Four MyBrownBaby words about Blue Ivy’s hair: Leave. That. Baby. Alone …

As if we didn’t just finish having this same stupid conversation about letting black girl hair be after folk tore Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas a new one for having a less-than-perfect coif while she was busy performing the historic gym routine that made her an official American hero.

A few examples of the tomfoolery that invaded Twitter timelines across the land:

“Blue Ivy would be so cute if they just combed her hair.”

“When will she do Blue Ivy’s hair?”
