    The contrast between the "normal" and "fine" hair and the black people's hair with negative adjectives is obviously the worst thing about this, but thick hair like mine isn't even on here

      Or even a person of any race with naturally curly hair? Is that not normal now, does it have to be flattened? Terrible advertisement all round

      Slight Devil's Advocate, but 'fine' hair in this context means thin hair, not that it's "Okay/fine". Of course the other parts of the ad are racist.

        Yeah you're right, I thought it was even more positive than okay, fine as in when it means high quality. Now I know fine hair is its own thing
