China McClain Posts Amazing Instagram Showing Off Her Natural Hair

Descendants 2 star China McClain always looks stunning, both as her character Uma (listen to her new song here) and herself. In a revealing new Instagram, China opens up about her natural hair, which she often straightens, and societal beauty expectations.

In the Instagram, China is wearing a cropped black tee, oversized hoops, and her natural hair — and she looks flawless.

“Why do we let everyone else tell us what we should look like? How we should dress? How to wear our hair?” the caption reads, “What we can’t do based on our appearance or the color of our skin?”

She then gets into her decision to embrace her natural hair.

“Haven’t ever really worn my hair natural but I’m sick of straightening this magic,” she wrote. “I’m a black girl and I’m hella proud. And whether you are black, white, brown, yellow, red, green, or purple you should be proud too because you’re BEAUTIFUL. Okay I’m done, luuu you al.”

Many teens are commenting on the powerful post, sharing their own experiences being mocked or teased for wearing their natural, beautiful hair.

You look stunning China! Then again, you already know that.
