Same, I'm still team "do what you want," but when it gets to the point that we are taking better care of our wigs than our hair I start side eyeing it😭. But, I just wanna see us happy and not getting shamed for our natural hair, no matter the state/health, anymore🙌🏾
Yes, it is quite tiring that only a particular type of person becomes the representation of everyone. I still hope that black women with different aesthetics and looks can become mainstream. Thanks for watching!
I think one of the saddest examples of baddie culture I've seen is my friend giving up track because she was tired of sweating out her lace front wigs and makeup. Running track was her passion, but once she started using Instagram she slowly changed. Girl had a scholarship on deck and all. Now everything is for likes on Instagram.
I have been natural all my life (except for one time when this lady relaxed my hair without my mother knowing to make me "prettier"), but I can see how baddie-inspired wig culture could be very detrimental to women just learning to grow and accept their hair. I personally think that the natural hair movement is still strong and has left a footprint that cannot be erased. For the first time ever in history, there is so much documentation of black women with various hair types reaching incredible length goals. I'm literally so proud, and I know that despite our disagreements (since we often fight online and post think pieces criticizing one another,) the diaspora has made such an insane amount of change. I look forward to the next major wave of young creatives and their expression of natural hair! Thank you for watching and commenting!
My thing is.. Not everybody can be a baddie.. a baddie use to be someone who stuck out from the rest naturally, along with being independent.. now a baddie is makeup, lashes, nails, weave.. like tf
Yes, you have a point. In the video, I was talking more about social-economic class systems. Just as you stated it used to be more about those qualities that you listed above.... now it's about a standard look, money, and access to certain grooming habits. Thank you for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!
Same here. Especially on black women, the more "natural" the wig, the less natural it looks on the black woman. Especially those really long, shiny ones. I tend to associate women who wear those types of wigs with poverty, possible prostitution, and lack of higher education...... All my healthcare practitioners are black women and not one has a lace front. Dreads more likely. But lace front; absolutely not! And those are the women I respect. Women who are SET FOR LIFE. Because they have actual careers.
@moremiaj4786 Your viewpoint is a bit skewed if you think of "poverty" and :prostitution" associated with lace front wigs. I wear long, silky, lace fronts and I am neither poor nor a prostitute! I have a degree as a paralegal and I work in a large law firm. My bills are paid and I have good credit. You can't judge a book by its cover!
This baddie, twerking, lashes, bbl culture is killing us. Women are dying to look like something they are not. What happens when you do all of that to your body and then still aren’t accepted by people you want to be accepted by? Love who you are.
Notice that baddie culture is basically self objectification; It’s about who’s the sexiest; placing value entirely on the superficial (face and ESPECIALLY the body). The music is about who gives the best se*, their shape, their reproductive organs… Most social media “baddies” want you to notice their face just as much as their body. A popular pose is the arched back, backside to the camera, or hands seductively placed below their chest. It is literally advertising yourself to the world. It’s sad because women have been fighting since our existence to be seen as more than a v*gin* and a womb and now social media has encouraged women to literally put themselves back in that same box…
This is a very thought-provoking point you made here. It is rumored that certain "scouts" use some social media platforms to pick out women for rich men to fly out. Maybe this has something to do with it as well? I'm not sure. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Lace fronts were not intended for everyday wear. Made for movies, video shoots and stage hair. These women found out about them and took it to the extreme.
I think the trans community and strippers have influenced the modern “baddie” look. The everyday woman that is gorgeous is slowly becoming the “pretty” girl and the woman with multiple aesthetic surgeries is the “baddies” n that is a clear mimic from trans women from the late 80s n 90s, often had exaggerated measurements to prove their womanly nature.. from then on I feel like it sorta became a slight competition that no one talks about
When the baddie era started I literally felt like I was seeing trans women and drag queens....all of the sudden the look was exaggerated like how drag queens look when their performing the make up looked extremely similar too it was like now make up is being put on to hide something not enhance the natural features that were already there and from there on I felt like drag queens and trans women were the blue print of the baddie culture
I’m 26, apart of gen z and unsubscribed from the baddie aesthetic years ago & everyone thought I was “weird” or uppity. The key was to disconnect from social media for extended period of times. IG warped EVERYTHING for me. I Used to be heavy into wigs-but no baby hairs or lace fronts! I started to obsess with making my wigs looks natural and it would take HOURS & it was stressful. it got to the point where I was just like “it doesn’t look more natural than my natural hair so why do it?” I slowly moved back to sew-ins with leave out AND I only would buy kinky straight or kinky curly hair. Ppl were shocked how “natural” my hair looked and that’s when I realized natural hair IS the true BADDIE! Bone straight, 30in bust down will never be the aesthetic for black women-I’m telling you having curly/coily/kinky hair makes us the women that stand out from the rest 🤷🏾♀️On top of that, I didn’t realize my wigs were making me look soooo much older. I was only 21 and ppl thought I was pushing late 20s to early 30s. That should be enough for us to realize a lot of this mess is aging us!
Im so glad you reaslied your UniQness! I agree. Curly, kinky and coily hair makes us super divergent!! When I have my natural hair out people loooooove it. Sometimes i want to tie it up because of the attention no cap
The baddie esthetic is actually low class. It appeals to the more Urban crowd. Cause really wealthy people aren't walking around with 35 in bust downs and BBLs.
Both high and low class focus on image more than functionality and communicating they don’t need to work. Middle class people focus on function. Problem is, when a low class person is hyper focused on image, we know they don’t need to work…because of welfare🤣
When I see a so called baddie I have never thought “wow there goes a wealthy woman.” I only think of them as a rapper, an aspiring rapper or a hood chick who wants to be like a female rapper or become a groupie.
I dated a guy who wanted to be with a baddie, something I am far from and that’s my first encounter with how strong of a chokehold it has on me. I am not a baddie, neither do I aspire to be one either. I don’t admire them at all
What makes a woman a baddie to me is a woman who has beautiful thick natural hair, clear skin and a fit body while also being intelligent.. A woman that has skills, hobbies and stands on business. These women on IG should be recategorized as “drag queens” because that’s what they look like.
All natural is the best way to go and still be beautiful when that money runs out 😂 we are going to age natural ages will if you take care of yourself 😂
I wish we as black women would just take the time to grow our own hair. Our natural hair can be just as long and luxurious as the weaves, but we don’t have the patience to learn and grow our hair. We want hair down our backs ‘yesterday’ and it is costing us dearly. I see young women go from braids, to weaves, right back to braids. They don’t give their hair any time to breathe and strengthen up before putting more braids in and this causes their hair to thin out and sometimes fall out. We just need to love our own hair the way it grows out of our head.
