Lupita Nyong'o calls out UK magazine for photoshopping her hair
Lupita Nyong'o has called out Grazia UK for photoshopping her hair on the cover of its latest issue.
The 34-year-old Oscar winner expressed disappointment that the publication "edited out and smoothed my hair to fit a more Eurocentric notion of what beautiful hair looks like."

Nyong'o also shared a lengthier statement on Instagram, saying that there was still a "very long way to go to combat the unconscious prejudice against black women's complexion, hair style and texture."
She ended both her posts with the hashtag #dtmh (don't touch my hair), which was quickly picked up on Twitter.

The hashtag #dtmh was first popularised by Solange Knowles' song, Don't Touch My Hair.
Solange later used the hashtag #dtmh herself when British publication The Evening Standard photoshopped her braids on the cover of its magazine.
The paper later apologised, saying the decision to "amend the photograph was taken for layout purposes."
Mashable has reached out to Grazia UK for comment.
