I love that she explains the importance of braids and what it means to black culture. It’s always deeper than hair 💛
I appreciate the knowledge. Although im not black i like to learn about different cultures. Thx for this video! She makes it look easy i cant do it over! Only under. Wish i could figure it out ❤ respect given!
Love this type of conversation.
And it's literally to keep our hair moisturized and protected....our hair needs moisture and this style holds it in longer. Our styles have a function for our hair's health!! So others who wear it to be "cool" literally have no idea what they're doing. Appropriation in a nutshell. Cultural things have a reason! Yes it looks cute (cuz what we do is always the shit), but that's why we get angry when others do it, because they literally don't know WTH the reason is
Its not healthy tho lol
@@Jecht1221 what's not healthy????
@@flyleelee5351 your hair being pulled and in place all the time. It's meant to breathe and be free. Cornrows, braids and weaves all damage hair. But keep thinking you're special.
Did black people invent tattoos as well? Because I know many black people with tattoos, and they didn’t invent it. Infact, the word tattoo is actually Samoan, and Samoans don’t give a damn if you’re not Samoan and you rock a tattoo.
@@Jecht1221 it might damage YOUR HAIR, but for it didn’t damage ours. it’s literally made for our hair so bye.
Let em know sis 🙌🏾💪🏾✌🏽
Gabrielle Corny... Thank you for the tutorial..As well the showing and telling of products.. Beautiful hair loving the color..
Never knew "RICE GRAINS WERE BRAIDED INTO HAIR FOR A SOURCE OF FOOD" much appreciated for the lesson.... Refinery 29
great ful for the educational posts
I love this. Thank you for educating me!
it’s not just african american culture. african culture aswell.
Lol they try to claim everything It’s all African culture
I love this video I've been braiding my hair since I was probably 14 and it's so crazy Ive been braiding my hair and have had it in braids for so long it feels instinctive.
I am impressed that you can do this in your own hair! Nice braiding and it looks great when completed. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for taking the time to share this
Did not know this, Im glad I do now! 🌹
It is wonderful art. I have always admired the art in cornrows and as a hairstylist, learning it’s significance was important.
Love the earrings!
Refinery please do a well researched follow-up up piece on this topic, especially on the history please.
I have a question. Don't mean no harm, I'm just curious. Is it cultural appropriation when white people use cornrows in all cases or when we wear it not acknowledging that they are part of your culture?
White ppl can use cornrows if they are Viking decent. Vikings had them before blacks
it is in every context
it’s african not african american 🤦🏿♀️
Preach girl.
Thumbs up from the first sentence..I always try to explain this with out sounding like I'm a new black guy who became a hater
It’s AFRICAN culture. Not African America. This is coming from somebody born in Africa and that lives in a country that previously through Apartheid.
So pretty!!! Is it offensive if white people do it? I am 54 w long hair
Hhhhh why it can be offensive ? It s just hairstyle
@@aminamercy8179 pls watch the video, it is
In the black and Hispanic community it's a protective style. Please learn your history because cornrows are not only a black thing. It actually got started from from the Native Americans
Thank u for sharing! I am mixed with native but I did not know that I never wanted to argue with anyone
Black people are the oldest race of people. Cornrows started with Black people and some cultures share these hairstyles.
You're saying native Americans created this hairstyle? That doesn't sound true especially when Africans have been around since the beginning 🤔
@@iloveloveloveableful yeah that's what I was wondering I am native obviously mixed with other stuff but I have never heard anything about us with braids it has always been African-Americans I was surprised to see that post
@@AirQuotes I do know I've never seen natives with cornrows LOL that's news to me but there is a lot I still need to learn:-)
i am White and i have been braiding my own cornrows sihce i saw the movie 10 when i was 15.i love skinny braids and colorful beads i switch out to match my outfits.
ohhh so it’s an ad ok
So if I do this as a white man is it bad, or cultural apropriation? I want to be culturally sensitive.
It looks cute but its bad for the hair especially the edges!!!
Cornrows helps my hair grow
jennie take notes
To think that braids and “corn rows” was birthed during the American slavery and not anywhere in the 10,000 years of human is history is small minded. Black people have done great things but not EVERYTHING has to do with slavery.
Incorrect. It's been a hairstyle in Africa way before American slavery started.
I’m black and it don’t mean shit to me
there is rice in africa? lol
It’s all so Exaggerated talkin bout “goes deeper” plz......the only thing deep is the hair follicle in that sculp.
Wtf
Braids are NOT a African hairstyle. It came from Vikings and native Americans and ancient Chinese 😒
How when Africans been here the longest?🤔🙄