I am half Hispanic, so maybe I have a bit of difference here (the hair in my profile pic is actually mine, albeit, straightened for ....easy manageability, and, well , my hair is extremely thick and heavy. So, I often feel sleepy when it's "natural. " And, it takes a lot of work, from oils, to dry time, go conditioner....) I think what you said is valid. Time, precious time...
From a hispanic… black girls with straight hair looks better on you than a white girl with straight hair. For them, it looks flat and stringy. Yalls has volumeeeeeee and body 🤌🏼😘
Omg you will see married women of other races such as Iranian, Jewish etc and their real hair, a little makeup and happy. The big boobs and bbl is not seen in their culture. We look so ridiculous lol
, I am a costume designer. The waste of the hair is sad to see. These human hair wigs are made from hair that people either donate at hindu temples for tonsure, or is sold by people who nothing else to give 😢😢😮 the thought of throwing it out so callously is very sad, like some girl across the world sacrifieced in vain. The ethics of how this hair is sourced should be questioned and verified 👀☝️ Not to mention, the labor involved with making and sewing wigs. Its sad know that peoples hair and hard work is just being thrown away 😢😢😮
I remember when lace fronts first came out and i remember being excited to be able to afford one, no more leave out I thought! Once I got one I couldn’t get the lace to ‘melt’ and like I would see online. I thought the girls I saw IRL with lacefront just followed a tutorial wrong. Low and behold I realised that however flat your wig lays however bleached your knots are you will always see the lace! Nothing wrong with it but it only looks real online.
Yes! I realized this early on with closures and quickly switched to silk-based closures. I knew deep down in my heart I did not have the patience or skills for lace fronts, lol . Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thank you for watching!
😢 I am a woman of certain age. I have been super coily for almost 30 years. Everything old is new again. Every new trend to get us to dislike our hair texture for whatever the disgusting reason is. We are spending money to fall for the reason or reasons especially when it comes to our hair. No love do we have for our uniquely God blessed beauty. I learned this long ago. Sad. 😢
@@DynamicTouch Have you seen? Kylie Jenner was at the 2024 Golden Globes(she didn't walk the red carpet) it seems Kylie no longer needs different coloured weaves.
As an 18 year old that really lives her natural hair and rocks it literally everywhere it has made me see that people really see it as low class. They look at it sometimes with disgust and say things like "why is it so rough". "It doesn't lie flat that isn't cute". "You should incest in a good wig". "You would look so much better with a lace frontal". But thankfully I had my mom and aunty who I wanted love their natural hair while I grew up. My mom had very short natural 4c hair that she cut regularly and my aunty had shoulder length(when stretched) natural hair that was really thick. I never had thick hair and because I never took care of my hair myself, started to have bald spots. But they helped me to love my hair and now taking care of it it is thick and long enough for me and that is what is important. Because I took care of my hair and encouraged myself on this still ongoing journey I have realized that there is really nothing that anyone can tell me that will make me hate my natural hair. Yh she can be tough sometimes and I can have bad hair days but don't we all. Even if someone tells me I have a bald spot in the middle of my hair I'll just say "yh but at least it's MY bald spot and I love her there"
My issue is not the wigs it's the excessive cleavage to every event. I saw someone wear a dress with most of her chest out to a wedding. Everything doesn't have to be raunchy.
What I've noticed is that baddie culture used to be about Independence and self preservation. It was supposed to be about confidence and not being fit into a mold. Being unordinary or "bad" in the terms of society. It used to be something that uplifted women.... But when baddie culture started to become attractive and perfered to some people, majority men, all of a sudden being a baddie was no longer a movement but a way to be found attractive by men. It was no longer about those qualities but all looks and show. And I aint blaming men because anybody with two sides of a brain cam see that time and time again a lot of things meant to uplift women became soley to look attractive when men started to find it attractive and pursue it. When baddie culture runs out of trend it will be something new that women will flock to to be found attractive. It isn't baddie culture that's poisoning us, its the millennium old desire to be found attractive. Women used to bleach their skin with toxic chemicals despite that it was literally killing them to be found attractive. But stopped when being natural and or tan was found attractive. When baddie culture dies, another toxic one will replace it. You cannot win, no women has ever truly won. And most women haven't truly looked at a trend and asked "is this attractive to me..? Or do I find it attractive because everyone else does..?"
I might get hate.. but all feelings aside and thinking logically… We will never be “pretty” there is always someone better and even then, even that “better” isnt enough… and will get abandoned for no reason. Men and society like “pretty and the NEW”. Women are wasting time trying to be pretty.. trying to “KEEP” up, when theres actually no such thing. You never were or are going to be, you can be PRETTY, but you will only be NEW for so long.
Let's talk about how artificial and borderline pornographic the images look, and girls think this is how to be beautiful. It's why I appreciate the young lady Black Chyna in that God changed her life and she has stopped with the implants and such. She now has a natural beauty that makes her glow.
The fact that non bw were getting fillers to have fuller lips like us and we see our own with already full lips getting them 😭 like we were already the standard and now everyone is looking like an overinflated balloon in the face
Any Blk woman that would get a lip filler is proving that she needs YT approval- 'cause she's literally copying the women who are copying her in the first place. Yes, some of us might have naturally thin lips- but most of us really don't to be out here doing lip fillers like that.
It’s so true about feeling like natural hair isn’t good enough after wearing wigs. I wore wigs for years after going through chemo and even when my hair grew back I preferred the wigs. My real hair was so flat and “thin”. My wigs made me look at least 5 years younger and looked so amazing in pictures.. When I stopped wearing them after awhile I stopped hating my natural hair. It really is an addiction. Great video!
That’s so crazy when you stop and think that the majority of this hair comes from India where it was donated in a ceremony before the believers think they will be blessed. There are videos here to the head shaving. It’s crazy.
I made a video about hip-hop’s impact on the beauty standards of today. And from my findings, the men perpetuated the “baddie” standard before the Kardashians were even on the scene. Way before Instagram.
@@charlescoreyz4184 it’s called influence.. Men say what they desire (a.k.a a baddie) Women follow That simple Women aren’t following what the next woman do if said woman is not in demand… Men set the standard of what’s in demand .. Becasue the end goal is for said woman to be attractive to MEN It’s not complicated
@@90ejbfrom the late 2010s maybe but back in the day video girls had their own look, different body shape and none of them looked a like. Now it’s different everyone looks the same!
