Asap Rocky is the one who made box braids fashionable for younger male rappers.... Drake is late to the game... Alicia Keys should've been mentioned...she rocked braids before Riri and Zendaya
braiders deserve every penny, when i was learning braiding in cosmo school my hands were ACHING after a few mins😂 all of these styles are so cool tho, love how there are so many different variations to fit someone’s personal needs/style. huge props to my beauty people 💙
Great video, but I would have loved if there was just a few seconds/minutes to talk about the significance of braids to Black people. These aren't just "braids" they are braiding hairstyles and patterns that Black people created and popularized
Ayooo! I always knew I'd be watching you do your thing for the whole country to see. Proud of you girl. Never doubted your path for a moment. Keep grinding, you've got even farther to go 😘
I've been rocking straight backs in the same few simple styles for almost 15 years. My hangtime is super long. I think Sean Paul probably had the best braids ever back in the 2000's. Ludacris and Omarion had some clean ones too.
Between Black women wearing them the most, why were no dark-skinned female celebs mentioned or hired for this segment? All the women were mixed with Black or light skinned. This was poorly done. An everyday style for Black yet their styles only become a piece of the conversation and the stylist talking wasn’t even making sense half the time. Some of the braids weren’t even properly explained. One these pics weren’t even of braids.
This woman is calling cornrows braids, cornrows straight backs and straight backs cornrows. She confused herself and trying to confuse others🙄 should've hired someone who knows what they're talking about
suprised beyonce wasn't in it, for her iconic lemonade braids and other timless looks she has done, a big miss surprised not as many female celebrities were in this,
Please use a culturally Black / African American person. This was not the time for Afro-Latinx representation. A lot of this info is… partially correct due to the lack of cultural understanding of some of these brand styles.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You rock your braids so beautifully and your explanation was phenomenal
Bro I saw this and already knew Drake nipsey travis and Rocky were gonna be in here😭
rocky tooo clean with it!!!!!
Drake is not know for his bread, he is always copying people. He is so corny.
Well it’s in the title
travis literally copied asap whole style 💀
@@eddythewire3755. So by your logic everyone is corny because literally everyone is copying off of others😂

What is cosmo school?
@@rashedulkabir6227cosmetology school
That's cause it's for Black ppl
Y'all Ain't Black
When i think Rap and braids, Rocky's name comes to mind first.
Yea these descriptions of plats vs box braids vs cornrows is kinda all over the place.
😂😂 ikr
No mention of Alicia Keys? She did Rihanna's version 20 years before.
Great video, but I would have loved if there was just a few seconds/minutes to talk about the significance of braids to Black people. These aren't just "braids" they are braiding hairstyles and patterns that Black people created and popularized
💯
They should have chosen a black person - it is cultural, not just a skill
@@mon6745 vro doesn’t no the diff between race and ethnicity im dead 😂
@@mon6745is she not black?
@@emilioalvarez2763 if you have to ask...
Rocky would look great with any hairstyle
He is like a model ngl
I used to hate Drake with braids but it definitely suits him well. Very well.
Yeah it took a while to get used to on him

The fact the Alicia Keys isn’t on this list is CRIMINAL
i was thinking the same thing
Facts! We need a part 2
@@rachelbethel9772with Another hairstylist/braider
I realized they leaned more towards male representation
With the male rappers
And Ludacris too
The 3 styles I have in rotation asaps,pop smokes,Nipseys 💯‼️
3:36 those are actually flat twists, not braids
Y’all don’t know the difference between plats and box braids .
Loved the video! Beyonce's would be iconic, she's had so many styles over the years. Especially, in Destiny's Child!
I’m actually a huge fan of Lisa’s braids in this video. I’d love to see a 360.
Was hoping to see Luda here, his was also similar to Iverson's.

