Controversially, Kim allowed North to start posting on TikTok in a joint mommy-daughter account. On this account, we have a glimpse into the everyday lives of the Kardashian-West kids. In this video, we see North has straightened her hair and put it up into a classic half-up-half-down style. A few times, we see a Black hairstylist braiding her hair. But what’s so cute are young Black and Latin-X girls who try to dupicate North’s cute looks.
