(it's obviously matted but) She probably chopped it all off to prove a point, something like it's just hair. I thought the braids looked nice on her but understand the other side of the "argument" some women still face discrimination for wearing protective styles, but the narrative is changing which is a good thing. (Edit - I can clearly see it's matted, pretty sure everyone can. Please stop @ me ty)
I just made that mistake. I took my hair down and I didnt comb through it good enough because i was being lazy and because of that I lost alot of hair when i went to wash it.
WAI WOAH WOAH WOAH!!!!! Are you saying...... Conditioner, then comb, then shampoo?! Is that...... Because if that's what you're telling me, my life has been a lie 🤣🤣🤣
So only black ppl have Afros? Why is that a big deal. I knew a guy growing up who used to have extremely curly hair and he wore it in an Afro and he was white. Stop trying to gatekeep hair texture lord
@@lisafowler16well that's just called a fro. Afro is basically African fro Edit: honestly idrc what you call an afro or what you call a fro. If we all have an idea what the hairstyle is, then just call it what you want. Honestly if a white person or any other race that wasn't black had a fro, I would probably just call it an afro🤷🏾♀️ it's not that big of a deal. It just made sense that afro was short for African fro. Obviously other ppl could have it tho
I'm not against any race doing what they want to their hair. It's theirs! I braided my white niece's hair. BUT, if you look at her videos, her attitude is disgusting! I think that's why she was getting so much hate. And she has a song where she stated she'd hang a black girl from a tree. She deleted that video with a quickness, but you know the internet is forever🤷🏽♀️
I think she was very happy with her braids and showing them on tiktoks but she started receiving all that black lash and that black culture appropriation shit that she just flipped and reacted that way People can't seem to be nice to each other anymore , they have to insert racism, appropriation, gaslighting ,... all these new terms they like to use and slap on anything to make an invalid point valid
@@crystalnait455 You do realize that not every white person being called out for having a racist attitude is some victim. People are quick to make excuses for white people who know that they are doing what they are doing to antagonize black people. We get it, sometimes racism accusations can be erroneous and overboard, but also sometimes people are simply being racist. On every video about this stuff, like literally 99% of them, there are bunch of people saying that black people are just too sensitive, you'd think there were absolutely no racist people in existence based on this reaction, but racism is hella common, and for a lot of people they think it's funny and edgy to say anti-black things. There are millions of those kinds of people, yet every time they are exposed there are people defending them. Stop.
@@crystalnait455you said people can’t seem to be nice to people anymore as if white people are not racist against blacks? People were never nice, Cut it out!😂
She was literally being racist asf in her videos like did anybody actually WATCH. And this is exactly why we say the things we say not that it changes anything. This is a prime example of why telling black people to “educate” y’all on our culture is the goofiest shit ever. Y’all ignore the most blaring red flags of racism and give these people so much grace but let a black person do anything and y’all are down their throat 🙄. She’s patting her head saying “do you like my natural afro clearly fully taunting comments that were accusing her of cultural appropriation. The fact that that is her response shows exactly why she would get braids like these and unironically, it’s always the same kind of yt girl getting braids. The same yt girls who will jump at the chance to say some racist shit. She wore them on purpose to garner empathy towards herself. She knew what she was doing and so do the majority of y’all.
Yes the. Like skinned girl is. Very. Nice meek. N understanding. Hope. They. Don't. Be offended. That. Baby. Girl. Is. Simply. Begging for. Human. Understanding.
Yes, if she had combed it before she jumped on the shower, she 100% would have saved it. She could have saved it anyway by putting conditioner in her hair in the shower, and pulling gently on the ends of her hair to kind of pull the knots out from underneath, if that makes sense. I've had long hair all my life. There's a way to get out ALL knots without a lot of damage. Lol
Wanna get braids? Go for it! But If it ends up damaging your hair that's a consequence of ur own actions. Make sure you at least know how to take care of them before committing to get them. And I also think it's cool you are explaining what she did to us and trying to help instead of bashing her! ❤
Yeah I agree. Make sure you know how to take care of them. Regardless of your racial classification. Because there's a lot of black women that don't even know how to care of them.
I'm a white girl w/long hair. I got my hair braided in the Bahamas. I have a new found respect for Black girls! Felt like I was being carried around by my hair! The pain!
@@ana.liecee it was more from my hair being pulled so tight. I've always had thick long hair that my mom would use a metal comb to comb every day before school so I have a tough scalp. Literally felt like I was being carried around by my ponytail. All eased on the 3rd day...after sufficient tequila and elevation lol
My cousin used to braid my hair +cornrows* when I was younger, she's black and I'm white and I knew nothing other than it hurt like a bish and it took forever. Also, I could shake my head and make beats with the beads.

Regardless of your opinion on white people using these Hairstyles, to threaten to LYNCH Black Women is a wild thing to overlook and dismiss. She got these braids to provoke people, not because she liked them but to stir drama.
Just curious but y is it offensive for other races to use braids?like I’m Mexican but I don’t rlly understand a problem with it not trying to hate or anything just a question
@Brightstr0210 I'm sayin that if a white person can't have an afro then how can a black lady have straight hair.... I'm asking if she goes over to black ladies and tells them their straight hair ain't natural Just wondering is she stupid or a hypocrite
I feel like because she dating a black boy she is not living in reality and think she is black. This is good for her , keep trying you might get it right, but I doubt it
Her comment at the end about natural Afro i grew it myself told me everything I needed to know. This isn’t about how many women of color in other countries have braids, of course they do… it’s about girl like her making a joke of it all, feeling superior to the group she’s mocking and ultimately knowing she’ll never get in trouble for it. ❤
@nicholasmaielli3806 wasn't a joke her entire video was her making fun of black women. Then when the black women told her how her hair wasn't going to be ok with the braids bc she don't take care of it right she got mad. But look who's hair fell out. She should've listened
exFUCKINGactly! It has nothing to do with her hair texture being different. It's cos sis just didn't do it right. This same exact shit happens on black hair too if it isn't detangled properly.
She shouldve asked questions when getting that hair do. I always ask about "after care" for any hairdos i go and get, and ask what to expect with it.❤ She was beautiful both before and after braids though. She rocked that off set hair cut.❤
Controversy like this is so unheard of where I come from in Italy. We have a huge influx of African immigrants, and a big source of income for a lot of African women is walking the beaches or setting up chairs in the streets and selling their hair styling talents. You see little girls from all over the world, young women, flocking to get their hair done by these beautiful, talented ladies. It goes beyond selling a service, there's a connection there like none other.
@@CRAZyLittleMeMeHow is that "problematic"? Are you gonna dictate what they choose to do to earn money in a decent manner??? I would LOVE to see you say that in their FACE, now that would be very eye-opening for you. Foh Edit: typo
This! I grew up with this back in San Diego, so when folks started freaking out over it years later my jaw was just on the floor because it's something I'd just grown up thinking was normal.
Particularly when you get braids, you want to make sure you detangle right after with conditioner. Anyone can have braids but your hair care routine after the braids & before the braids definitely matter.
Yeah, she doesn’t know when to stop, I really don’t think people wouldnt of had an issue with her hair if she actually had content and a better attitude. She has no real content and made her terribly done braids content along with antagonizing blk women.
And what were those women saying to her? Not condoning her saying that, however, If you threaten to bash and stab someone because of their hair, then...💁♀️ if the shoe fits.
Exactly! I'm sure you've untangled way worse than that as well. My niece didn't comb her hair for over 2 months once. My sister in law brought her over to my house and explained that not only did she not comb her hair for over 2 months, she washed it the way it was. (Up in a messy bun with several pony trail holders wrapped around it.) Mind you, she is half Hawaiian and has very long (below her butt), thick, curly hula hair. I grabbed my conditioners to make my extra strength conditioner concoction and my combs that I use to detangle. She starts whining because I guess her Mom tried to get it out for over an hour. SMH, she should have just come to me to begin with. Well it only took me about half an hour to get it out. No pain or yanking or pulling. She was so happy. So I decided to call her Mom at work and mess with her. Lmao 😂 I told her Mom that it was too bad and that I wasn't able to get the knots out and that I had used my last resort and cut it out. Well in her family, having the hula hair is a must. Their Papa pays them $200 a year to not cut their hair. This being said, my sister in law freaked out! She started screaming and cussing me out. I could tell she wanted to strangle me. 😂😂😂 I told her I was just messing with her and got screamed at again. 😂😂 I was told not to ever joke like that. That I had given her a heart attack and she was freaking out because she didn't know how she was going to tell her family. Then I got to give her a hard time because I was able to get it all out in no time and she had been to cosmetology school twice and still couldn't figure it out. Good memories! 😂😂😂
@@PrePre_She didn't think her hair was that serious which is why she was happy to cut it. Some people are upset abt chopping her hair, others don't care because it grows back. Ofc it could have been fixed but maybe she wanted to prove a point that it isn't that deep?
@@hajera4019 I never mind cutting off my hair either, but it's simple knowing how to care for your hair. Straight hair is more prone to getting tangled and matted, and if she KNEW wat to do after taking them out, she wouldn't have had a problem.
I do this when taking out cornrows cause my cornrows always mat up when I loosen them. Now I just use the coke and detangle the cornrow as I’m undoing it
@@milkinbruhthat’s like telling black people that being blonde isn’t meant for their hair, or that they can’t French braid or Dutch braid, they can only box braid. I knew a naturally redhead black girl while in the navy who was constantly getting told to dye her hair a natural color, but that WAS her natural color. Racism in either direction is harmful
Africans used CORN ROW braiding for centuries. There was actually a function behind it. There are also black people with natural blond hair. I personally don't care about who wears their hair in whatever fashion. The girl in the video imo was being provocative and racist for saying she would lynch black women.
She didn’t know, it’s not that she forgot. She didn’t know to comb her hair out. She was talking mess and trying to participate in something she doesn’t know anything about. And if she had black girl friends they would’ve told her to comb her hair out. Her bad. It’s just hair though and she white. It’ll grow back fast.

