Is Angelina Jolie Too Cheap To Comb Zahara’s Hair?
My goodness, every single time I see Angelina Jolie’s daughter Zahara, I feel sorry for the child. Why does girlfriend’s hair have to look so whack? Zahara is a beautiful young girl, yet Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt obviously don’t care about Zahara’s hair. Why is Zahara’s hair always so messy? Jolie and Pitt are multi millionaires, they can find qualified black hair stylists in Los Angeles. Jolie and Pitt have the cash they can learn how to comb the girl’s hair properly!!!
Jolie and Pitt have no excuses they have the resources to provide proper hair care for Zahara. When I see the other children Jolie and Pitt have and their hair is always groomed and styled properly except Zahara. The question is why? Are Jolie and Pitt afraid to ask for help? Don’t Jolie and Pitt know Zahara’s hair is messy?
I don’t have a problem with people adopting children outside of their own race because every child deserves to be loved and taken care of. However, when people adopt a black child it is important for the parents to do their homework. The parents should research and learn about the culture of the black child and this includes proper hair care.
Let me be blunt, when I see Zahara with her frizzy hair it appears Jolie and Pitt don’t care about their daughter. Maybe I am wrong, with my assessment, but please comb the girl’s hair!

Look this is her hair, the girl is swimming in the pool or playing at home.
It’s not ugly it just hair. There are plenty of photos of Princess Z hair combed and braided or if she let her hair down naturally.
When they’re out in public the girl hair is combed and styled.
You might have a lot formal education, talent and other attributes but your critique re hair style almost edges on racial, social stereotyping. Unfortunately, a rigid style demand has been written about her before.
You all apparently know zip about little girls. Zahara has not been brought up acting
like a little prissy type, dressed as if she’s some princess (see Zuri). She lives like the independent she is. Her hair is combed, fixed neat in the a.m. and as soon as she gets on her own, her mother states, she’s pulled out the coif and has put herself into play. A normal kid.
I’m sorry but I am with Orville here. Z’s hair needs help.
I kinda disagree on this one. White folks get a lot of grief over this topic. I understand the complaints about it but in the scheme of things, it is just insignificant. They took this child into their lives and their home, so that they could love her… and nurture her and raise her and give her opportunities; opportunities she wouldn’t have had before. I figure as she gets older, they’ll take care of that. But she’s just a little girl who’s going to play and swim and be a kid. They might not be perfect with her hair, but they are giving her love.
I have to disagree on this one.I think Z’s hair is fine.After all she’s only 3 years old or so.What do want them to do to her hair? Straighten it or perm it? I’m glad they are leaving her hair natural and using curly products for her type of hair.That’s the best method for this type of hair to grow it’s full potential.Trust me I should know being an African American and having a niece who has hair just like Z.They do a variety of styles in her hair.Not just loose braids like you see in the above picture.I’ve seen twists,braids,ponytails,and afro styles.Also,Angelina said that sometimes Z will sort of loosen her hair up when she gets alone with it.So maybe that’s what you’re seeing sometimes.Either way I guess it wouldn’t matter just as long as Z is loved.
im sorry but that little girls hair needs help.some people want to come off saying she was swimming but after swimming you obviously have to wash african-american hair or it will get damaged, so why not comb it after washing.ive seen numerous pics on maddox, pax, and shiloh and their hair is not unkempt as hers.
I’m not saying it has to be permed or straightened, but it’s not hard to get conditioner and a pack of barrettes! Of course love & opportunities are important but part of that is care in proper grooming. Plenty of black little girls run & play without looking like a hot mess & when you’re a celeb you need to be careful how you present yourself & fam. I’d say the same if Shiloh’s hair was unkempt! If any white or asian child had their hair constantly looking undone, there would be a whole lot of criticism too. B & A don’t get a “pass” here!
My husband and I are researching adopting a child or children from Ethiopia. He’s Cuban and I’m a black american. It angers and hurts me to see white folks adopt our kids, and even white mothers with black (bi-racial) children with their hair uncombed. It’s as if they see our children as puppies in their eyes. They don’t have to be groomed like white children, they’re just cute pets. Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt and every other white mother I’ve seen with a bi-racial child would never go out or or let their white children go out with their heads looking like the bi-racial mop, or in Zahara’s case a nappy, kinked up mess, But for some reason they think Zahara’s hair being combed doesn’t matter. It’s just cruel and shows that these people don’t really respect the children as humans. Let a white child go to school with their hair uncombed, or tangled in knots and see what would happen? Yet everyday at my school the bi-racial children and Black children adopted by white parents always do. In fact the mothers will have long blond hair hanging down to their waist, and their black daughters will have their hair cut by them with scissors and pricked up on their heads. If their white mama has long hair, the girl is going to want to have long straight flowing hair. And it can be long straight flowing hair if the white mothers would learn to care for it. Frankly if my neice who is 7 with coily hair, if she can learn to comb her hair, full grown white adults should be able to learn to comb ethnic hair. They won’t learn because they see the children as puppies and not black children. What little girl of ANY race wants to walk around with her hair looking like she slept outside the night before? Three year-old black girls hair with caring parents, don’t have messy heads like Zahara. That’s the head of a black child being taken in like a pet by white parents who see the child as an accessory, not a human. Hell look at Heidi Klum’s black kid’s heads and look at the white one’s hair. These white folks just don’t care as much about the black ones.
Rich white folks need to open orphanages, and help black and African families adopt these children, instead of plucking them out of the Africa to treat them like pets. Loving a child means caring for the child and it’s only white folks who say that a black child’s hair needs less grooming than a white one’s.
One additional thing that many white people in 2009 still don’t know about most ethnic hair. White folks if I swim, or wash my hair everyday and fail to put moisturizer on my hair. That’s hair grease ranging from vaseline to olive oil or some type of oil, my scale will literally get dried out to the point I’d have sores in my head. You know how you guys can’t go out in the sun without burning to a cancerous death? Black folks and I’m guessing certainly African children need their hair cared for at least twice daily. In other words, (for your benefit white folks) if you buy a poodle, you need to get it groomed. If you don’t have it’s nails cared for, or hair cut, the poodle will have some issues. Same with ethnic hair. And yes the reason you see African women in National Geographic with hair so short and kinky they look like men is because they don’t moisture the hair. In America a black kid growing up, shouldn’t have the same hair as some African’s living in a desert with little running water…..ESPECIALLY if the mother and father raising them have healthy cared for hair. In our community you don’t just cut off girl’s hair because you’re in denial about caring for it. And that’s something white folks need to take into account when they decide to adopt a black child. Many do to get attention for themselves. The child doesn’t want to be a declaration that the white parents aren’t racists, or are so loving they adopted a black or African child. They just want to be loved. And part of being loved is for white parents to realize that these children need grooming.
