Newly crowned Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi defends her hair for the umpteenth time. The South African beauty talked to Trevor Noah on the Daily show on why naysayers should literally leave her alone lol.
One of Zozibini’s most talked about physical feature is her hair. Her trademark fade (aka German Cut!) has made waves around the world and it has been as inspiring as it has been divisive.
While there are many individuals who have hailed her for rocking her natural hair throughout both Miss South Africa and Miss Universe (all the way to the crown we might add) there have been plenty others who have tried to get her to wear a wig or a weave so that she can appear to be more “traditionally” beautiful.
Speaking to Trevor Noah she explained why she was tired of people trying to get her to wear long hair and she did so by telling the story of some of the meanest comments she has received since winning Miss South Africa . She said:
I would get comments from home where people would say she’s so underwhelming and a downgrade. I once posted a photo from my flat at home and someone commented saying the photo is so black.
The post said it is as black as you, Miss Ugly South Africa. I laugh about it now. This is my hair. Why don’t the same people tell other people to put on a weave?”
It was a thought provoking session with Trevor Noah. See the rest of the interview below…