A ministers wife loudly and clearly said on TV that African women's hair was unattractive and undesirable. She insinuated that wigs and extensions were the go to for young women who wanted husbands. Well, she recieved some backlash of course but the message had already been passed.
She was pretty influential but I feel like it was a thing before her. Meagan Good, Lauren London, Christina Milian, Destiny’s Child all did the thing back in the day.
@@IVYSTARR-i3k who in this era wanted to look like Lil Kim? Nicki paved the lane for the bbl culture, long colorful and animated hair, she also paved the way for the look of all these new female rappers. It’s copy and paste and they all have Nicki’s “shape.”
@@IVYSTARR-i3k okay! To your point you are right. Lil Kim definitely did have the colorful hair. But new age era, the fake body was definitely paved from Nicki, Kim, and so forth.
It’s entirely too much work to constantly maintain an aesthetic. The wigs, makeup 24/7, lashes, the latest trends, nails done every 2wks, filler, surgery, periodic rounds of lipo, etc.
I think that African AmericanRappers from the 90s such as Lil Kim as well as Video Vixens from early 2000s were the inspirationforthis aesthetic . The kardashians made the non poc interested in trying this look but this look was defs not started by them and I agree with you 100% on that
The kardashians are not "baddies". Besides kim, khloe and kylies bbl which kim and khloe now removed, they dont have any other "baddie aesthetic feature". They dont even dress like "black baddies" and dont act like them either. The kardashians are more like the likes of paris hilton and other wealthy socialites. They fit more in the wealthy socialite aesthetic. Then again, the black baddie look and the white baddie look are two different things altogether. The black baddie look is like a black female rapper. The white baddie look is like a rich white socialite woman (sort of like the "that girl aesthetic which white women seem to like)
I agree somewhat- However I think this is a poor take on the Vdeo Vixen aesthetic because they were so flawless looking. They never looked garish, I don't really remember them wearing wigs- natural blown out hair, relaxed or tracks and sew ins. Really pretty candy coloured make up that made them look sparkly but no drag like contouring. The baddie aesthetic to me, is like a ghetto caricature- like the movie Baps.
I remember when you didn’t want to look fake even if you had a little work done. You were discreet because you wanted to look naturally beautiful. Now it is out in the open and a right of passage to get plastic surgery. 😢
Ppl complained when plastic surgery was kept a secret bc they felt it was setting unrealistic standards but now that ppl are open gen z is getting WAYY more surgery than ever
This was so eye opening… I am working on growing my real hair to new lengths and retiring my ponytails and knotless braids. Ngl it feels weird when the whole world basically is rocking 40 inch bussdowns but at least I’ll have long natural hair in a few months and forever if I keep taking care of it. I’m kind of scared to see what we’ll look like when we’re old 😳
Great video. When I first wore a lace front I knew it wasn’t for me. Lace where? Lace right here! 😂Nor the edges look. I’m good with my leave out especially for natural extensions.
The "baddie" aesthetic has also had a heavy inffluence on hispanic girls over the past few years as well. Which is why there is now the "copy n paste" look and the label of "big booty latinas". It only stereotypes and objectifies hispanic women. I have literally been told that I don't look mexican or that I'm not mexican enough because people only think hispanic women have this "baddie" look. I don't even like using the word "latina" because now its associated with such an objectified stereotype.
You must be young- I say this 'cause Latinas were heavily objectified as salacious and objectified heavily in the urban Blk community since the late 90's. A good amount of the video vixens of the early 2000's were Latina- look up Gloria Velez, she was one of the biggest of that era along with Melyssa Forde and co.
I agree with you! I’m from the Caribbean and Florida is super close to us so many of us from The Bahamas are always traveling to Miami / Orlando / Ft. Lauderdale etc! Honestly Miami Is FLOCKED with Hispanic woman that are influenced by baddie culture. I mean almost every woman has a BBL down there literally! Not bashing it but I’m just saying that there is some truth to what you’re saying !
Ok in a brief, a baddie is an illusional (only on social media because I’ve never met none of these ppl in real life) person with insecurities (the need to look a certain way through surgery, make up, nakedness, wigs and all the acrylic nails,etc). I’m glad I’m not in this category.
No! No one with locs is EVER BROKE! People spend thousands of dollars just to BUY human hair locs! From other black people! We all know the cost that goes into locs and its upkeep! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Me too 😂and I have them down my butt and they are cut they use to be down to my calves so I cut up just above my butt. I even now can fold my hair and wear a Afro wig not lace front when I feel to change to a natural look. The wig is for my extra soul sister look from back in the day but I love love my locs. Let be broke together 😂🥰
Nicki Minaj was sort of the 1st modern day baddie within some of the definitions, then myself lol.. but now a baddie is basically just a basic trans woman, we are in competition with shemen. So, I am partially joking but this life is weird now. We need to go back to being strong and independent woman whom want a strong household. Let’s correct our generational curses and start incorporating some of the things that do work. Like eating healthy, exercising, practicing self love… We will soon see this insecurity recking havoc on our country, fade.
Remember when we had this internet era of like naturalism, body positivity, kindness, and empowerment? Wtf happened?? Its like Tiktok popped off and now everyone is back to where we started and even more extreme. Ive seen people praising EDs, its now normalized to get fake boobs or butts or faces. I miss that short window of positivity I live in Las Vegas and was formerly in the modeling industry and the pressure to get work done is insane! Its so normalized here, i literally stopped doing runway and ad work because the pressure is too much and the field is so saturated with women who will do ANYTHING to get to that next level or to get the follows. Some of the routines these models had to maintain their look was tragic. The industry is shifting more and more towards that typical Instagram model face and the fashion world is going to be fashion novafied so soon, just watch!
I think the video vixens of the 90s( melisa ford) started it and later on the love and hiphop and wags ladies and nowadays its the pinterest and instagram models are the norm!!!
Melissa Ford has natural long hair, natural figure and does not wear wear drag queen makeup and is very feminine. These so called baddies have fake baddies, crazy looking eyelashes and nails. They also wear drag queen make. If you take of your skin you don't have to wear to much makeup. They all look the same spandex outfits, drag queen makeup and a wig with a part down the middle. Imagine being so delusional thinking that a wig/hair weave is your hair. Low self esteem
Kylie Jenner had her face and body worked on. I consider a baddie , a independent ,classy, feminine , natural face and body and don’t need a bunch of cake up to be pretty ❤
they all look mean because they’re usually exactly that mean. that kind of lifestyle makes it difficult for you to connect with your self and breed true inner peace and positivity.
