Why did u just now say it after a year
It is gorgeous and you have so much talent and patience😊
I have been off RUclips. Took a break to have a baby.
oof
Can this be done the same way with no extensions?
Im black , so im just going so say this. For everyone who is saying "stop acting black" , it is impossible to act a color or shade . So stop being petty frfr 💀
I just wanted to ask you. Is it disrespectful for a light brown person to wear box braids?
@@shahedalbakhit7992 girl? they still black wym 💀
@@sparrows3232 no not black. Really light brown super light. I dont have the hair of someone black my hair is straight and I wanna do box braids idk if I'm being disrespectful that way though
@@shahedalbakhit7992 no because you’re still black at the end of the day, and i know not all black people have the same hair types and textures so that’s normal.
@@sparrows3232 I argued with my friend about this. She says I cant
The issue is never that white women CAN'T wear box braids. It's your hair do as you please. But you need to understand the fact that black women are often shunned, called unkept, unprofessional, lost jobs, aren't hired at all because we wear these styles. While white women are considered edgy or trendy. Recognize your privilege.
A Thick Girl's Closet I just find that so bizarre - you rarely see anyone in Australia with these kinds of braids but they are so neat and beautiful, like I don’t understand how anyone could say they are unkept.
I’ve seen them a few times and always think they are just so cool with mountains of braids.
I just want to make a note saying that, I myself have never ever heard such things being said about black women not having kept hair! That's rather disturbing that you even bring that up.

I’m white and I have always wanted box braids but everyone tells me not to cause I’m “to white” or “stop trying to be black” there’s a lot of poor judgment over a style for your hair. But idk if I should still get them.
precious long too bad. The situation is different in the Netherlands, people don’t care.

Faith Love I remember it being called uncivilised and jungle-y
Ok. You didn't need to curse to get your point across. I understand that.

