The Italian-American actress Alyssa Milano, who we all know from tv shows like: who is the boss? and Charmed, surprised us recently with her new hair. Alyssa usually has a good sense of fashion and style, so we are not really sure about what she was thinking with this new hair.
Have not they learned yet?
Many celebs have fallen victim to claims of “cultural appropriation,” or “the adoption or theft of icons, rituals, aesthetic standards, and behavior from one culture or subculture by another”, and apparently the actress did not learn anything from Kylie Jenner and Vanessa Hudgens, who were also accused of the same thing last year.
What were you thinking girl?
Cornrows are a traditionally hairstyle in the black culture and their origins date back to a thousands years. Recently, the subject of who can wear this kind of hair style has been debated by celebrities like Kareem Adbul-Jabbar and in prominent publications like the New York Times, so when she showed up to Houston for the Super Bowl rocking crazy extensions braided into cornrows, the critics began to become viral through the social networks.
Of course not everyone hated the new hairstyle, there were some fans who left comments such as “you look great f*ck what other people say besides they’re not as attractive as you anyways so f*ck it keep it moving girlie love you.”
And @Alyssa_Milano will be accused of cultural appropriation in 5, 4, 3, 2…. Lol love your hair, you're rocking it #CulturalAppropriation

There is always an eagle-eyed person
You know that kind of people who always realize every little detail, don´t you?
Well, obviously after the photo spread across the internet, an eagle-eyed person looked beyond Milano’s braids and turned their attention to the people in the background of the photo.

The celebrity reaction
One fan told her black cultural styles were not customes to which the actress responded directly by tweeting “I’m so sorry you feel this way. I celebrate all cultures and styles. With pride.”
Then, the woman replied by saying…
@rosandyreel I understand. And I try daily to be as compassionate of a human as humanly possible. I'm on your side. Always.
