowing, makeup-free selfie to her Instagram wearing a full and fluffy afro and wrote to fans and followers: "Sunday serve…my man loves this. Forward all complaints to him." Flipping the bird at the idea that men don't find this hair texture sexy. Though studies have found that men are biased toward smoother textures, this is an appropriate situation to say 'not all men'.
She looks breathtaking, and the way the sun is hitting her? I simply cannot. It's a really different look when we're used to seeing her with long straight tresses or cropped short styles (when my mum used to keep my hair short in primary school, she'd override my complaints by saying I looked like Halle Berry – I didn't, I looked like a boy).
The first Black Bond girl, the first (and to this day, the only) Black winner of the best actress Oscar, Halle is always going to be a beauty icon to the Black community. Given her hair is currently cropped and bleached, it's safe to say this is a wig, but we're still so here for this gorgeous sexy afro visibility on the gram.