Never knew I’d be interested in this kind of topic but I am😀lovely narrator/hairstylist too
She sounds like she doesn’t know much. 🥴 Maybe she does but cannot interpret what she means. 💀
She shouldn’t even be talking about this.
If we're going to talk about braids, let's bring Africa into to picture and the true origin of these braids.
Scandanivians got braids too
this is not a history lesson g
braids are not some insane invention and could’ve been invented in multiple places on earth at the same time
@@tribaljukebox1773not box braids there’s a difference Afro braids are no way the same as Africans the hair texture aren’t even the same 🙄
The only person that comes to mind that y’all missed was Kendrick
This woman is calling cornrows braids, cornrows straight backs and straight backs cornrows. She confused herself and trying to confuse others🙄 should've hired someone who knows what they're talking about
Nah fr they should’ve had a black person do this
Exactly Lol
All beautiful hairstyles.
I was waiting for pop smoke the whole video. RIP The WOO💫
I feel like nipsey braids style is so iconic. Those 4 braids just to 🔥
we got some braids and braids some more braids and here we got uhh braids
bro that tapered hairline look crazy for travis his braids start in the middle of his head now😂
I’m amazed she did not mention DA BRAT!!!!
ASAP HAIR STYLE IS ALWAYS ATTRACTIVE❤
pop smoke's are my favourite style🔥🔥
Rocky gonna look like Denzel Washington
AYO WTF YALL SHOULVE GAVE HOMEGIRL MORE TIME TO TALK ABOUT AI WTF YO
She should’ve mentioned Takeoff’s braids which are VERY different especially with their length and width
takeoff had locs not braids
@@blackstartv2 he had braided locs which would’ve fit the video’s description
nah still doesnt cuz locs are their own style unlike the styles in the video@@ak_3rab
Nipsey might have the cleanest cornrows ever lmao
Did she just say straight backs? 😂 bby that's cornrows or canerows
Me personally I’m rocking box braids rn😂 in my bed with my durag watching this lol😂
No Chloe and Halle Bailey, no Issa Rae, Tracee Ellis Ross, Yara Shahidi ?! Criminal.
Should’ve done Jim jones fuzzy braids 😭🤣
She is GORGEOUS! 😍
Legend 🙏🏿✨
This must be for folks not of the culture cuz I’m looking at this lie “DUHH”
Thats the sis LETS GOOO!!!
Big Sean 🗣️
If Allen Iverson isn't in this video im gonna be pissed😂
No Big Sean is crazy
Isn’t his braids just like nipsey’s
She spoke abt pop smoke as if he is still present 🕊️
suprised beyonce wasn't in it, for her iconic lemonade braids and other timless looks she has done, a big miss surprised not as many female celebrities were in this,
i would like dreads to be added
Mmmmmmhhhhh this list ain't serving as much as it could
A black person should’ve spoken about black people hair and styles.
Agree but other races can still use the style of Hair
@@KnucklejobNope
This is for Black ppl to use
Steve Lacy has dope braids
keep Shining Mi Amor
♥️💎♥️💎♥️💎♥️💎♥️
Big Sean really brought the braid game over drake tbh

pls can u do dreads
she does not seem to know muck but go off
Pop smoke does not have cornrows 😂
they literally are cornrows
@@blackstartv2they’re switch braids
Ludacris
Bow wow
Pusha T
Snoop Dogg
What style of braids does the host have? They nice 😮
Really GQ? You couldn’t get someone else (Black) to talk about Black hair culture?!
She's probably Afro Latino you probably didn't take that into consideration did you?
She looks mixed and if she is I don't mind🤷🏾♂️
🔥 vid, she’s very intellectual
Snoop the game
only person missing was Pusha T
Gervonta davis
No Brent??!
I thought Asap wore knotless
These were the WORST examples ever 😂😂😂😂😂
Well spoken lady!
She said he has boxbrsids
What about Beyoncé lemonade braids
That just sounds dumb being said out loud
YESSS 💗💗👏🏽👏🏽
How u seen the bald guy with braids? 😂😂😂😂
I have a huge forehead but I don’t care I’m getting braids and dreadlocks
Culture Vultures
sooooo y'all couldn't find anyone black to speak in this video???
Does anyone else feel this is weird that we have a breakdown of black people of braids ? GQ ain’t do this for Paula Deen
Yeah, definitely
Yup
'weird' as in black-centric representation in popular media is very uncommon not 'weird' as in wrong.
no
Super super weird
She sound slow asf 😭😭
Why she talk about Nipsey & Pop in
present tense. Doesn’t she know 😬?
We really needed some one to explain this?
I get it drake is a pop star but how did a guy that has influenced no one to have cornrows is on the list instead of snoop doog make it make sense
She seems knowledgable, but wondering why a black woman wasn't used as braids are historically used in black culture.
This is called being Black. It’s just braids .
how did you miss the most legandary and perhaps important @Ludacris
What main name this hair style
Kris Knossos braids
RiFF RAFF
big sean braids
First beat was dope. I need a link if it's available. 👽🪬
HEAT
Why Isnt Snoop Dogg In This?
Ludacris
bigsean broo
forgot lewis hamilton
of of the black, hood chick and african briaders out there...of course this who GQ pick.
Meaning what, exactly? She's too light skinned to speak on the matter with any true authority?

@@downwiththeclique7239 A particularly sad brand of gatekeeping, be better. But you're most likely trolling amirite
@@nickl6715 no, my point is very valid, and it's not gatekeeping to have black people speak on black hair. It's called representation

Numero Uno!
No JIM JONES ??
how tf can you make a video about braids and not mention Riff Raff?
cuz hes not black goofy
Don't even pick a Black braider to talk about Black hair. That's crazy...
i was shocked
L liberal
No cuz like tf? Expert? 🙄
She obviously knows her stuff, stop making it about race
