Simone Biles had a message for critics ahead of her first medal competition at the Paris Olympics : Dont even think about commenting on her hair.

Dont come for me about my hair, the seven-time Olympic medalist said in an Instagram story on Tuesday. IT WAS DONE but bus has NO AC and its like 9,000 degrees. Oh & a 45 minutes ride.

The gymnast was cooling herself with a handheld fan in the video behind the text, apparently on a bus without air conditioning en route to the event.

Paris is in the midst of a heat wave , with temperatures in the city climbing to more than 95 degrees on Tuesday.

In the next story, Biles swiped at those who have criticized her hair in the past.

Gonna hold your hand when I say this, she wrote. Next time you wanna comment on a Black girls hair. JUST DONT.
