Momina Mustehsan has been blonde for a hot second now. Basically since January, yet that blonde head of hair paired with mustard yellow dress had all the trolls go after the singer.

Momina Mustehsan showed up at the first-ever ‘Pakistan International Screen Awards’ held in Dubai recently. Her bold choice didn’t illicit a very positive reaction from many trolls on social media.

It actually led the trolls out of the woodwork. We get it no one’s fond of that blaring yellow.
Thanks for telling, I thought it was an egg yolk. https://t.co/8oGSDlKz20

Momina tried hard to take a bath with "Turmeric" and compete Bollywood actresses, but she still forgot something.

The ‘Bride of Chucky’ joke was totally uncalled for. Yet it’s not even the worst bit….

Are some women bullying another woman for dying her hair?
“Who taught you to hate the color of your skin? Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet?” ~ Malcolm X https://t.co/ILJtS40k9X

Natural hair is pretty great and empowering, but in a free world, we don’t tell women what they can and can’t wear.
Can someone please tell Momina Mustehsan that her hair needs to be reverted back to her original color IMMEDIATELY? #PISA2020

Some responsible brown women called this problematic attitude out.

As for the post-colonial beauty standard debate, relax folks it’s one woman’s hair color, not a fairness cream campaign.

I do not understand why do we forget the actual meaning of liberalism? IT IS @MominaMustehsan who decides what color her hair shall be and how will she dress up for the event. Why is her choice considered a hatred for the color of her skin or whatever. Ridiculous honestly. https://t.co/ddOMsSmFEy

Netizens called it what it is – bullying.
Appreciation tweet for Momina Mustehsan. Takes a lot of guts to live your life without caring what people will say about you. Seen so many toxic af comments on her picture. Why do we have to resort to social media bullying all the time?

That’s when people brought up another incident. The Ko Ko Korina remix singer is no stranger to bullying. Fellas two wrongs really don’t make a right.
She shat repeatedly on Qandeel Baloch, including within a day of her murder, never apologised.
Shat on folks with mental illnesses, never apologised.
Now she gets shat on.

Whether you call it social justice vigilantism or cyber-bullying, the bottom line is her hair her choice. No amount of trolling will change that.
As for post-colonial beauty standards, when was the last time we brought up this argument for something we personally witnessed in real-life?
She is looking great. Not many people know how to carry a bold look but she did great.
Momina is looking great. Every girl wants to experiment so does momina. Not many people can carry that color with Grace but she does. And haters! you should start loving people. Trust me it feels great.
Why people leave their own worries and interfere in other’s personal issues?
Her life her rules… chill farigh awam..!!
