When Summer Arlexis, a student at Boston University in the US, noticed a serious lack of diversity among Disney princesses, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
To show Disney lovers and black girls the world over that Afro hair most definitely can be princess hair, she set about recreating some of the most popular hairstyles sported by Disney women.
Summer usually wears her hair in Senegalese twists, and she’s proved with her creations that braids are just as versatile as any other style.