The baddie subculture reminds me of the twilight zone. Everyone looks alike. There's no uniqueness about anyone anymore. Now all these women have the same lace front,the same slicked down baby hair,the same eyelashes,the same breast implants,the same snatched waist,the same bbl,the same skin tight fashion nova outfit.
I always thought that baddie was a term a guy used to describe a girl that he liked who checked all the boxes and I guess when women start calling themselves that that’s when all the weave the lashes, the nails, the BBL’s the Hoochie, mama skirts, and clothes all came into effect
Excellent video that you have touched on this subject. Straight facts youve stated. Especially love the take on the last few mins if the video. All of it is deception on every level.
Hello! Thanks for watching! That commercial is for a product that is part of the Synthetic Hair Project. Also, this commentary was to point out behaviors surrounding the human hair industry as it pertains to Baddie Culture (Baddie Inspired Wig Culture). It is not addressed to those who do not subscribe to baddie culture. There are many sub-cultures surrounding wigs, their usage, styling, and acceptability. Even within black women spaces, there are many subcultures as well. This video was not to condemn all black women (since we are all vastly different and not a monolith), but to address a specific wig subculture that I personally deem as very toxic (and creates a hyper dependency to something that at its core, is just an accessory). As to what are some of the other cross-cultural wig practices, cultures, and subcultures of wig wearing? I go back in time to talk about it in my video titled: WIG INFLUENCING Goes INTERNATIONAL!!! | A ONCE in a LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY for Women Across The Globe! (ruclips.net/video/CvAZzsO0BiU/видео.html ) Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it!
Let's be fr yall India Westbrooks paved the way for current baddie culture, I know some of yall remember the chokehold she had on black Twitter for YEARS
I don’t think it’s just one person who paved the way. However, she’s so young somebody influenced her to be who she is too. I think she did have an influence tho for sure.
I actually love wigs & fake hair cause I looking different from time to time. But I understand for certain people it’s like something to do with their own self image
It’s really unhealthy to wear them so often caus they’re treated with chemicals that are known to cause cancer. Changing clothes often is one thing but wearing hair texture that isn’t your own so often is giving body dysmorphia.
So i don’t have much of a forehead so am unable to wear wigs and the one time i tried i ended up looking like a tortoise. 🤷🏽♀️ No baddie aesthetic fa me 🤧😩😅
Great video! Personally I like the colorful wigs on us. It’s the extra silky, long wigs that bother me. But I think the natural hair movement can also be a factor in how we view our hair. A lot of texturism when we wear it as it is or when asking for advice on maintaining. Went back to relaxing my 4C hair. Way Easier to blend with protective styles. Also I wear it out. Just big chopped my hair last fall my hair is almost touching my shoulders. My fro wouldn’t get past that awkward stage (shrinkage) lmao. I stopped caring about labels- my hair is healthy and still super thick.
Nowadays baddies aren’t baddies they all try to look the same and they all fail because underneath all of the makeup the fake hair and the bbl is the same girl with the same low confidence that she had before all of the add ons that gave her a false image of herself
I think baddie culture is rooted in racial ambiguity you were not supposed to look too black or too white, you have to be in a grey area. People were supposed look at you and think wat is she mixed with and you see this by the fact the your most well know baddies are and look racially ambiguous.
I’ve been talking to my clients so much about personal style and pricing of styles. People wanting $400 baddie styles but >$200 like maam it can be created in illusion but for health, can we please do a different hair care routine
Personally this was cute to me in my early and mid 20's .....now in my late 20's this is just not it. Could be my personal taste but in any way it is giving "I need validation and attention from another because my attention is not good enough atm".
I'm not familiar with the baddie culture but if I had to choose who started the culture I'd say that it was none other than the OG of colorful wigs and outrageous fashion herself Lil Kim
I’m so sick of lace fronts being FORCED on black women. And I’m sick of the whole “baddie culture.”
Same, I'm still team "do what you want," but when it gets to the point that we are taking better care of our wigs than our hair I start side eyeing it😭. But, I just wanna see us happy and not getting shamed for our natural hair, no matter the state/health, anymore🙌🏾

I think one of the saddest examples of baddie culture I've seen is my friend giving up track because she was tired of sweating out her lace front wigs and makeup. Running track was her passion, but once she started using Instagram she slowly changed. Girl had a scholarship on deck and all. Now everything is for likes on Instagram.
That’s insane and sad
She have the option of braids and lace fronts will always be there but her scholarship won’t
Crazy how Instagram can change a person😕
That's so damn sad smh
never understood how anyone can work out rigorously while wearing makeup and done up hair...but some ppl do it
That’s sad. She could have been an athletic baddie
i hate how we did the whole natural hair movement just to cover it up with straight hair
I have been natural all my life (except for one time when this lady relaxed my hair without my mother knowing to make me "prettier"), but I can see how baddie-inspired wig culture could be very detrimental to women just learning to grow and accept their hair.
I personally think that the natural hair movement is still strong and has left a footprint that cannot be erased. For the first time ever in history, there is so much documentation of black women with various hair types reaching incredible length goals. I'm literally so proud, and I know that despite our disagreements (since we often fight online and post think pieces criticizing one another,) the diaspora has made such an insane amount of change.
I look forward to the next major wave of young creatives and their expression of natural hair!

Yup. The type to catch an attitude at a moments notice, prioritize being VIP section at club, and ask you where you got your hair🤣

This baddie, twerking, lashes, bbl culture is killing us. Women are dying to look like something they are not. What happens when you do all of that to your body and then still aren’t accepted by people you want to be accepted by? Love who you are.
Notice that baddie culture is basically self objectification;
It’s about who’s the sexiest; placing value entirely on the superficial (face and ESPECIALLY the body). The music is about who gives the best se*, their shape, their reproductive organs…
Most social media “baddies” want you to notice their face just as much as their body. A popular pose is the arched back, backside to the camera, or hands seductively placed below their chest. It is literally advertising yourself to the world.
It’s sad because women have been fighting since our existence to be seen as more than a v*gin* and a womb and now social media has encouraged women to literally put themselves back in that same box…
This is a very thought-provoking point you made here. It is rumored that certain "scouts" use some social media platforms to pick out women for rich men to fly out. Maybe this has something to do with it as well? I'm not sure. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Women have been fighting for women to have choices. You don't have to like or agree with it
And for free at that!
People argue the sex revolution did that
I hate that butt to the camera pose. It always looks like someone taking a photo of a horse behind or pig butt.
