As the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kylie Jenner is no stranger to the spotlight and the criticism it brings. And over the weekend the 18-year-old found herself in the middle of yet another cultural appropriation debate after she turned up at Alexander Wang’s NYFW show rocking a long, slightly textured high ponytail. While the hairstyle is a bonafide classic, Jenner’s choice to apparently use Yaki, a type of hair extension used for braiding, to achieve the look caused many to accuse the teen of once again jacking black women’s style.

Admittedly there’s a fine line between cultural appropriation and appreciation, and had anyone other than Jenner pulled out a pack of 1-B Yaki and popped it on her head, the conversation might be different. But this is Kylie Jenner, and we’ve been down this road before.

Last April, scores of misguided young people sucked on bottle tops and shot glasses during the #KylieJennerChallenge to mimic the teen’s pillowy lips. While she first claimed her pout was au natural, big sister Khloe let it slip that “Kylie decided to plump her lips.” Back in the summer, Hunger Games star and Teen Vogue cover girl Amandla Stenberg called Jenner out for “appropriating black features” while refusing to engage on issues important to black folks after the teen posted a picture of herself wearing cornrows with the caption, “I woke up like disss.”

Jenner dismissed Stenberg’s criticism by flippantly telling her to “go hang with Jaden [Smith] or something,” but the message was clear: I can wear whatever I want, despite your feelings.

Which brings us back to Jenner’s ponytail. Folks aren’t upset about the style itself, but rather Jenner’s use of Yaki, a type of synthetic hair used almost exclusively by black girls all over the globe for braiding, and her continual reliance on black style and culture without the burden (and responsibility) of actually being black.

While black girls are still being teased (and racially profiled) because of their skin color, big lips, big butts, and “nappy hair,” Jenner is praised for her curvy features, pouty lips, and bold, colorful hairstyle choices, which have often been considered “ghetto” when seen on black women.

Some will no doubt dismiss this latest wave of Kylie criticism as “hate” because it’s just hair, after all, right? But for black women and girls who’ve been told our hair and features aren’t beautiful and should be changed to look more acceptable (read: white), Kylie’s willingness to hijack styles we made cool — and the media’s obsession with her version of them — feels like yet another slap in the face.
