You should always filter your words before you tweet!
The team at fashion-and-lifestyle magazine Marie Claire rushed to clarify things after ending up under a heap of scorn for its appreciation of cornrows recently sported by Kendall Jenner.

“Kendall Jenner takes bold braids to an epic new level,” Marie Claire wrote on Twitter yesterday morning, accompanying the comment with a picture of the 18-year-old that sister Kim Kardashian had shared on her blog.
“It’s fun to experiment with new hair looks! Kendall and I are both trying out cornrows! What do you think… would you guys wear this look?” Kim inquired, also posting a picture of herself with a few braids.
Well, the public was not kind to Marie Claire on its take on Kendall’s hairdo, immediately slamming the magazine for the comment that seemed to neglect the fact that cornrows have been around for a long time.
We didn’t mean to offend or imply that cornrows were new. Our tweet was poorly worded.

Eventually, Marie Claire tweeted, “We didn’t mean to offend or imply that cornrows were new. Our tweet was poorly worded.”
It was also followed by this tweet:
We thought her hair looked great and recognize women have been styling their hair like this for ages.