Lace fronts were not intended for everyday wear. Made for movies, video shoots and stage hair. These women found out about them and took it to the extreme.
That’s my problem with all this. Everything is taken to the extreme it’s annoying
Lace is used for whatever ppl want to use them for and for however long they want to use lace for.
Oop did this strije a nerve...@@kellegeez
I think the trans community and strippers have influenced the modern “baddie” look. The everyday woman that is gorgeous is slowly becoming the “pretty” girl and the woman with multiple aesthetic surgeries is the “baddies” n that is a clear mimic from trans women from the late 80s n 90s, often had exaggerated measurements to prove their womanly nature.. from then on I feel like it sorta became a slight competition that no one talks about
YESSSSS clear example when cardi did her recent photo shoots trans women were saying she was copying them with her surgeries. Like wtfff
Agreed.
When the baddie era started I literally felt like I was seeing trans women and drag queens....all of the sudden the look was exaggerated like how drag queens look when their performing the make up looked extremely similar too it was like now make up is being put on to hide something not enhance the natural features that were already there and from there on I felt like drag queens and trans women were the blue print of the baddie culture
Absolutely 💯
Very good point. I hardly hear people have this perspective on this look
I’m 26, apart of gen z and unsubscribed from the baddie aesthetic years ago & everyone thought I was “weird” or uppity. The key was to disconnect from social media for extended period of times. IG warped EVERYTHING for me. I Used to be heavy into wigs-but no baby hairs or lace fronts! I started to obsess with making my wigs looks natural and it would take HOURS & it was stressful. it got to the point where I was just like “it doesn’t look more natural than my natural hair so why do it?” I slowly moved back to sew-ins with leave out AND I only would buy kinky straight or kinky curly hair. Ppl were shocked how “natural” my hair looked and that’s when I realized natural hair IS the true BADDIE! Bone straight, 30in bust down will never be the aesthetic for black women-I’m telling you having curly/coily/kinky hair makes us the women that stand out from the rest 🤷🏾♀️On top of that, I didn’t realize my wigs were making me look soooo much older. I was only 21 and ppl thought I was pushing late 20s to early 30s. That should be enough for us to realize a lot of this mess is aging us!
Im so glad you reaslied your UniQness! I agree. Curly, kinky and coily hair makes us super divergent!! When I have my natural hair out people loooooove it. Sometimes i want to tie it up because of the attention no cap
I’m Caucasian, but completely agree with you. Black Women’s are gorgeous..they need to embrace it and ignore social media.
The baddie esthetic is actually low class. It appeals to the more Urban crowd. Cause really wealthy people aren't walking around with 35 in bust downs and BBLs.
I agree,a frankly they try TOO hard
Very low class low income media pushes what they push especially to blacks
Extremely true.
Say it louder for the ones in the back
Both high and low class focus on image more than functionality and communicating they don’t need to work. Middle class people focus on function.
Problem is, when a low class person is hyper focused on image, we know they don’t need to work…because of welfare🤣
When I see a so called baddie I have never thought “wow there goes a wealthy woman.” I only think of them as a rapper, an aspiring rapper or a hood chick who wants to be like a female rapper or become a groupie.
Same.🤞🏾😂
I dated a guy who wanted to be with a baddie, something I am far from and that’s my first encounter with how strong of a chokehold it has on me.
I am not a baddie, neither do I aspire to be one either. I don’t admire them at all
What makes a woman a baddie to me is a woman who has beautiful thick natural hair, clear skin and a fit body while also being intelligent.. A woman that has skills, hobbies and stands on business. These women on IG should be recategorized as “drag queens” because that’s what they look like.
Oh you just described me 🥰😂 but no I 100% agree! A woman who is authentically herself, not trying to fit in with a beautiful mind!
Damn my skin ain’t clear 😭😂but I’m a still a baddie tho
All natural is the best way to go and still be beautiful when that money runs out 😂 we are going to age natural ages will if you take care of yourself 😂
Preach baby girl
Not every woman has natural thick hair. Many women have fine hair.
I wish we as black women would just take the time to grow our own hair. Our natural hair can be just as long and luxurious as the weaves, but we don’t have the patience to learn and grow our hair. We want hair down our backs ‘yesterday’ and it is costing us dearly. I see young women go from braids, to weaves, right back to braids. They don’t give their hair any time to breathe and strengthen up before putting more braids in and this causes their hair to thin out and sometimes fall out.
We just need to love our own hair the way it grows out of our head.
I am half Hispanic, so maybe I have a bit of difference here (the hair in my profile pic is actually mine, albeit, straightened for ....easy manageability, and, well , my hair is extremely thick and heavy. So, I often feel sleepy when it's "natural. " And, it takes a lot of work, from oils, to dry time, go conditioner....) I think what you said is valid. Time, precious time...
Dye natural hair pink and do certain styles and that hair will fall out.
@@nonino1644 I don't like pink hair.
From a hispanic… black girls with straight hair looks better on you than a white girl with straight hair. For them, it looks flat and stringy. Yalls has volumeeeeeee and body 🤌🏼😘
Omg you will see married women of other races such as Iranian, Jewish etc and their real hair, a little makeup and happy. The big boobs and bbl is not seen in their culture. We look so ridiculous lol
, I am a costume designer. The waste of the hair is sad to see. These human hair wigs are made from hair that people either donate at hindu temples for tonsure, or is sold by people who nothing else to give 😢😢😮 the thought of throwing it out so callously is very sad, like some girl across the world sacrifieced in vain. The ethics of how this hair is sourced should be questioned and verified 👀☝️
Not to mention, the labor involved with making and sewing wigs. Its sad know that peoples hair and hard work is just being thrown away 😢😢😮
This stared weighing on me too! Hairstyle after hairstyle I begin to feel so wasteful 😞
I remember when lace fronts first came out and i remember being excited to be able to afford one, no more leave out I thought!
Once I got one I couldn’t get the lace to ‘melt’ and like I would see online. I thought the girls I saw IRL with lacefront just followed a tutorial wrong. Low and behold I realised that however flat your wig lays however bleached your knots are you will always see the lace! Nothing wrong with it but it only looks real online.
Yes! I realized this early on with closures and quickly switched to silk-based closures. I knew deep down in my heart I did not have the patience or skills for lace fronts, lol .
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thank you for watching!