To all of those people saying white people cant have "black hairstyles", then tell black women to stop straightening their hair. Im mixed so i can basically speak for both sides on this. Hair is hair. Skin is skin. It doesnt matter. (Yes, you should acknowledge the cultural roots and stuff but still).
Kpop Ruined Me what? Having straight hair is not a culture Braids are black culture and culturistic to African terms straightening your hair is not a culture
Sanailovez 1
Braids werent made by black people or anything, lots of other people with different ethnicities used braids as a style or just to keep hair out of their face. Like vikings. Its a style
Kpop Ruined Me We made box braids we own box braids and corn rows I never said the girl in the video couldn't wear them it looks cute on her
Sanailovez 1
Yeah but im talking to the people who are talking about braids in general, not specifically box braids and corn rows.
Why do you think black women started straightening their hair?? Bc it was more excepted in society and braids were discriminated against. Consider that
I don’t have a problem personally with non-people of color wanting to wear box braids; long as you acknowledge the African culture and understand the protective style, you’re good in my book.
Kennedy Mason non-people of colour tf😂
I'm sorry, but why does someone have to know the history of a hairstyle before wearing it?
Kennedy Mason ❤️❤️❤️
Aleja Isip Nice try. But, the gag is that straight hair does NOT belong to a certain culture, so it’s not cultural appropriation. NOT all braids, but specifically speaking, box braids are apart of black culture.
@@xplane6693 so they know what there wearing
This is African culture, and I don't see Africans whining about this all the time. I see black Americans though, why is it?
People don't talk about culture appropiation if a black person is Catholic or Protestant; people don't talk about culture appropiation if a westener uses arabic numerical system on a daily basis; people don't say it's culture appropiation when a dark skin person ligthens their skin in order to mimic white people; people don't talk about culture appropiation when they use a gun, whose powder is a Chinese invention.
Non-toxic people try to see the beauty of this world and enjoy it with others.
I'll take exploitation and colonization for 1000 alex. Please tell me, how often are you around native Africans? I'm not surprised you dont hear much bc #1, they live half way around the world, #2 because of all the shit that (assuming you are white) your ancestors did to the entire continent of Africa, many populations are going to be poor, no wifi, and no phone to communicate. #3, in Africa, white people are not trying to steal their culture and hair style so of course they aren't going to say anything... for goodness sake, a little common sense might help you.
Ps. Most of those examples that you gave aren't examples of culture. But it did make me laugh reading it. Especially the part about Chinese gun powder culture🤣
@@sophiamalcolm2710 ah but did anyone still alive have anything to do with history hundreds of years ago? No. Therefore your point is invalid. I believe you are the racist one for assuming the majority of white people now are even similar to the monsters who were slavers and murderers.
@@MovingMad okay, you are all over the place. I dont understand why it matters if nobody today was alive 200 years ago. Or how am I the racist. I actually didnt accuse anybody of being racist so I'm not sure how you threw that on me. I literally have no idea what you are talking about...
@@sophiamalcolm2710 well u were the one that mentioned the history in a different comment so I actually responded to that, i know its hard to read what u wrote. Also where did I accuse you of calling anyone racist, I didnt btw. maybe read the comment before making a statement on it.
I’m mixed with a wavy texture and the first time I got braids they slipped out. So this means a lot and thank you!
i braid hair and it took me long to learn how to braid non afro textured hair .. was so stressful as the hair always slipped out
This woman did a fantastic job braiding. Hair is hair at the end of the day. Skin color should never define wearing something, doing something and it also should never define who you are in life. It seems like too many people forget that we are all people. If someone wants to bash someone for their hair then don’t get upset when it’s done to you in return.
Caroline B it’s not skin color the comments are usually concerned about it’s the hair that is on her head since it’s under 3c hair it can’t hold all that weight on it
Thank you !!!
it's not the skin color we're mad about. it's the painful history behind it.
@@zarii7398 what is the painful history behind it?
@@hoodlum6776 Link it up that’s sad your not educated
I am mixed and I did the braids of my German friend by myself because she was so excited about it ...it looked stunning at her 😍😍😍 everybody should do what they want with their hair! Nobody cares if I straight my hair, no "you're to black to wear straight" so why she can't wear braids ?!
I like it ❣️
Beautiful message!
@von Anthony i am biracial and i am sick of people like you...i am both Period and nobody tells me what i can do and what not.
If there is a Person who wears braids but is really Racist or allways talk bad about Black people,then get them off of them ...but otherwise for me its okay
@von Anthony and thats why people are separate,because you choose it. Also you don't need to explain my two cultures to me 🤣
I saq you are just new with your Profil so..I am sorry for you ,that your unhappy with your live and to come arround an annoy people with your anonym racist Profil. Its easy like that and if you feel better now then ok.
White people look a mess with box braids🤣
Girl I just got my first box braids I got the Bo Derek Braids and everybody tells me about how much more prettier my eyes have gotten... The braids raise my self-esteem I feel like I can be me...
You did such an amazing job. I have a little girl that's mixed and she wanted box braids. But her texture is like mine and I didn't want it to look tacky. Now I know how to do it thanks to you. ❤ But what was the product that you used on her roots?
Am glad you learnt from the video, that was exactly my aim which was to enlighten people on it. The products I used are in the description bar. As for the product I used on her roots, it is an hair wax called; Red One hair wax.

Everyone is just talking about race, can y’all just watch the damn tutorial and learn from it, damn
Her hair is gonna fall out and break, it's a protective style. She doesn't have anything to "protect" The style isn't good for her hair, I'm not saying that she can't wear the braids. I'm trying to warn her that her hair is going to break off. But since people don't want to listen, imma just let it happen.
Cadence Moon idk why she made that decision to get it either there are many alternatives for there hair this is one of the worst options for her
Her hair is going to fall out and break, it would be better if she didn't use fake hair. Braids aren't for white hair and what will we be learning from this please explain and use common sense

