While texturism and natural hair discrimination are still damaging issues, Black women carry on advocating wider acceptance of their hair while keeping their hairstyles versatile.
With that in mind, the #thisismytexture trend on TikTok celebrates the adaptability of natural hair, as well as the array of hair textures Black women, may have.
Philomina Kane, the Shark Tank-approved founder of KIN Apparel, created the first #thisismytexture post, which has amassed over 380k likes since it was published last year.

“I got 99 problems, but my texture ain’t one💪🏾.. Keep it moisturized & keep it movin 😘 ,” Philomina captioned the post.