I’m not that good with lacefronts either but I normally just use the glue to lay down my front. I never use the melt me down spray, it don’t work
Yup that’s why I transitioned to using vpart wigs. I only wear kinky straight so it looks natural
I told myself yesterday I was tired of wearing wigs and weave! It gets tiring doing that too 🤣 LIKEEE I straightened my hair yesterday and I love it 🥰
😢 I am a woman of certain age. I have been super coily for almost 30 years. Everything old is new again. Every new trend to get us to dislike our hair texture for whatever the disgusting reason is. We are spending money to fall for the reason or reasons especially when it comes to our hair. No love do we have for our uniquely God blessed beauty. I learned this long ago. Sad. 😢
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, for watching, and for commenting!
@@DynamicTouch Have you seen? Kylie Jenner was at the 2024 Golden Globes(she didn't walk the red carpet) it seems Kylie no longer needs different coloured weaves.
As an 18 year old that really lives her natural hair and rocks it literally everywhere it has made me see that people really see it as low class. They look at it sometimes with disgust and say things like "why is it so rough". "It doesn't lie flat that isn't cute". "You should incest in a good wig". "You would look so much better with a lace frontal". But thankfully I had my mom and aunty who I wanted love their natural hair while I grew up. My mom had very short natural 4c hair that she cut regularly and my aunty had shoulder length(when stretched) natural hair that was really thick. I never had thick hair and because I never took care of my hair myself, started to have bald spots. But they helped me to love my hair and now taking care of it it is thick and long enough for me and that is what is important. Because I took care of my hair and encouraged myself on this still ongoing journey I have realized that there is really nothing that anyone can tell me that will make me hate my natural hair. Yh she can be tough sometimes and I can have bad hair days but don't we all. Even if someone tells me I have a bald spot in the middle of my hair I'll just say "yh but at least it's MY bald spot and I love her there"
The baddie culture is aging these women. Its an esthetic
1 year later and it’s still crazy how carbon copy everyone is
My issue is not the wigs it's the excessive cleavage to every event. I saw someone wear a dress with most of her chest out to a wedding. Everything doesn't have to be raunchy.
And to court!!!
@@lovelee1772 Dang they're crazy for that. lol
It's to a point that people need to start writing on their wedding invitations no sheer crotch dresses and no heavily exposed cleavage.
What I've noticed is that baddie culture used to be about Independence and self preservation.
It was supposed to be about confidence and not being fit into a mold. Being unordinary or "bad" in the terms of society. It used to be something that uplifted women....
But when baddie culture started to become attractive and perfered to some people, majority men, all of a sudden being a baddie was no longer a movement but a way to be found attractive by men. It was no longer about those qualities but all looks and show.
And I aint blaming men because anybody with two sides of a brain cam see that time and time again a lot of things meant to uplift women became soley to look attractive when men started to find it attractive and pursue it. When baddie culture runs out of trend it will be something new that women will flock to to be found attractive.
It isn't baddie culture that's poisoning us, its the millennium old desire to be found attractive.
Women used to bleach their skin with toxic chemicals despite that it was literally killing them to be found attractive. But stopped when being natural and or tan was found attractive. When baddie culture dies, another toxic one will replace it. You cannot win, no women has ever truly won.
And most women haven't truly looked at a trend and asked "is this attractive to me..? Or do I find it attractive because everyone else does..?"
I might get hate.. but all feelings aside and thinking logically… We will never be “pretty” there is always someone better and even then, even that “better” isnt enough… and will get abandoned for no reason. Men and society like “pretty and the NEW”. Women are wasting time trying to be pretty.. trying to “KEEP” up, when theres actually no such thing. You never were or are going to be, you can be PRETTY, but you will only be NEW for so long.
Let's talk about how artificial and borderline pornographic the images look, and girls think this is how to be beautiful. It's why I appreciate the young lady Black Chyna in that God changed her life and she has stopped with the implants and such. She now has a natural beauty that makes her glow.
I miss the colorful preteen trends of the 2010s. Now there isn't even a 'pre-teen phase' before they start to actually mature.
The fact that non bw were getting fillers to have fuller lips like us and we see our own with already full lips getting them 😭 like we were already the standard and now everyone is looking like an overinflated balloon in the face
Cos we always wanna copy what the white woman is doing 🤷🏽♀️
Any Blk woman that would get a lip filler is proving that she needs YT approval- 'cause she's literally copying the women who are copying her in the first place. Yes, some of us might have naturally thin lips- but most of us really don't to be out here doing lip fillers like that.
It’s so true about feeling like natural hair isn’t good enough after wearing wigs. I wore wigs for years after going through chemo and even when my hair grew back I preferred the wigs. My real hair was so flat and “thin”. My wigs made me look at least 5 years younger and looked so amazing in pictures.. When I stopped wearing them after awhile I stopped hating my natural hair. It really is an addiction. Great video!
That’s so crazy when you stop and think that the majority of this hair comes from India where it was donated in a ceremony before the believers think they will be blessed. There are videos here to the head shaving. It’s crazy.
This is a very important point you have made! Thank you for commenting and sharing your thoughts!
Research Jewish women and wigs and the hair acquired from Russian women. This video is not balanced.
@@nonino1644unlesss you think to look up those people, it’s not easily in your face information
I made a video about hip-hop’s impact on the beauty standards of today. And from my findings, the men perpetuated the “baddie” standard before the Kardashians were even on the scene. Way before Instagram.
How can a man perpetuate a woman! Women did this to keep up with the better-looking women!
@@charlescoreyz4184 it’s called influence..
Men say what they desire (a.k.a a baddie)
Women follow
That simple
Women aren’t following what the next woman do if said woman is not in demand…
Men set the standard of what’s in demand ..
Becasue the end goal is for said woman to be attractive to MEN
It’s not complicated
@@charlescoreyz4184They perpetuated by putting these type of women on a pedestal. You don't see average women in their music video
@@charlescoreyz4184also the patriarchy ever heard of it?? The reason women even look to make these changes in the first place
@@90ejbfrom the late 2010s maybe but back in the day video girls had their own look, different body shape and none of them looked a like. Now it’s different everyone looks the same!
A ministers wife loudly and clearly said on TV that African women's hair was unattractive and undesirable. She insinuated that wigs and extensions were the go to for young women who wanted husbands. Well, she recieved some backlash of course but the message had already been passed.
“You’re not ugly, you’re just poor”
Always wondered why my hairs looked sparse. Hair dysmorphia is real too.
I think Nicki definitely paved the way to this Baddie look culture.
She was pretty influential but I feel like it was a thing before her. Meagan Good, Lauren London, Christina Milian, Destiny’s Child all did the thing back in the day.
Nope! It was Lil Kim....
