Naomi Campbell and Jourdan Dunn make Burberry history

It's damn near 2015, but that doesn't mean that many haute couture brands feature Black folks for their campaigns -- even though they count plenty of Black customers as their customer base (that's a blog for another day).

Iconic brand Burberry is featuring supermodels Naomi Campbell and Jourdan Dunn for their Spring 2015 campaign-- reportedly, the first time the brand has used Black models for their campaigns It is progress, no doubt, but it should have happened a LONG time ago.

They couldn't have picked a better duo: Campbell made history on the covers of Vogue and Elle and runway modeling for top brands; Dunn made history modeling for Prada after no Black models in more than a decade.

Naomi Campbell's Edges Revealed Again

Recent photos of Naomi Campbell have surfaced on MediaTakeout.com and BGLHOnline.com showing the supermodel with virtually no hairline and bald edges.

This isn't the first time that Campbell's hairline was outed. In 2010, the first pictures of Ms. Campbell's edges -- appearing to be permanently damaged by traction alopecia -- on a photo shoot surfaced and shocked many. The pictures are almost too painful to look at, reportedly the awful effects of years of weaved hairstyles while on the red carpet and gracing the covers of high fashion mags.

But two years later, it doesn't appear that Campbell's edges have grown back at all.

I don't wish hair loss on anyone, but I do wonder what price are we willing to pay for our hair? Especially when it's the hair of one of the most beautiful women in the world and a successful supermodel over 40 who, personal issues notwithstanding, still gives models decades her junior a run for their money.

I can't help but hurt for her. Money isn't an issue; lack of time, maybe. No woman wants their edges to look like Naomi's. And no hairstyle or weave is worth sacrificing your hair. Then I wonder:  Is her hair loss permanent? Has she tried things like castor oil massages or other methods for regrowing her edges?


Would you risk your hairline on a weave?
