<p>Summer Walker was, once again, a topic of conversation due to her recent hairstyle. Weeks after putting the innanet in a chokehold with her <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/summer-walker-switches-out-long-tresses-for-a-shaved-head-high-ponytail-combo/">shaved head</a>, high ponytail look, Summer tapped into culture and tradition to inspire a hair and &#8216;fit combo.</p>
<h6><strong>Summer Responds To Critics</strong></h6>
<p>On Friday, the singer published photos rocking a large afro wig and a traditional dress. Her wig covered her forehead and eyes. In one of the photos, she sat on a vintage cream-and-gold couch with her legs crossed. Her dress was white with a ruffled waist and half-length sleeves. The caption on her post said, &#8220;love my house&#8221; along with a moon emoticon.</p>

<p>But, it seems like the response to her look was less than pleasant given the follow-up Summer gave on her Instagram Story.</p>
<p>&#8220;Straight wig, slutty dress = [heart eye emoticon, devil face smiling emoticon, clapping hands emoticon and tongue emoticon],&#8221; Summer wrote. &#8220;Afro wig, dressed for ceremony = [vomiting emoticon, rolling eyes emoticon, woozy face emoticon and laughing emoticon]&#8221;</p>
<p>She included a second post on the subject in her Instagram Story. This time Summer referenced someone named Aisha, but didn&#8217;t give much context on the person.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the words of &#8220;Aisha,&#8221; step away from whiteness,&#8221; Summer wrote.</p>
<p>Both photos were posted on a background picture featuring the mirrors seen in Summer&#8217;s original post.</p>

<h6><strong>Summer&#8217;s Past Viral Hair </strong></h6>
<p>As mentioned, this isn&#8217;t Summer&#8217;s first time going viral for her hair. Following all the chit-chat about her shaved head, Summer removed the post. But, the artist made it clear that the removal had nothing to do with negative opinions.</p>
<p>&#8220;People are so funny y’all really thought y’all hateful comments had an effect on me? I took my shaved style pic down from IG cause my religion doesn’t allow me to show my head,” <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/summer-walker-breaks-down-why-she-removed-her-shaved-head-high-ponytail-look-from-instagram/">Summer wrote</a> on the story of her primary account (@summerwalker)</p>
<p>Summer also revealed that she &#8220;got in trouble&#8221; for the post, though she didn&#8217;t specify what kind of trouble or which religion she practices. She also mentioned wearing a wig for a video shoot versus dissatisfaction with her chosen hairstyle.</p>
<p>&#8220;Y&#8217;all think [too] highly of yourselves. Y&#8217;all weak as* opinions matter to NO ONE, a lot of y&#8217;all have as much significance in the world as an ant in the dirt,&#8221; Summer wrote. &#8220;No one even knows y&#8217;all are alive lol I was FINE ASF.&#8221;</p>