@@IVYSTARR-i3k who in this era wanted to look like Lil Kim? Nicki paved the lane for the bbl culture, long colorful and animated hair, she also paved the way for the look of all these new female rappers. It’s copy and paste and they all have Nicki’s “shape.”
@@Kaylajustkayla they were all natural. Or at least looked natural. In this modern era everything “Baddie” is artificial.
@@IVYSTARR-i3k okay! To your point you are right. Lil Kim definitely did have the colorful hair. But new age era, the fake body was definitely paved from Nicki, Kim, and so forth.
It’s entirely too much work to constantly maintain an aesthetic.
The wigs, makeup 24/7, lashes, the latest trends, nails done every 2wks, filler, surgery, periodic rounds of lipo, etc.
I think that African AmericanRappers from the 90s such as Lil Kim as well as Video Vixens from early 2000s were the inspirationforthis aesthetic . The kardashians made the non poc interested in trying this look but this look was defs not started by them and I agree with you 100% on that
The kardashians are not "baddies". Besides kim, khloe and kylies bbl which kim and khloe now removed, they dont have any other "baddie aesthetic feature". They dont even dress like "black baddies" and dont act like them either. The kardashians are more like the likes of paris hilton and other wealthy socialites. They fit more in the wealthy socialite aesthetic.
Then again, the black baddie look and the white baddie look are two different things altogether. The black baddie look is like a black female rapper. The white baddie look is like a rich white socialite woman (sort of like the "that girl aesthetic which white women seem to like)
Thank you for commenting and watching!
@@howsie123I don’t think it make a difference. Both over sexualize themselves
@@howsie123this doesn’t take away from the truth of their comment. Back in 2015/16, that family was THE instagram baddies.
I agree somewhat- However I think this is a poor take on the Vdeo Vixen aesthetic because they were so flawless looking. They never looked garish, I don't really remember them wearing wigs- natural blown out hair, relaxed or tracks and sew ins. Really pretty candy coloured make up that made them look sparkly but no drag like contouring. The baddie aesthetic to me, is like a ghetto caricature- like the movie Baps.
I remember when you didn’t want to look fake even if you had a little work done. You were discreet because you wanted to look naturally beautiful. Now it is out in the open and a right of passage to get plastic surgery. 😢
Ppl complained when plastic surgery was kept a secret bc they felt it was setting unrealistic standards but now that ppl are open gen z is getting WAYY more surgery than ever
I've NEVER wore a lace front. I've always been more of a braids kinda girl. But this right here is cray🤦
This was so eye opening… I am working on growing my real hair to new lengths and retiring my ponytails and knotless braids. Ngl it feels weird when the whole world basically is rocking 40 inch bussdowns but at least I’ll have long natural hair in a few months and forever if I keep taking care of it. I’m kind of scared to see what we’ll look like when we’re old 😳
It’s crazy bc when I first heard of it a baddie was simply a woman who could take care of herself and/or stand up for herself
Great video. When I first wore a lace front I knew it wasn’t for me. Lace where? Lace right here! 😂Nor the edges look. I’m good with my leave out especially for natural extensions.
Baddies have been around forever in one way or another...just be yourself and you will be "on fleek" or whatever the kids call it this year.
The "baddie" aesthetic has also had a heavy inffluence on hispanic girls over the past few years as well. Which is why there is now the "copy n paste" look and the label of "big booty latinas". It only stereotypes and objectifies hispanic women. I have literally been told that I don't look mexican or that I'm not mexican enough because people only think hispanic women have this "baddie" look. I don't even like using the word "latina" because now its associated with such an objectified stereotype.
You must be young- I say this 'cause Latinas were heavily objectified as salacious and objectified heavily in the urban Blk community since the late 90's. A good amount of the video vixens of the early 2000's were Latina- look up Gloria Velez, she was one of the biggest of that era along with Melyssa Forde and co.
@@user-dv3kq3rm4h the only thing is, back then the Latina girls didn’t have all of the surgeries outside of a boob job.
I agree with you! I’m from the Caribbean and Florida is super close to us so many of us from The Bahamas are always traveling to Miami / Orlando / Ft. Lauderdale etc! Honestly Miami Is FLOCKED with Hispanic woman that are influenced by baddie culture. I mean almost every woman has a BBL down there literally! Not bashing it but I’m just saying that there is some truth to what you’re saying !
I kinda feel like the term "baddie" is just a newly generalized term for "the current trendy aesthetic for women"
Its always incredibly sexualized
Ok in a brief, a baddie is an illusional (only on social media because I’ve never met none of these ppl in real life) person with insecurities (the need to look a certain way through surgery, make up, nakedness, wigs and all the acrylic nails,etc).
I’m glad I’m not in this category.
I would rather be classy than be a baddie.
I must be broke over here with my locs 😂
Same 😄
No! No one with locs is EVER BROKE! People spend thousands of dollars just to BUY human hair locs! From other black people! We all know the cost that goes into locs and its upkeep! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love locs
I just started my locs and I love em
Me too 😂and I have them down my butt and they are cut they use to be down to my calves so I cut up just above my butt. I even now can fold my hair and wear a Afro wig not lace front when I feel to change to a natural look. The wig is for my extra soul sister look from back in the day but I love love my locs. Let be broke together 😂🥰
Nicki Minaj was sort of the 1st modern day baddie within some of the definitions, then myself lol.. but now a baddie is basically just a basic trans woman, we are in competition with shemen. So, I am partially joking but this life is weird now. We need to go back to being strong and independent woman whom want a strong household. Let’s correct our generational curses and start incorporating some of the things that do work. Like eating healthy, exercising, practicing self love… We will soon see this insecurity recking havoc on our country, fade.

Remember when we had this internet era of like naturalism, body positivity, kindness, and empowerment? Wtf happened??
Its like Tiktok popped off and now everyone is back to where we started and even more extreme. Ive seen people praising EDs, its now normalized to get fake boobs or butts or faces.
I miss that short window of positivity
I live in Las Vegas and was formerly in the modeling industry and the pressure to get work done is insane! Its so normalized here, i literally stopped doing runway and ad work because the pressure is too much and the field is so saturated with women who will do ANYTHING to get to that next level or to get the follows. Some of the routines these models had to maintain their look was tragic. The industry is shifting more and more towards that typical Instagram model face and the fashion world is going to be fashion novafied so soon, just watch!
HAPPY TO SEE A LOT MORE PPL CALLING THIS NON SENSE OUT. SERIOUSLY
I think the video vixens of the 90s( melisa ford) started it and later on the love and hiphop and wags ladies and nowadays its the pinterest and instagram models are the norm!!!