"Do you guys like my natural afro? I grew it myself" With a statement that ignorant and low key disrespectful, I can appreciate the irony of her karma.
@elizabethgarland4243 Every group of people you just mentioned, understood and respected theirs enough to know how to manage it. A little bit of research on her own people would have shown her that Maybe she should detangle before she showers with month old hair.
@@Ayoutubeview12The didn’t and to be clear we all know that black hair naturally locs and is still healthy. Yes your disgusting cave dwelling ancestors hair became matted when they didn’t shower or groom themselves. Which is why Europe was a backwards Neanderthal playground while my ancestors were building universities in Timbuktu.
Here’s the thing if she wants braids wear them. Live your life sweetie do what makes you happy. I would’ve taken them down period. Never let anyone control you or give them power. ❤
But it also becomes a problem when they start mocking black women stereotypes ,, like she did in the video with the patting her head and saying she has an “natural Afro”
I’m white and my Nigerian church auntie is about to do my braids in a week or so. My mum used to spend 14 hours braiding my hair cause it was just so uncomfortable and unmanageable the curls and the frizz. My auntie makes me hair products and is teaching me how to care for it cause no one in my family knows how to care for curls. She said the braiding it will help manage and protect it while we are fixing an issue I’m having with it and it will keep it safe during the cold fall and winter seasons we have where I live- it will also help me manage it with my disabilities because the cold and damp really mess up my body because of my conditions. Most of all I’m looking forward to spending the time with her and bonding with her and getting to know her more.
I'm Caucasian and I got a weave and it made my hair wayy healthier and stronger once I took it out. And I have FINE hair. The ladies at the salon did an amazing job and added textured hair while braiding and really educated me on how to take care of it. It looked like my natural hair and it was my favorite hair and salon trip that I've ever had! Like sometimes keep things to yourself and respect others if you know it's controversial online. She MADE it disrespectful by her behavior and actions when she had a good opportunity to educate people and respect others cultures!
If your hair was done up like this, it isn't "weave." That term is usually reserved for when you get your hair cornrowed down and the fake hair is woven into those rows with thread. There are different terms for hairstyles such as extensions, braids, weaves, wigs, and perms (which aren't really perms, but we call it that anyway?) Anyways, happy learning.
That’s why I immediately went to an African hair salon when I realised I couldn’t handle all the knots. They combed it all out and my hair was fine ❤ the ladies there were also really sweet
As a low porosity coarse curly haired woman in a family of straight hair, it was videos from black women on RUclips that helped me manage my hair. There was a black family that braided the top of my head when i was a kid a couple of summers, probably the best my hair ever looked during the summer as a kid because they felt bad about my hair 😂 my hair was constantly a "rat nest" as my mother put it and would often mat up. Hair types matter!
❤ YES! Your hair type was meant for these styles. It has nothing to do with being black or of other Ethnicity. I know someone will comment saying you're trying to be something you're not whilst others with some sense would see like damn.. Poor Thang needed it 😅😂❤
@@quoya2811I doubt anyone disagrees with you. Your comment was very well worded. I do disagree with anyone who gatekeeps hair styles though... those people are cringe and foolish.
Thank you for trying to explain to her (and us) what she did wrong instead of berating her as others did. I never thought about the fact that you lose hair daily and it is forced to stay in the braids until taken down.
Her braids are beautiful. That's why I like our Jamaican culture. No matter what your race is if you are a Jamaican you are just a Jamaican. You wear anything from any of our collective cultures. Our motto is: Out of many we are one.
As long as she aint claiming em and calling me the n word while taunting me, that's all well and good. And that's what she was doing. Whether it was for views or fun or whatever, she was offensive, period. Now, yawl wanna overlook it cool, but the ones who seen her for what she was didn't find it cute. Nobody gave af about her wearing them, but when she tried to "own" them while downing the ones who wear them, she crossed a line. Black folks never cease to amaze me with not recognizing the disrespect when it's all in your face lol! But whatever. I gave up on us a long time ago and just look out for me, myself and I. Smh.
I feel like Jamaicans have their own country while African Americans have to live in a country where racist people cherry pick from our culture and are celebrated for it while we are seen as dirty and unprofessional. It’s not the same thing.
💯 I love dreadlocks and I’ve always wanted them, and the biggest support I get is from Jamaicans. The only people that care are stuck up white people. Just let people live, life is too short and there are better ways to go about things. Blending culture is what will save the world!!! ❤
i hope ppl in the comments can CUT THIS BS abt this girl having good intentions, or thanking OP for explaining what she did wrong calmly. The girl did this to mock black people cut and dry. She did her makeup differently to look much darker ONLY when she was wearing the braids , put on long nails ONLY when she had them braids in and did the aggressive head pat stereotype while LAUGHING. Patting your head is normal if you have in cornrows, feed-ins, loc styles, or wigs with long nails, but its almost never to that extent. Furthermore, that trope is so common when trying to mock or satirize ghetto ppl, you can probably find it in at least 3 shane dawson videos from back in the day💀 And to the ppl saying her lil "natural afro" comment at the end wasnt malicious need to go finish MIDDLE SCHOOL first bc you know damn well thats not what she meant. The term "natural hair" is synonymous to the hair of people within the african diaspora. Have you EVERR heard a white person refer to their hair as an afro? The term Afro was MADE for black people to rebel against the pressure to hide their natural hair behind relaxers, wigs, etc, something thats not an issue if you grew up 100% WHITE. She's obviously doing this to make black people mad, but yall wanna give her chance and chance AGAIN without ever learning why black people are upset. If she truly was respectful, or wanted to wear it bc it looked cool, this whole mess wouldnt have happened bc she couldve GOOGLED IT. It is 2023 im TIRED of yall acting like you cant read an article for 5 minutes to save your life. Its not hard for white people to learn about the risks of dying your hair for the first time or side effects for getting a perm, so why can yall do it for hairstyle thats obviously COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from what you're used to? ONE google search couldve told her how to how to properly take care of her hair. ONE google search couldve told her how to take the braids down for straight hair properly. Another google search couldve told her how to detangle matted hair at home without having to cut it, but she couldnt be bothered. She didn't even have to read actually because of RUclips. She even had so many tiktoks of black ppl, in comments and duets, TRYING to educate her or at least warn her on what can happen if u dont take care for it properly, but she didn't want to listen. Black people have spent time and time again trying to explain to others not only this but the systemic racism still VERY PRESENT, but we are just seen as being "too aggressive" or "bullying". We are TIRED. But yall still want us to tell you in a tiktok all nicely and "respectable" when u STILL just assume that black people's concerns are just soooo irrational and dumfounded, but want to give the white girl whos clearly mocking people with NO REMORSE the benefit of the doubt. At the end of the day I don't care if you want to be blissfully ignorant about Black issues. But don't expect us to suck up to nonblack peple and hand-feed you the summaries if you're not even willing to step out your bubble of ignorance to learn.

