"You used to pride yourself on not wearing make-up. You finally gave in, and there is nothing wrong with that. Just like there is nothing wrong with someone who chooses to wear wigs."

@PortiaMoemedi commented:

"This is such a weird tweet."

@SiphoMzizi3 was not pleased:

"This is the craziest response I have ever seen on X. I can see why yours is free😅😅. You can resell it for R20, since I think you don't like weaves."

@nomahelelele remarked:

"This is mean."

@nomhamha_ said:

"You are a bully because that post had nothing to do with you. You don’t get to tell people what to do with their hair. Wear yours the way you like and let everyone be."

@ashney_m agreed:

"You could've posted that separately. But no, you had to put it under her tweet. It's good that you love your hair, but let others be."

@DuchessWakanda disagreed with most:

"Honestly! I didn't see anything wrong with your reply🧎🏿‍♀️🤞🏿... I looked at it as two Black Queens showing off their preferences."
