**Simone Biles Fires Back at Hair Criticism: “Don’t Come for Me!”**

 Simone Biles isn’t taking any flak over her hair. The Olympic gymnastics legend had a fierce response to the online chatter about her hairstyle.

On Tuesday, Biles took to Instagram Stories to set the record straight, revealing the tough conditions that affected her look during Sunday’s women’s gymnastics event.

“Don’t come for me about my hair. IT WAS DONE but the bus has NO AC & it’s like 9,000 degrees,” she captioned a video showing her using a battery-operated fan.

She added, “Oh & a 45 min ride,” emphasizing the challenging environment she had to endure.

Dressed in a black sports bra and a nameplate necklace with her husband Jonathan Owens’ last name, Biles continued her defense with a second Story.

“Gonna hold your hand when I say this next time you wanna comment on a black girl’s hair. JUST DON’T,” Biles posted, clearly frustrated.

The gymnastics superstar was addressing a wave of criticism about her hairstyle during Sunday’s artistic gymnastics women’s qualification event.

Social media was ablaze with comments about her loosely knotted updo, with some users taking to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their disapproval.

“I’m just trying to figure out why Simone Biles’ hair never done? Like girllll come on,” one user wrote, adding, “STILL LOVE HER AND HOPE SHE DOES GREAT!”

Another commenter was more critical, stating, “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.”

A third user questioned, “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” .However, the backlash wasn’t universal. Many fans rushed to Biles’ defense, highlighting her remarkable performance despite the criticisms

“If one more person asks why Simone Biles’ hair is messy… she is quite literally flying and flipping in the damn air,” another supporter posted.

 A third fan added, “Simone Biles is out here making history and people are worried about her body type and hair. We really are cooked as a people.”

The intense scrutiny over her hair is not new. Biles has frequently addressed the public’s obsession with her looks rather than her achievements.

Earlier this month, Biles opened up about her relationship with her hair in an interview with Elle.