Yeah I’m a black woman and I learned the hard way. I didn’t know I was supposed to comb out my hair first… I washed my hair and thought I was gonna have to shave my head… patience and determination is what got them knots out. 😂😂 it can happen to anybody. Just learn by asking questions before you go out and do stuff.
I'm sorry but what does the race of her boyfriend have anything to do with it ??? You do realize some people actually like braids but we aren't allowed to wear them bc "they belong to you" when there are plenty of races and other cultures that have braids and are not black . You never hear white woman saying of course she act like that she got a white man we don't even care what y'all dating or doing with white men😂😂😂😂😂 thats honesty the most dumbest thing to say if we are honest
@@brittanyhodge5318Her having a black boyfriend has alot to do with the way she was acting when people were commenting and her attitude towards black women. Don't be dense. Not every white women who dates black men act like she does but the women who act like she does always dates black men. Dating black men give her the comfort to act the way she does, and she pulled a "my son is black" is justify her ignorant actions. Be for real.
That's exactly what I said. She looked really cute in those braids she just needed to detangle afterwards and wash it the right way. A lot of people agitate and tangle the hair when they wash it, which cause them to have a matted mess. You have to have patience or someone to help you. It'll grow, back though. ❤
Although you are 2000% correct, she got what she deserved. She was being disrespectful and trying to taunt blk woman so this happened. If you want to wear braids do so but it's not what you do bout how you do it. When I was younger I braided several non-blk women hair and they never were disrespectful about it and neither was I.
How was she taunting black people. And when did braids originate from a black country? They are so ancient that we don’t where they started from but it was most likely the Middle East.
@@diamondsparkle9967she’s not making fun her hair looks beautiful she’s prob mad she’s being told by everyone it’s appropriating to which I’d not give a fuck cause in the real world people gonna mind their business they just jealous she’s beautiful
She did this on purpose to get a reaction. I’m not gonna feel bad for her. She immediately turned to racism and threatened to lynch the black women that called her out… that says a lot. It also says a lot that ppl are making excuses for her literally threatening to HATE CRIME black women all bc she got some hate comments that SHE asked for when she decided to try and play games. The fact that she immediately resorted to blatant racism the minute she was called out shows you exactly what her intentions were for getting those braids and showing them off online… but the morons defending her don’t see that bc they’re too busy tap dancing for Becky.
I think a lot of people are missing this very important point. Regardless of your opinion on white people using these Hairstyles, to threaten to LYNCH Black Women is a wild thing to overlook and dismiss. She got these braids to provoke people, not because she liked them but to stir drama.
she’s a piece of shit person, that’s for sure, and she’s surely doing it all for clout. that being said, america is quite literally one of the only places where people are mad about non-black women getting braids.
You can’t really add Hispanics in there girl cuz obviously you’ve never heard of Afro latinas or anyone from the carribiean. Maybe ur talking about Mexicans because they usually all have straight bair but us Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Haitians, and all the carribiean Spanish islands have been doing it just as long as u and haven’t had issues because we have the right hair type. It really doesn’t have to do with race at all it’s just hair types. I’ve seen white girls with curly hair that could probably support it, it’s like mixed girls hair. Soooo
She has every right to wear any braids. My only concern is her hair. These braids are ideal for different textured hair. She could have done it but probably should have done more research to not mat up her hair
Why would she a know how from a “sister” but in the first part of your statement you said yt women wearing braids is normal? If it’s normal she would know how to take care of her afterwards. That’s not BW problem.
We know what happened. She didn’t educate herself. She assumed that she knew what she was doing and the backlash was due to hating on her but in reality it wasn’t. 🤷🏾♀️
Meanwhile Black women are constantly being told their braids aren't correct for professional settings...and laws have been put in place so that they aren't discriminated against. This girl antagonized black women...she could have rocked her braids and STFU about it. Karma got her ass.
As someone who is biracial (black and white), I was always scared to do box braids bc I look white but I have 4C hair (an Afro). Honestly, I always straighten my hair bc I thought I’d looked better as a “white person” than someone who you can’t tell what race they are. After YEARS of keeping my hair straight, I finally started doing hairstyles with my natural hair and I fell more in love with my fluffy beautiful hair. About 5-6 months ago I wanted to try something new, I RUclipsd some vids and later went to the hair store. I did box braids, for the 1st time. They were bad now looking at it but I do them a lot now and they look beautiful. ofc at fist I got looks from people who didn’t know I was mixed but I loved expressing my new look and my culture (black culture). Safe to ask, how could an actual white person be able to walk out the house like that? Feel free to do whatever you want but it’s a lil confusing yk?
Sorry if I sound creepy for looking on your channel but I saw some of your videos and first of all you look great in those braids, and second of all, you definitely don’t look straight up white. Even if your hair texture isn’t showing the facial features I think give it away, and I’m pretty sure most POC would be able to tell you’re not white. As a light white passing ethnically mixed person I have done braids before but nobody has ever told me I shouldn’t or that I’m too white, I think it honestly has a lot to do with hair too I mean, you have 4c hair, “black” or not it seems you’d have every right to braid your hair as braids are a protective style and also help maintaining hair that’s otherwise very time consuming to be doing all the time. You look good in the braids and keep doing natural hair styles, I’m glad you’ve gotten away from the straightener your hair is coily and that’s how it’s supposed to be and it’s awesome
I have the same problem, white skin but my hair is 4C as well. I have straighted my hair for 15 years, im 27 now and im growing out my natural hair while wearing braids. I often thought i looked too white for braids or my natural hair but we are who we are. I had people on instagram who commented that i don't look pure white at all, so it might just be us thinking we do.

@@WarmongerYTsometimes it because of the attitude of the people wearing the braids. There’s a fine line between appropriation and appreciation, and lots of people miss the mark. Also, please keep in mind not all braids are the same. The cultures you mentioned that braid their hair don’t do it the same as us. Each braid literally serves a different purpose. Ours are protective and meant for courser hair types, while others may be protective but for only certain hair types; though a lot of times those cultures include braids in them more for stylistic reason, as opposed to us black people who were and sometimes still are told that our natural hair is unprofessional. While we acknowledge that wigs are a common thing for black women, can we also acknowledge why they are so common? And please don’t say that things have “changed,” because even still in 2024 I’ve had people tell me my hair wasn’t professional enough and ask me how I was gonna style it. If we are gonna speak on a topic, we must acknowledge both sides. I’m not going to cherry pick here, and I hope you don’t either. (Also, this isn’t meant to be rude, just stating the facts that I know and replying in a respectful manner.)