I agree! I have heard a lot about Melisa Ford! Thanks for watching!
Melissa Ford has natural long hair, natural figure and does not wear wear drag queen makeup and is very feminine. These so called baddies have fake baddies, crazy looking eyelashes and nails. They also wear drag queen make. If you take of your skin you don't have to wear to much makeup. They all look the same spandex outfits, drag queen makeup and a wig with a part down the middle. Imagine being so delusional thinking that a wig/hair weave is your hair. Low self esteem
Kylie Jenner had her face and body worked on. I consider a baddie , a independent ,classy, feminine , natural face and body and don’t need a bunch of cake up to be pretty ❤
2:45 Why do they look so mean though, in their pictures? Looks like her mugshot. What, do Baddies have "bad" teeth or something? Why don't they smile?
they all look mean because they’re usually exactly that mean. that kind of lifestyle makes it difficult for you to connect with your self and breed true inner peace and positivity.
Wow this one of the best videos I’ve watched on this topic! Instantly subscribed :)
Thank you sooo much for your feedback! The warmest welcome to Dynamic Touch! Thank you for watching and subscribing!
The baddie subculture reminds me of the twilight zone. Everyone looks alike. There's no uniqueness about anyone anymore. Now all these women have the same lace front,the same slicked down baby hair,the same eyelashes,the same breast implants,the same snatched waist,the same bbl,the same skin tight fashion nova outfit.
I think weaves that dont mimic the womans natural texture do her a disservice!
i blame social media, no one has a mind of their own it seems like. just go around "following" each other....stupid
Beauty trends are so harmful. The thing is, we are all uniquely beautiful without all that crazy mess!
I always thought that baddie was a term a guy used to describe a girl that he liked who checked all the boxes and I guess when women start calling themselves that that’s when all the weave the lashes, the nails, the BBL’s the Hoochie, mama skirts, and clothes all came into effect
Excellent video that you have touched on this subject. Straight facts youve stated. Especially love the take on the last few mins if the video. All of it is deception on every level.
the sponsor was hilarious, ironic, hypocritical, and disheartening
Agreed. I thought it was a joke at first
Hello! Thanks for watching! That commercial is for a product that is part of the Synthetic Hair Project.
Also, this commentary was to point out behaviors surrounding the human hair industry as it pertains to Baddie Culture (Baddie Inspired Wig Culture). It is not addressed to those who do not subscribe to baddie culture. There are many sub-cultures surrounding wigs, their usage, styling, and acceptability. Even within black women spaces, there are many subcultures as well. This video was not to condemn all black women (since we are all vastly different and not a monolith), but to address a specific wig subculture that I personally deem as very toxic (and creates a hyper dependency to something that at its core, is just an accessory).
As to what are some of the other cross-cultural wig practices, cultures, and subcultures of wig wearing? I go back in time to talk about it in my video titled: WIG INFLUENCING Goes INTERNATIONAL!!! | A ONCE in a LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY for Women Across The Globe! (ruclips.net/video/CvAZzsO0BiU/видео.html )

Let's be fr yall India Westbrooks paved the way for current baddie culture, I know some of yall remember the chokehold she had on black Twitter for YEARS
I don’t think it’s just one person who paved the way. However, she’s so young somebody influenced her to be who she is too. I think she did have an influence tho for sure.
i remember her 😭😭😭
not baddies fighting in the wild😂🤣😆
I blame Kimora Lee Simmons for putting '304 Cutoure' on the runway in the first place. 😮 Had everybody looking like off duty strippers.
This is very well written.
I actually love wigs & fake hair cause I looking different from time to time. But I understand for certain people it’s like something to do with their own self image
It’s really unhealthy to wear them so often caus they’re treated with chemicals that are known to cause cancer.
Changing clothes often is one thing but wearing hair texture that isn’t your own so often is giving body dysmorphia.
21:50 This is why wigs like these aren't considered protective style
Honestly young men dont aspire to marry one...they look up to hit it and quit it. That's why they are all baby mamas.....
If they even get a chance with that mediocre bs they call sex
Misa Hilton is the architect of the fashion in hip hop and R&b
Thank you for sharing, I learned something new today!
So i don’t have much of a forehead so am unable to wear wigs and the one time i tried i ended up looking like a tortoise. 🤷🏽♀️
No baddie aesthetic fa me 🤧😩😅
bro my hairline is too extra for lace fronts 😭😭😭
You did an excellent job on this topic.
I stopped wearing lace wigs with glue after I noticed no matter what I try my edges leave with the wig 😢its been 2 yrs & ion plan on getting it again
Great video! Personally I like the colorful wigs on us. It’s the extra silky, long wigs that bother me. But I think the natural hair movement can also be a factor in how we view our hair. A lot of texturism when we wear it as it is or when asking for advice on maintaining. Went back to relaxing my 4C hair. Way Easier to blend with protective styles. Also I wear it out. Just big chopped my hair last fall my hair is almost touching my shoulders. My fro wouldn’t get past that awkward stage (shrinkage) lmao. I stopped caring about labels- my hair is healthy and still super thick.
Nicki Minaj did start the new wave.
Very interesting topic for a video. Nice job.💖
Nowadays baddies aren’t baddies they all try to look the same and they all fail because underneath all of the makeup the fake hair and the bbl is the same girl with the same low confidence that she had before all of the add ons that gave her a false image of herself
Natural hair is beautiful. 💖
Who cares,I'm a bad ........on my own and don't need approval from others, just be your self 💯
❤❤❤

I think baddie culture is rooted in racial ambiguity you were not supposed to look too black or too white, you have to be in a grey area. People were supposed look at you and think wat is she mixed with and you see this by the fact the your most well know baddies are and look racially ambiguous.

imagine looking up the definition of baddie and its picture of you , thats a flex
Anyone remember Taz’s Angels? Thry were some of the OG Instagram baddies.
I’ve been talking to my clients so much about personal style and pricing of styles. People wanting $400 baddie styles but >$200 like maam it can be created in illusion but for health, can we please do a different hair care routine
Also the MTV reality show with Flavor Flave Nicki Minage and Little Kim and Cardi B now the BET Awards.
Personally this was cute to me in my early and mid 20's .....now in my late 20's this is just not it. Could be my personal taste but in any way it is giving "I need validation and attention from another because my attention is not good enough atm".

I'm not familiar with the baddie culture but if I had to choose who started the culture I'd say that it was none other than the OG of colorful wigs and outrageous fashion herself Lil Kim
