Simone Biles Addresses To Comments About Her Hair, Hours Before Winning Her 8th Olympic Medal
“Simone Biles hair never being done properly be pissing me off. Everybody else on the team is put together, then she looks like she just rolled out of bed.”
On her Instagram Story, Biles, 27, posted a letter to her detractors ahead of the women’s gymnastics team finals.
“Don’t come for me about my hair,” the Olympic athlete captioned a video of herself. “IT WAS DONE but [the] bus has NO AC & it’s like 9,0000 degrees,” she continued. “Oh & a 45 min ride.”
While many ladies prefer to wear their hair in a bun or slicked back ponytail, Biles has been seen with looser hair.
According to the rules, USA gymnasts must be “well groomed in her appearance” and make sure their hair is “secured away from the face so as to not obscure her vision of the apparatus.”
Many individuals have criticized Biles’ haircut on social media in spite of the guidelines.
“Simone Biles’s hair stylist should be fired.”
“I’m confused Did Simone biles purposely not do her hair?? Every single gymnast CLEARLY has their hair gel/sprayed down and in a tight beat appearance. Her bun is literally flopping around with pieces sloppy everywhere. It almost seems… on purpose…? Wtf”
“I know Simone Biles was complaining about the hair comments on her documentary, but damn, she needs someone else to do her hair not her mom no offence.”
“Simone Biles = flawless. Her hair, not so much”