As a white swedish girl i actually went and got braids when i was about 16 or 17 and many black women and girls actually looked at me alot and said they were pretty, it was super long ago but i loved them. I was very into bob marley and stuff back then haha.
So cool, most women of color will give you compliments and some will not. So happy you receive good vibes wearing the style I’m sure you looked beautiful
There’s a reason white girls don’t get those type of braids tho… this was a prime example. Certain hairstyles aren’t just not meant for certain hair types… she has thin white straight hair and mixed it with braiding hair which is naturally kinky… a recipe for disaster fr. and that’s no hate
@@Shiann444 definitely true in her case, but there are white people out there with hair textures that would work with braids. whether that’s ok though comes down to how we think about racial injustice in america
Exactly. Why do some white (or any nonblack) girls who have a black man always trying to get the braids? 😂🙄 Sorry but people can see right thru that ish
@@scorpianna420 Ngl it kinda reminds me of a few of my nonblack exes who would ask "do i get the pass for having a black gf" (yes, I was in high & middle school😂). For nonblack women, I think its some sort of culture fetish, for the nb men I hope it was just a joke💀
Agreed because the same shyt happens to our hair right after taking braids out! You MUST DETANGLE YOUR HAIR IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING BRAIDS OUT! If you don’t and go straight to shampooing your shyt will instantly lock up!
@@catiemyers3429it’s not about being afraid to mess things up. People were trying to give her advice and she was being racist and disrespectful to them. It’s fine if you wanna try something new but it’s different if don’t know what you’re doing and don’t except the help people are trying to give you
I try to keep my mind open enough to comprehend younger generations. My dearest friends are 15-20 years younger than me. I do not get the braided hair issue at all because when I was 13 I had a sleepover birthday party. Some of the girls were black and they asked if we could all do each other's hair. Of course the request was met with an enthusiastic yes! It was actually a lot of fun. Dana braided my hair. I didn't keep it that way long because I don't have the face for that style. The experience however was a bonding experiencing. Girls being girls and "prettying" each other up. Here in 2023, WTF happened to that kind of connectedness???
I think what happened is that those girls grew up and were discriminated due to those hairstyles. There are lawsuits currently due to blk women being discriminated against due to those hairstyles. Reality happened.
That's because kids have to be taught to hate. When you see someone as basically the same as you you don't have to draw any useless lines and excluding people and telling people they have to stay in their box and can only take part in things that are in their box. People no longer want unity. They want control.
She looks beautiful with the braids. She shoulda schooled herself before doing them. Who cares who does what with their hair. There’s so many bad things happening in this world right now. Love one another ❤
This is why it’s so important to know what your doing, and not just wanting to do something for the sake of it. It’s the clear lack of respect she has when doing so.
Oh please, she doesn't have to be respectful of anything 😂 Since when are black women expected to be respectful when wearing blonde wigs? It's just hair and people were shitting on her and making racist taunts towards her, so she threw it back in their face. She doesn't need to respect anyone who disrespects her and is racist towards her. Lord have mercy...
@@tisbutascratch2045you so fckin dum🌚 the girl is an actual racist for your info also you do have to be respectful why tf would you be rude to someone or a culture for no absolute reason also black ppl wearing a blonde colored wig is not cultural boo so you can’t compare the 2 last time I checked a hairstyle CANT be “just a hairstyle” when the creation was to escape ppl beating tf out of you, that don’t seem like a normal ass ponytail to me?
@@tisbutascratch2045 Yes people were being rude to her, and she was receiving hate from a lot of people(not just black people), but some of the comments she responded to from black women were the ones where they were trying to tell her how it could be damaging for her hair/how to take care of them. She was rude and saying disrespectful/racist remarks to them and then said it was okay because her children were mixed. I’m black, I could care less who wears braids but it becomes a problem when you try to perpetuate a racial stereotype because you have them, or you don’t bother to learn why certain hair types(I.e. non curly/textured hair) typically can’t handle the style. Commenters spreading hate we’re definitely in the wrong, but the things she said were out of line especially since her kids are mixed.
@@jellysandals2296bingo!!! This is why it’ll never be ok to me for any none black women to COSPLAY our culture. Because they have ZERO respect and are rats waiting to steal, discredit, and discredit and I feel so sad for her children.
It wasn’t the braids only noticed she had to do the Kylie Jenner 3 shades darker makeup too. These women know what they’re doing. Don’t give me that Viking shit her man is black she was going for this “aesthetic”.
Her braids were beautiful 😢🥰 and you are right she did not condition her hair correctly after taking them out. I think she cut it out of frustration w the comment section because w patience it could have been saved.
And who cares! She trolled black women, made songs about hanging black women- all because some black man is giving her dick. I guess she doesn’t know, as many of you don’t seem to know- black men give everybody dick. Period.
It doesn't matter, what your color is. If to u want to wear what you want...go for it Life is to short for this. I've got black family members, & friends with blond hair. No one says anything. Let her be her.❤
i appreciate you not banging on her simply because she was white with that hairstyle. its nice to see people not only be respectful, but try their best to help out and explain why it didn’t work. also, the proper term to describe her hair would be “fro.” the reason people got offended with “afro” was because it stands for african-fro, which she does not have. i wouldn’t put her on full blast for that, but y’now, i don’t know the full story and whether or not this was intentional.
Well the chick is only receiving the same energy she put out..... she was ugly to others first which is why she got such a negative response...so you lack looking at the entire situation...while your un der the impression that "she is a damsel in distress" 😏
@@TheVeryBlesseda lot of people(most of the time not blacks) have a huge problem with people doing something that comes from another culture because "It's not yours"
*It's the antagonizing BW for me. It's the mockery of BW for me.

@@Mikethetwilight1234bro she literally said in one of her videos she was Ganna Lynch a black woman. So shut the f up and sit down because we know what we are talking about. This is why we don't let white people take out culture
that "you guys like my natural Afro" was just..... people might be a bit more accepting of white women getting box braids if the ones that got them could act right about it
Yeah. I have straight hair and used to do box braids all the time, and never had a problem. I feel like because everyone was ‘warning’ her, she probably panicked and thought her hair was ruined when it wasn’t. Thanks for looking at it logically ♥︎
We keep telling them isn’t about gatekeeping a style, it’s literally damaging to their hair. The same way white men shouldn’t wear ball caps cause it rubs the hair from the follicles. Not only do we have different textured hair, we have completely different follicles from them, so our hair responds differently in general to certain styles. No one has had more trial and errors with hair than us 😅 so we be knowing.
That’s totally fair. I’m chronically online though and the last 5-7 years I’ve seen more people bring up appropriation than the stance you’re talking bout. But maybe that’s just my personal experience
@@Ash_Queen16 sure..it’s just mangled to the point she chopped it off. You should look up the definition of damaged hair since you clearly need clarity on what it’s considered.
@@cosodesign8953 I personally don’t care about anyone getting braids or fros. I love Bob Ross and it’d be dumb of me to have selective outrage, but I do understand the upset. I’ve personally been victimized by schools and jobs for my natural or protective styles while non black people in those same spaces could have every color, style, spike, etc and get away with it. If non black people helped us to fight discriminatory hair policies they’d possibly get a better reaction to wearing them, but instead everyone turns a blind eye to it, call us liars and in the same breathe saying they wear our styles out of appreciation for the culture. That’s not what it’s giving. Only 17 out of 50 states have enacted The Crown Act. It was short lived in the news and all anyone can say to us is well you wear straight hair and wigs, when the reason the Crown Act was necessary is because for decades we had to.
@@duchessofthedorks Lmao all she needed to do was to comb it out 😂 That’s what other people are saying as well. Sounds like you’re just bitter that a White person is wearing braids.
I like that you gave advice on how to take care of your hair if this is something you decide to do. I think being able to enjoy different cultures is fun and a great experience of being able to understand them. I personally wouldn't look good with those braids cause I'm so blonde I barely look like I have eyebrows or lashes😂. But this young lady looked stunning with those braids. It's a shame she didnt know how to care for her hair properly after removing the braids.
I think she looks good too. That’s not my issue tho. I have no opinion on braids and racism and all that stuff, nor am I black or white but it bothers me because I can just feel the itch. I have middle eastern thick hair but even my hair would be going through it. To care for medium thickness hair or even just regular thick hair that way can be really putting a lot of stress on the scalp and it can weaken the hair strands like crazy because our hair can’t handle as much tension. It just hurts me to see beautiful girls do this stuff without understanding that it’s not just a race thing you also have to think about the health of your hair.
omg so this happen to me. When I took out my hair had it loose for 2 days brushed as soon as I washed it, it clumped the same way spent three days trying to get it out even my husband tried to help. I was 😢 in the shower using leave in conditioner. I was not sure if it was the shampoo that I used but it was a devastating experience. Then sucked it up and had to cut my hair in a pixie cut . it was 2 days before xmas. Good thing hair grows back. I’m glad I came across this for the comments. I will certainly be deep conditioning it before the wash. Always learning
She just didn’t detangle her hair properly. That’s why it turned out the way it did. Also, she wasn’t patient with her hair when it did tangle. Her hair wasn’t ruined, but I understand the frustration when your hair just stops cooperating. She cut her hair and it grew back lol so she was good 😂😂😂
Why are you taking the time to explain and understand the actions of someone who isn’t concerned at all about understanding you? Y’all weird ass black women are embarrassing as hell. Learn self love and stop being a pick me.
All she had to do was douse her hair w some super duper good conditioner and let it sit an hour Racing to get braids but don’t have the common sense to know how to detangle This wanna be “sista girl” is simple Plain and simple
I’m a hairdresser and I absolutely love to see braiding of any kind. When I was a little girl I asked my dad for box braids because one of my friends in school had the prettiest braids and he told me that it wasn’t for my hair type. As a hairdresser now I can confidently say he wasn’t really wrong. Its not that braids aren’t gorgeous on anyone or that only one culture or ethnicity should be able to wear braids. However straighter hair does tend to break with the tighter braids and they aren’t as likely to stay. People with straighter hair produce more natural hair oils which makes the longevity of the hairstyles not last and if you’re getting the service professionally done it can be expensive and in some cases not really worth it (depending on the reason you are getting the braids of course do whatever you’d like braids are gorgeous)
Braids look beautiful on black women, but just from what I’ve seen and my opinion I think black women need to be told and reminded that their natural hair is beautiful, and it’s more then fine to wear. I know my cousins that are black felt that it wasn’t “acceptable” or as beautiful to wear their hair natural. Which is so beyond f*cked up. I don’t want to speak for everyone but I wonder if that’s how others have felt. You can’t deny the beauty that comes from a black womens hair, radiant as hell skin, and lucious lips, so gorgeous!! And I’m over here with my 5 shades of pale ass skin haha. 😂
okay she's not even trying to take care of her braids, IF IT'S MATTED. my hair is wavy and following black content creators has helped me so, so much. my hair is extremely low porosity and i was using the heaviest products which weighed my hair down. curlelia, power in your curl and so naturally gwen saved my dead hair's life! 😭😭 i got the right products, stopped scrunching as all the product would immediately come out, followed their low porosity routine and my hair actually started absorbing the products, got myself a satin bonnet and a satin pillowcase. i've never had anyone to teach me how to take care of my body, hair, hygiene, and black women have literally taught me everything through yt videos! also, i've come across so many white curly-haired girlies getting braids and the comments are always so positive & supportive! i bet her comments were asking her to learn how to take care of her hair and not let it get MATTED, and she knows how many views & attention she could get by just saying that everyone's accusing her of blackfishing. ripping the braids out while looking at the camera aggressively is ridiculous and so funny?? she can't be serious please😭😭
I truly don’t see the big deal. I don’t know about the situation and how she acted but if they wanna wear braids that’s on them. Especially if she got it done by a black woman supporting her business. She looked cute, I feel like she should have watched a RUclips video on out to take down braids and detangle.
I'm white af. That's just my skin. My ancestry is likely mixed, being Italian/Sicilian and all. My nautral hair is curly, frizzy. And when I say fizzy i mean.. it's like fairy floss when brushed out or when it's humid and i havent put any leave in creams in. Braids would save me time and money, yet I'd get accused of being racist just because of my skin? So i can't do them. I can't take care of my hair the way it probably needs because of my skin? Isn't that also racism? Nah. I'm fkn fed up. Don't bother commenting on my pic. That's not my natural hair. Thays half chemically straightened. I have to treat my hair like a white person, because of society. I've destroyed my hair doin that. Maybe black people should embrace people interested in their style. Especially if we actually have curly frizzy hair, some of us need help, white or not. I was born this way, yet i can't maintian my hair in certain ways because of my skin? Now that's racist. ugh. Yes I'm on a rant. All best.
@@lacil8895 If you allow how others dictate and control your life to where as though you feel you can’t wear a hairstyle based off your skin tone that’s on you. You’re grown, and with that being said, you and YOU ONLY know what’s absolute best for YOUR hair. What we gon do if you get it? Rip it out? 😭 Girl plz! take care of your hair as you see fit , that’s apart of self care. Most black women including myself don’t give a fuck.
Yea that’s exactly why we say they shouldn’t get these braids they to busy trying to clap back at us and justify why they should be able to wear them instead of using that energy to research the damn hairstyle how to take care of it let alone how to take it down😂she was being hella rude racist and mean and karma got her ass she didn’t “forget” to comb them out she just never even KNEW you’re supposed to part ts and detangle before washing. She just didn’t know cause she didn’t research ts before getting it. Which they NEVER do
White ppl r "theys" now... Crazy. Plus white people with braids have been around for a long time. Slovakians, Russians, Medieval vikings, etc. Maybe you should research and realize everyone can wear braids no matter your skin color. You're just saying she cant wear them, "because she's white." You're the defintion of racist.
So you use the terms ‘we’ and ‘they’ like we’re not ALL human beings yet she is the racist one?! You should take a long look in the mirror🙄 The racist here is YOU!
I want braids but I feel like ppl will bully me everywhere I go so I don’t get them but I probably will next summer if I feel confident and comfortable bc I don’t wanna deal with bullying
She didn't forget, she didn't know. Braids require knowledge before, during and after care.
Really cause I does just oil my hair when the braids in and that's it it don't be like that bad or anything dirt build up yh but nothing else
Yes but hair grows back. Mistakes can be learned from and everyone feels about their hair differently then others

