Buzzfeed Reimagines Disney’s Princess Tiana with Loose Natural Hair

Disney’s first black princess was a long overdue addition to their roster but many noticed that her hair was tied back or pinned back — the ENTIRE movie. This is a wild departure from other Disney princesses, who spend good chunks (and sometimes all) of their movies with their hair down. The team over at Buzzfeed reimagined what Princess Tiana would look like had she worn her hair down throughout the film and the results were curly (albeit wavy) cute.

Adorable!

What do you think of the new re-imagined drawings? Do you think Disney should’ve been more detailed in designing the hair of their first black princess? Should they have drawn Princess Tiana with visibly natural hair?