@@Hon3y_ateit also depends how long the braids stay in.
She looked really cute with her braids , but all she had to do was detangle her hair after the take down
Facts
(it's obviously matted but) She probably chopped it all off to prove a point, something like it's just hair. I thought the braids looked nice on her but understand the other side of the "argument" some women still face discrimination for wearing protective styles, but the narrative is changing which is a good thing.
(Edit - I can clearly see it's matted, pretty sure everyone can. Please stop @ me ty)
Right, I'm like has she never heard of detangler?
She doesn’t look good at it braids and also her attitude is horrible
No she didn’t 😭
Yes!! Hairstylist here... Never EVER shampoo your hair until you have thoroughly detangled it and never detangle without lots of creamy conditioner
I just made that mistake. I took my hair down and I didnt comb through it good enough because i was being lazy and because of that I lost alot of hair when i went to wash it.
So conditioner detangle then shampoo?? Is my whole life about to change ??

The fact that that is her response shows exactly why she would get braids like these and unironically, it’s always the same kind of yt girl getting braids. The same yt girls who will jump at the chance to say some racist shit. She wore them on purpose to garner empathy towards herself. She knew what she was doing and so do the majority of y’all.

Yes, if she had combed it before she jumped on the shower, she 100% would have saved it. She could have saved it anyway by putting conditioner in her hair in the shower, and pulling gently on the ends of her hair to kind of pull the knots out from underneath, if that makes sense. I've had long hair all my life. There's a way to get out ALL knots without a lot of damage. Lol

Wanna get braids? Go for it! But If it ends up damaging your hair that's a consequence of ur own actions. Make sure you at least know how to take care of them before committing to get them. And I also think it's cool you are explaining what she did to us and trying to help instead of bashing her! ❤

Yeah, she doesn’t know when to stop, I really don’t think people wouldnt of had an issue with her hair if she actually had content and a better attitude. She has no real content and made her terribly done braids content along with antagonizing blk women.
Her bf doesn't seem to mind!
Why is she hanging a black women from a tree?
And what were those women saying to her? Not condoning her saying that, however, If you threaten to bash and stab someone because of their hair, then...💁♀️ if the shoe fits.
@@DeAnne401two wrongs don’t make a right, she basically said she was going to lynch them🥴🥴
As a former hairdresser, that was salvageable.
Exactly! I'm sure you've untangled way worse than that as well. My niece didn't comb her hair for over 2 months once. My sister in law brought her over to my house and explained that not only did she not comb her hair for over 2 months, she washed it the way it was. (Up in a messy bun with several pony trail holders wrapped around it.) Mind you, she is half Hawaiian and has very long (below her butt), thick, curly hula hair. I grabbed my conditioners to make my extra strength conditioner concoction and my combs that I use to detangle. She starts whining because I guess her Mom tried to get it out for over an hour. SMH, she should have just come to me to begin with. Well it only took me about half an hour to get it out. No pain or yanking or pulling. She was so happy. So I decided to call her Mom at work and mess with her. Lmao 😂 I told her Mom that it was too bad and that I wasn't able to get the knots out and that I had used my last resort and cut it out. Well in her family, having the hula hair is a must. Their Papa pays them $200 a year to not cut their hair. This being said, my sister in law freaked out! She started screaming and cussing me out. I could tell she wanted to strangle me. 😂😂😂 I told her I was just messing with her and got screamed at again. 😂😂 I was told not to ever joke like that. That I had given her a heart attack and she was freaking out because she didn't know how she was going to tell her family. Then I got to give her a hard time because I was able to get it all out in no time and she had been to cosmetology school twice and still couldn't figure it out. Good memories! 😂😂😂
She ain't know that. That's the problem! 😅
@@PrePre_She didn't think her hair was that serious which is why she was happy to cut it. Some people are upset abt chopping her hair, others don't care because it grows back. Ofc it could have been fixed but maybe she wanted to prove a point that it isn't that deep?
@@hajera4019 I never mind cutting off my hair either, but it's simple knowing how to care for your hair. Straight hair is more prone to getting tangled and matted, and if she KNEW wat to do after taking them out, she wouldn't have had a problem.
That’s why I comb my hair out after every single braid I take out. You don’t shed as much and it’s easier to wash.

@@milkinbruhthat’s like telling black people that being blonde isn’t meant for their hair, or that they can’t French braid or Dutch braid, they can only box braid. I knew a naturally redhead black girl while in the navy who was constantly getting told to dye her hair a natural color, but that WAS her natural color. Racism in either direction is harmful
Africans used CORN ROW braiding for centuries. There was actually a function behind it. There are also black people with natural blond hair. I personally don't care about who wears their hair in whatever fashion. The girl in the video imo was being provocative and racist for saying she would lynch black women.

"Do you guys like my natural afro? I grew it myself" With a statement that ignorant and low key disrespectful, I can appreciate the irony of her karma.
An afro is kinky matter hair the same as a dread. Vicking has dreads centuries ago. So did the Romans, american indians and other tribes.
@elizabethgarland4243 an afro is not matted hair that's why her hair fell out she and you don't know what yall talking about

The issue was her trying to make fun of black women 🦝🦝🦝
This comment is sooo ironic...
I’m white and my Nigerian church auntie is about to do my braids in a week or so. My mum used to spend 14 hours braiding my hair cause it was just so uncomfortable and unmanageable the curls and the frizz. My auntie makes me hair products and is teaching me how to care for it cause no one in my family knows how to care for curls. She said the braiding it will help manage and protect it while we are fixing an issue I’m having with it and it will keep it safe during the cold fall and winter seasons we have where I live- it will also help me manage it with my disabilities because the cold and damp really mess up my body because of my conditions. Most of all I’m looking forward to spending the time with her and bonding with her and getting to know her more.
I'm Caucasian and I got a weave and it made my hair wayy healthier and stronger once I took it out. And I have FINE hair. The ladies at the salon did an amazing job and added textured hair while braiding and really educated me on how to take care of it. It looked like my natural hair and it was my favorite hair and salon trip that I've ever had! Like sometimes keep things to yourself and respect others if you know it's controversial online. She MADE it disrespectful by her behavior and actions when she had a good opportunity to educate people and respect others cultures!
You're white not caucasian
@@mariogarcia6752not everyone that is Caucasian are White European but Europeans are Caucasian.
There's many Caucasian ppl that wear weave. That's a bit different than braids.
I had hair extensions and absolutely hated them
If your hair was done up like this, it isn't "weave." That term is usually reserved for when you get your hair cornrowed down and the fake hair is woven into those rows with thread. There are different terms for hairstyles such as extensions, braids, weaves, wigs, and perms (which aren't really perms, but we call it that anyway?) Anyways, happy learning.
That’s why I immediately went to an African hair salon when I realised I couldn’t handle all the knots. They combed it all out and my hair was fine ❤ the ladies there were also really sweet
i hope ur hair falls our next time retard
As a low porosity coarse curly haired woman in a family of straight hair, it was videos from black women on RUclips that helped me manage my hair. There was a black family that braided the top of my head when i was a kid a couple of summers, probably the best my hair ever looked during the summer as a kid because they felt bad about my hair 😂 my hair was constantly a "rat nest" as my mother put it and would often mat up. Hair types matter!
❤ YES! Your hair type was meant for these styles. It has nothing to do with being black or of other Ethnicity. I know someone will comment saying you're trying to be something you're not whilst others with some sense would see like damn.. Poor Thang needed it 😅😂❤

Thank you for trying to explain to her (and us) what she did wrong instead of berating her as others did. I never thought about the fact that you lose hair daily and it is forced to stay in the braids until taken down.
Well they berated her cause she was too talking smack lmao
Her braids are beautiful. That's why I like our Jamaican culture. No matter what your race is if you are a Jamaican you are just a Jamaican. You wear anything from any of our collective cultures. Our motto is: Out of many we are one.
👏 preach
As long as she aint claiming em and calling me the n word while taunting me, that's all well and good. And that's what she was doing. Whether it was for views or fun or whatever, she was offensive, period. Now, yawl wanna overlook it cool, but the ones who seen her for what she was didn't find it cute. Nobody gave af about her wearing them, but when she tried to "own" them while downing the ones who wear them, she crossed a line. Black folks never cease to amaze me with not recognizing the disrespect when it's all in your face lol! But whatever. I gave up on us a long time ago and just look out for me, myself and I. Smh.
Please u barely have a Jamaican culture. In 20 years that will be chinas culture.
I feel like Jamaicans have their own country while African Americans have to live in a country where racist people cherry pick from our culture and are celebrated for it while we are seen as dirty and unprofessional. It’s not the same thing.
💯 I love dreadlocks and I’ve always wanted them, and the biggest support I get is from Jamaicans. The only people that care are stuck up white people. Just let people live, life is too short and there are better ways to go about things. Blending culture is what will save the world!!! ❤
i hope ppl in the comments can CUT THIS BS abt this girl having good intentions, or thanking OP for explaining what she did wrong calmly. The girl did this to mock black people cut and dry. She did her makeup differently to look much darker ONLY when she was wearing the braids , put on long nails ONLY when she had them braids in and did the aggressive head pat stereotype while LAUGHING. Patting your head is normal if you have in cornrows, feed-ins, loc styles, or wigs with long nails, but its almost never to that extent. Furthermore, that trope is so common when trying to mock or satirize ghetto ppl, you can probably find it in at least 3 shane dawson videos from back in the day💀
And to the ppl saying her lil "natural afro" comment at the end wasnt malicious need to go finish MIDDLE SCHOOL first bc you know damn well thats not what she meant. The term "natural hair" is synonymous to the hair of people within the african diaspora. Have you EVERR heard a white person refer to their hair as an afro? The term Afro was MADE for black people to rebel against the pressure to hide their natural hair behind relaxers, wigs, etc, something thats not an issue if you grew up 100% WHITE.
She's obviously doing this to make black people mad, but yall wanna give her chance and chance AGAIN without ever learning why black people are upset. If she truly was respectful, or wanted to wear it bc it looked cool, this whole mess wouldnt have happened bc she couldve GOOGLED IT. It is 2023 im TIRED of yall acting like you cant read an article for 5 minutes to save your life. Its not hard for white people to learn about the risks of dying your hair for the first time or side effects for getting a perm, so why can yall do it for hairstyle thats obviously COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from what you're used to? ONE google search couldve told her how to how to properly take care of her hair. ONE google search couldve told her how to take the braids down for straight hair properly. Another google search couldve told her how to detangle matted hair at home without having to cut it, but she couldnt be bothered. She didn't even have to read actually because of RUclips. She even had so many tiktoks of black ppl, in comments and duets, TRYING to educate her or at least warn her on what can happen if u dont take care for it properly, but she didn't want to listen.
Black people have spent time and time again trying to explain to others not only this but the systemic racism still VERY PRESENT, but we are just seen as being "too aggressive" or "bullying". We are TIRED. But yall still want us to tell you in a tiktok all nicely and "respectable" when u STILL just assume that black people's concerns are just soooo irrational and dumfounded, but want to give the white girl whos clearly mocking people with NO REMORSE the benefit of the doubt. At the end of the day I don't care if you want to be blissfully ignorant about Black issues. But don't expect us to suck up to nonblack peple and hand-feed you the summaries if you're not even willing to step out your bubble of ignorance to learn.

That's exactly what I said. She looked really cute in those braids she just needed to detangle afterwards and wash it the right way.

The fact that she immediately resorted to blatant racism the minute she was called out shows you exactly what her intentions were for getting those braids and showing them off online… but the morons defending her don’t see that bc they’re too busy tap dancing for Becky.
I think a lot of people are missing this very important point. Regardless of your opinion on white people using these Hairstyles, to threaten to LYNCH Black Women is a wild thing to overlook and dismiss. She got these braids to provoke people, not because she liked them but to stir drama.

As someone who is biracial (black and white), I was always scared to do box braids bc I look white but I have 4C hair (an Afro). Honestly, I always straighten my hair bc I thought I’d looked better as a “white person” than someone who you can’t tell what race they are. After YEARS of keeping my hair straight, I finally started doing hairstyles with my natural hair and I fell more in love with my fluffy beautiful hair. About 5-6 months ago I wanted to try something new, I RUclipsd some vids and later went to the hair store. I did box braids, for the 1st time. They were bad now looking at it but I do them a lot now and they look beautiful. ofc at fist I got looks from people who didn’t know I was mixed but I loved expressing my new look and my culture (black culture). Safe to ask, how could an actual white person be able to walk out the house like that? Feel free to do whatever you want but it’s a lil confusing yk?
Sorry if I sound creepy for looking on your channel but I saw some of your videos and first of all you look great in those braids, and second of all, you definitely don’t look straight up white. Even if your hair texture isn’t showing the facial features I think give it away, and I’m pretty sure most POC would be able to tell you’re not white. As a light white passing ethnically mixed person I have done braids before but nobody has ever told me I shouldn’t or that I’m too white, I think it honestly has a lot to do with hair too I mean, you have 4c hair, “black” or not it seems you’d have every right to braid your hair as braids are a protective style and also help maintaining hair that’s otherwise very time consuming to be doing all the time. You look good in the braids and keep doing natural hair styles, I’m glad you’ve gotten away from the straightener your hair is coily and that’s how it’s supposed to be and it’s awesome
I have the same problem, white skin but my hair is 4C as well. I have straighted my hair for 15 years, im 27 now and im growing out my natural hair while wearing braids. I often thought i looked too white for braids or my natural hair but we are who we are. I had people on instagram who commented that i don't look pure white at all, so it might just be us thinking we do.

@@WarmongerYTsometimes it because of the attitude of the people wearing the braids. There’s a fine line between appropriation and appreciation, and lots of people miss the mark. Also, please keep in mind not all braids are the same. The cultures you mentioned that braid their hair don’t do it the same as us. Each braid literally serves a different purpose. Ours are protective and meant for courser hair types, while others may be protective but for only certain hair types; though a lot of times those cultures include braids in them more for stylistic reason, as opposed to us black people who were and sometimes still are told that our natural hair is unprofessional.
While we acknowledge that wigs are a common thing for black women, can we also acknowledge why they are so common? And please don’t say that things have “changed,” because even still in 2024 I’ve had people tell me my hair wasn’t professional enough and ask me how I was gonna style it.

💀😂 Right?!? 😂
Exactly. Why do some white (or any nonblack) girls who have a black man always trying to get the braids? 😂🙄 Sorry but people can see right thru that ish
@@scorpianna420 Ngl it kinda reminds me of a few of my nonblack exes who would ask "do i get the pass for having a black gf" (yes, I was in high & middle school😂). For nonblack women, I think its some sort of culture fetish, for the nb men I hope it was just a joke💀
I mean as soon as he entered the frame! "Hm, that's why"....
Agreed because the same shyt happens to our hair right after taking braids out! You MUST DETANGLE YOUR HAIR IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING BRAIDS OUT! If you don’t and go straight to shampooing your shyt will instantly lock up!
So moral of the story is don't do shit if you don't know what you're doing, works for most things in life too
How would you ever learn something new, or get ahead if you were always afraid to mess things up?
All she had to do is detangle it she looked cute
@@catiemyers3429it’s not about being afraid to mess things up. People were trying to give her advice and she was being racist and disrespectful to them. It’s fine if you wanna try something new but it’s different if don’t know what you’re doing and don’t except the help people are trying to give you
Facts!! I said the same thing “why not comb it as you take it down”.. Homegirl missed that part real bad 😂😂😂😂
No she was too busy trying to clown bw with that nonsense 'afro and her bm'
Straight hair girlies will never know the struggle of curly hair knots
Those braids look so cute on her.
Those r beautiful braids.
I try to keep my mind open enough to comprehend younger generations. My dearest friends are 15-20 years younger than me. I do not get the braided hair issue at all because when I was 13 I had a sleepover birthday party. Some of the girls were black and they asked if we could all do each other's hair. Of course the request was met with an enthusiastic yes! It was actually a lot of fun. Dana braided my hair. I didn't keep it that way long because I don't have the face for that style. The experience however was a bonding experiencing. Girls being girls and "prettying" each other up. Here in 2023, WTF happened to that kind of connectedness???
Thank you!❤
Word.
Social media
I think what happened is that those girls grew up and were discriminated due to those hairstyles. There are lawsuits currently due to blk women being discriminated against due to those hairstyles. Reality happened.
That's because kids have to be taught to hate. When you see someone as basically the same as you you don't have to draw any useless lines and excluding people and telling people they have to stay in their box and can only take part in things that are in their box. People no longer want unity. They want control.
She looks beautiful with the braids. She shoulda schooled herself before doing them. Who cares who does what with their hair. There’s so many bad things happening in this world right now. Love one another ❤
This is why it’s so important to know what your doing, and not just wanting to do something for the sake of it. It’s the clear lack of respect she has when doing so.
I would love to know why was she disrespectful?
Oh please, she doesn't have to be respectful of anything 😂 Since when are black women expected to be respectful when wearing blonde wigs? It's just hair and people were shitting on her and making racist taunts towards her, so she threw it back in their face. She doesn't need to respect anyone who disrespects her and is racist towards her. Lord have mercy...
@@tisbutascratch2045you so fckin dum🌚 the girl is an actual racist for your info also you do have to be respectful why tf would you be rude to someone or a culture for no absolute reason also black ppl wearing a blonde colored wig is not cultural boo so you can’t compare the 2 last time I checked a hairstyle CANT be “just a hairstyle” when the creation was to escape ppl beating tf out of you, that don’t seem like a normal ass ponytail to me?
@@tisbutascratch2045 Yes people were being rude to her, and she was receiving hate from a lot of people(not just black people), but some of the comments she responded to from black women were the ones where they were trying to tell her how it could be damaging for her hair/how to take care of them. She was rude and saying disrespectful/racist remarks to them and then said it was okay because her children were mixed. I’m black, I could care less who wears braids but it becomes a problem when you try to perpetuate a racial stereotype because you have them, or you don’t bother to learn why certain hair types(I.e. non curly/textured hair) typically can’t handle the style. Commenters spreading hate we’re definitely in the wrong, but the things she said were out of line especially since her kids are mixed.
@@jellysandals2296bingo!!! This is why it’ll never be ok to me for any none black women to COSPLAY our culture. Because they have ZERO respect and are rats waiting to steal, discredit, and discredit and I feel so sad for her children.
It wasn’t the braids only noticed she had to do the Kylie Jenner 3 shades darker makeup too. These women know what they’re doing. Don’t give me that Viking shit her man is black she was going for this “aesthetic”.
Her man's the type that likes the caricature of black women but not real black women. They deserve each other.
@@misschin99Exactly 💯 like if you gonna get a girl who tries to look like a sista you might as well get a sista tf lol
Yep
@@misschin99indeed
They love to make that Viking excuse.
Her braids were beautiful 😢🥰 and you are right she did not condition her hair correctly after taking them out. I think she cut it out of frustration w the comment section because w patience it could have been saved.
And who cares! She trolled black women, made songs about hanging black women- all because some black man is giving her dick.
I guess she doesn’t know, as many of you don’t seem to know- black men give everybody dick. Period.
She is white. She shouldn’t have no braids at all
Your exactly rite! That's exactly what I was thinking!
She looked cute with the braids, girl wear your hair how you want. Forget what people say ❤
She honestly looks gorgeous with the braids
This is why you don't just do stuff without doing your research, folks. Not everything is for everybody, and that includes hairstyles.
She is sooo pretty with those braids
It doesn't matter, what your color is. If to u want to wear what you want...go for it
Life is to short for this.
I've got black family members, & friends with blond hair. No one says anything.
Let her be her.❤
ok? blonde hair isn’t exclusive to white people
i appreciate you not banging on her simply because she was white with that hairstyle. its nice to see people not only be respectful, but try their best to help out and explain why it didn’t work.
also, the proper term to describe her hair would be “fro.” the reason people got offended with “afro” was because it stands for african-fro, which she does not have. i wouldn’t put her on full blast for that, but y’now, i don’t know the full story and whether or not this was intentional.
Well the chick is only receiving the same energy she put out..... she was ugly to others first which is why she got such a negative response...so you lack looking at the entire situation...while your un der the impression that "she is a damsel in distress" 😏
@@TheVeryBlesseda lot of people(most of the time not blacks) have a huge problem with people doing something that comes from another culture because "It's not yours"
I had no idea about the “fro” and “Afro” terms. Thank you for sharing this!
@@KazehareRaidenbullcrap
More respect than she would EVER give her as a bw
*It's the antagonizing BW for me.
It's the mockery of BW for me.
When she had the braids in, she was so bronzed versus when they were being taken out she was so pale; on top of that the mocking of Black women patting their hair instead of scratching the scalp, FLAGRANT. Her vids speak for themselves and I love that she got what she deserved.*
Oh brother here comes the victim mentality and the racist this and racist that. Let homegirl do what she want. Us black folk don’t own hairstyle. Turn on love and hip hop and you’ll see all the black girls with straight blonde hair. No one says nothing.
Folks like you stay with the victim thinking. This be the stuff that Candace Owens be talking about.
@@Mikethetwilight1234bro she literally said in one of her videos she was Ganna Lynch a black woman. So shut the f up and sit down because we know what we are talking about. This is why we don't let white people take out culture
@@Mikethetwilight1234bro you also listen to Candace Owen no wonder your brain is fried
that "you guys like my natural Afro" was just..... people might be a bit more accepting of white women getting box braids if the ones that got them could act right about it
Yeah. I have straight hair and used to do box braids all the time, and never had a problem. I feel like because everyone was ‘warning’ her, she probably panicked and thought her hair was ruined when it wasn’t. Thanks for looking at it logically ♥︎
We keep telling them isn’t about gatekeeping a style, it’s literally damaging to their hair. The same way white men shouldn’t wear ball caps cause it rubs the hair from the follicles. Not only do we have different textured hair, we have completely different follicles from them, so our hair responds differently in general to certain styles. No one has had more trial and errors with hair than us 😅 so we be knowing.
That’s totally fair. I’m chronically online though and the last 5-7 years I’ve seen more people bring up appropriation than the stance you’re talking bout. But maybe that’s just my personal experience
It’s not damaging her hair, stop the cap 😂😂
@@Ash_Queen16 sure..it’s just mangled to the point she chopped it off. You should look up the definition of damaged hair since you clearly need clarity on what it’s considered.
@@cosodesign8953 I personally don’t care about anyone getting braids or fros. I love Bob Ross and it’d be dumb of me to have selective outrage, but I do understand the upset. I’ve personally been victimized by schools and jobs for my natural or protective styles while non black people in those same spaces could have every color, style, spike, etc and get away with it. If non black people helped us to fight discriminatory hair policies they’d possibly get a better reaction to wearing them, but instead everyone turns a blind eye to it, call us liars and in the same breathe saying they wear our styles out of appreciation for the culture. That’s not what it’s giving. Only 17 out of 50 states have enacted The Crown Act. It was short lived in the news and all anyone can say to us is well you wear straight hair and wigs, when the reason the Crown Act was necessary is because for decades we had to.
@@duchessofthedorks Lmao all she needed to do was to comb it out 😂 That’s what other people are saying as well. Sounds like you’re just bitter that a White person is wearing braids.
I like that you gave advice on how to take care of your hair if this is something you decide to do. I think being able to enjoy different cultures is fun and a great experience of being able to understand them. I personally wouldn't look good with those braids cause I'm so blonde I barely look like I have eyebrows or lashes😂. But this young lady looked stunning with those braids. It's a shame she didnt know how to care for her hair properly after removing the braids.
Its a shame how ignorant she is
no
She looks so beautiful with her braids
That's one opinion. But not mine
@@apriljohnson7447 is it because you think it’s not appropriate for a white girl to wear braids?
@@apriljohnson7447 to be honest, I didn’t ask for your opinion, nor do I entertain racism.. this is pure ignorance
I think she looks good too. That’s not my issue tho. I have no opinion on braids and racism and all that stuff, nor am I black or white but it bothers me because I can just feel the itch. I have middle eastern thick hair but even my hair would be going through it. To care for medium thickness hair or even just regular thick hair that way can be really putting a lot of stress on the scalp and it can weaken the hair strands like crazy because our hair can’t handle as much tension. It just hurts me to see beautiful girls do this stuff without understanding that it’s not just a race thing you also have to think about the health of your hair.
She’s trolling especially at the end with her Afro comment. 🙄 That’s fine though, people need to stop letting others rile them up for clout.
omg so this happen to me. When I took out my hair had it loose for 2 days brushed as soon as I washed it, it clumped the same way spent three days trying to get it out even my husband tried to help. I was 😢 in the shower using leave in conditioner. I was not sure if it was the shampoo that I used but it was a devastating experience. Then sucked it up and had to cut my hair in a pixie cut . it was 2 days before xmas. Good thing hair grows back. I’m glad I came across this for the comments. I will certainly be deep conditioning it before the wash. Always learning
She just didn’t detangle her hair properly. That’s why it turned out the way it did. Also, she wasn’t patient with her hair when it did tangle. Her hair wasn’t ruined, but I understand the frustration when your hair just stops cooperating. She cut her hair and it grew back lol so she was good 😂😂😂
Why are you taking the time to explain and understand the actions of someone who isn’t concerned at all about understanding you? Y’all weird ass black women are embarrassing as hell. Learn self love and stop being a pick me.
All she had to do was douse her hair w some super duper good conditioner and let it sit an hour
Racing to get braids but don’t have the common sense to know how to detangle
This wanna be “sista girl” is simple
Plain and simple
@@chrisharris2367frfr😂😂😂
I’m a hairdresser and I absolutely love to see braiding of any kind. When I was a little girl I asked my dad for box braids because one of my friends in school had the prettiest braids and he told me that it wasn’t for my hair type. As a hairdresser now I can confidently say he wasn’t really wrong. Its not that braids aren’t gorgeous on anyone or that only one culture or ethnicity should be able to wear braids. However straighter hair does tend to break with the tighter braids and they aren’t as likely to stay. People with straighter hair produce more natural hair oils which makes the longevity of the hairstyles not last and if you’re getting the service professionally done it can be expensive and in some cases not really worth it (depending on the reason you are getting the braids of course do whatever you’d like braids are gorgeous)
Braids look beautiful on black women, but just from what I’ve seen and my opinion I think black women need to be told and reminded that their natural hair is beautiful, and it’s more then fine to wear. I know my cousins that are black felt that it wasn’t “acceptable” or as beautiful to wear their hair natural. Which is so beyond f*cked up. I don’t want to speak for everyone but I wonder if that’s how others have felt. You can’t deny the beauty that comes from a black womens hair, radiant as hell skin, and lucious lips, so gorgeous!! And I’m over here with my 5 shades of pale ass skin haha. 😂
okay she's not even trying to take care of her braids, IF IT'S MATTED. my hair is wavy and following black content creators has helped me so, so much. my hair is extremely low porosity and i was using the heaviest products which weighed my hair down. curlelia, power in your curl and so naturally gwen saved my dead hair's life! 😭😭 i got the right products, stopped scrunching as all the product would immediately come out, followed their low porosity routine and my hair actually started absorbing the products, got myself a satin bonnet and a satin pillowcase. i've never had anyone to teach me how to take care of my body, hair, hygiene, and black women have literally taught me everything through yt videos! also, i've come across so many white curly-haired girlies getting braids and the comments are always so positive & supportive! i bet her comments were asking her to learn how to take care of her hair and not let it get MATTED, and she knows how many views & attention she could get by just saying that everyone's accusing her of blackfishing. ripping the braids out while looking at the camera aggressively is ridiculous and so funny?? she can't be serious please😭😭
I truly don’t see the big deal. I don’t know about the situation and how she acted but if they wanna wear braids that’s on them. Especially if she got it done by a black woman supporting her business. She looked cute, I feel like she should have watched a RUclips video on out to take down braids and detangle.
I think it is more of an internet thing. I dont think anybody would say anything about it out in the streets.
I'm white af. That's just my skin. My ancestry is likely mixed, being Italian/Sicilian and all. My nautral hair is curly, frizzy. And when I say fizzy i mean.. it's like fairy floss when brushed out or when it's humid and i havent put any leave in creams in. Braids would save me time and money, yet I'd get accused of being racist just because of my skin? So i can't do them. I can't take care of my hair the way it probably needs because of my skin? Isn't that also racism? Nah. I'm fkn fed up. Don't bother commenting on my pic. That's not my natural hair. Thays half chemically straightened. I have to treat my hair like a white person, because of society. I've destroyed my hair doin that. Maybe black people should embrace people interested in their style. Especially if we actually have curly frizzy hair, some of us need help, white or not. I was born this way, yet i can't maintian my hair in certain ways because of my skin? Now that's racist. ugh. Yes I'm on a rant. All best.
@@lacil8895 If you allow how others dictate and control your life to where as though you feel you can’t wear a hairstyle based off your skin tone that’s on you. You’re grown, and with that being said, you and YOU ONLY know what’s absolute best for YOUR hair. What we gon do if you get it? Rip it out? 😭 Girl plz! take care of your hair as you see fit , that’s apart of self care. Most black women including myself don’t give a fuck.
@@virgochic8415I wouldn't have to say anything
My face would speak LOUDLY
@@titilove4364imagine if a stranger dictated your way of living...
Also make sure to detangle as you take the braids. Using detangling spray helps
VO5 hot oil solves all tangles, regardless of race.
Yea that’s exactly why we say they shouldn’t get these braids they to busy trying to clap back at us and justify why they should be able to wear them instead of using that energy to research the damn hairstyle how to take care of it let alone how to take it down😂she was being hella rude racist and mean and karma got her ass she didn’t “forget” to comb them out she just never even KNEW you’re supposed to part ts and detangle before washing. She just didn’t know cause she didn’t research ts before getting it. Which they NEVER do
White ppl r "theys" now... Crazy. Plus white people with braids have been around for a long time. Slovakians, Russians, Medieval vikings, etc. Maybe you should research and realize everyone can wear braids no matter your skin color. You're just saying she cant wear them, "because she's white." You're the defintion of racist.
"Which they never do" putting all white people in a standard you created...racist much lmfao
@@bludgetouttahere completely agree, well said
You are an idiot
So you use the terms ‘we’ and ‘they’ like we’re not ALL human beings yet she is the racist one?! You should take a long look in the mirror🙄 The racist here is YOU!