It's the same as braiding black natural hair I don't know why people are so confused it's the same as relaxed hair
Ive wanted my hair done like this for so long i think its beautiful!! 1 no one does it here and 2. I braid crooked makes me cry.
itsCHIDIpeople relaxed hair is not that same as naturally straight hair. Cmon now
I have natural soft straight hair no boo relaxed hair is still dry and looks like straw .
Not the same, fine, silky hair can be difficult for some people because it is harder to grip without the proper technique.
Oh noooo. My hair is oily and it's will just slide right out if not done right
Some black people are justifying being racist by saying all the other races especially whites are racist so now I'm going to do it to you. You can't wear that hairstyle because you are a different race than me. It's gotten quite ridiculous. They went after Bruno Mars because he is not black but performs funk, rhythm and blues, soul and hip hop. The concept of cultural appropriation, it's divisive and exclusionary. It doesn't help innovation. People that are racist, prejudice and bigoted can appear to care about minorities while keeping people of different races from interacting while sharing common interests. Racist people don't want to see anyone from their race embracing the culture of another race or another race embracing anything from theirs. It's a great tool for dividing people. The world would be so boring if we couldn't learn other languages or try different foods, make different kinds of music, wear different styles of clothing. If we try to put restrictions on each other. If we try to control people's creativity and expression. Can you imagine if everyone started restricting everyone about everything? The world would be a horrible place full of restrictions. We'd be walking on eggshells all the time wondering whose culture we'll be accused of appropriating next. An article accused Rihanna of appropriating from Latina culture because of how she did her eyebrows. Also if you are not Latina and wear large hoop earrings.... Latina culture appropriation. This sort of cultural segregation does nothing to bring us together and everything to push us apart.
I changed it to some. I realize that some people are inclusive and want unity and acceptance. I was just frustrated by the people not being this way. Some people are being divisive, polarizing and exclusionary. Some realize that we are all people and that the millennials that want to wear box braids, are probably not the ones giving black people a hard time. Someone that is fifteen years old doesn't deserve to be punished because of the media not giving credit or because of work policies. Most of the people wanting to wear box braids are mainly young women that appreciate and admire the hairstyle. I can't imagine anyone saying to a black person, "you can't do that because you're black" it would be considered racist. When a black person says you can't do that because you're white, it's just as racist.
anon amous youre right no need to apologise
@laavishxx
That is not true. The definition of a racist person is someone that has prejudice against others of a different race. It has nothing to do with power. I think we can agree that Black people can be prejudice. Here is the dictionary definition.
rac·ist pronunciation -ˈrāsəst/noun
A person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races.
As an adjective: Showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races.
So you see black people can be racist. It is false and misleading to say otherwise.
You are in denial so it is impossible to have an honest discussion. Black people can and are often racist. It is not dependant on power at all. Just prejudice.
I believe in the truth. You’re trying to change the definitions of the term racist. (I assume you’re part of the New Left.) You’re encountering not a lack of understanding - people understand all too well what you’re trying to do. Perhaps better than you do. What you’re encountering is a refusal to accept your redefinitions.
Prejudice on the basis of race is racism, as a simple matter of definition.
Some people don't like those definitions, because they want to say racist things without being called a racist.
It’s crazy the only reason I went threw the comments is to see how small minded people are .. we’re in 2018 for god sak how are we still having 1918 problems .. we can make watches that you can answer like a cell phone but we can’t stop calling a hair style a black hairstyle .. it’s fucking hair who cares
Well I do know that it has been found in all cultures of the world, including Asia, Africa, Egypt, Europe and the Americas. And The Venus of Brassempouy, a bust that's nearly 25,000 years old, sports a braided hairstyle (found in a cave in France) Braids were also commonly depicted in Egyptian drawings too.
Braids itself belonging to your culture? No. Box braids? It's hair just enjoy putting it up the way you want....or straighten it....dye it blond or red....I don't care. It's your hair. Lol
Melodyofthesea78 and black people where orignaly in all of thoes places.

@@arfbark yeah it's part of our history I dont mind them doing a hairstyle but like it's part of our culture and it's the only thing we have before it's taken from us and used as a trend I dont mind caucasian people using this hairstyle but I'll appreciate when they do it raise awareness bc kids are being sent hope for wearing cornrows and braids...I hope know you understand why it's really important for us this hairstyle and it LITERALLY got us thru slavery to hide corn seeds and create messages with the braids you can see how important and really interesting this is and if you do research you'll know where were coming from. have a nice day😘😉
I think it’s pretty fucked up how people keep commenting on how “white” people need to stop copying “black” people. First of all, stop diversifying them; they are all people (strong melanin pigmentation or not) Secondly, the video was a tutorial and an explanation on how to do this on hair that has a different texture so why is everyone up each other’s ass about race? I think the video served it’s purpose.. as for the comments 🤷🏻♀️ Also, just a quick fun fact THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SKIN COLOUR AND RACE / ETHNICITY. For example, my skin is white but I’m mostly olive-toned and kind of yellow-y, however my race is mostly European and Hispanic (British Honduran) Anyways, love to all 💜🌎💜🌍💜🌏

Box braids are our culture not your fashion
Box braids is a hairstyle. I can easily say "Don't go bald and wear a wig it's the white culture." but that would be stupid. Lol
Caucasian Women can have Box Braids or any Braids. Just do not leave them in as long that could damage your hair. Our hair grows fast and is thinner so it break faster off. But for a vacation or a month you can do it. Also take care of the Braids moisture and do not wash everyday. I had mine in for 2 month no damage!

Why are people mad at this? Cultural appropriation is taking ownership of a culture you didn't create, not practicing a culture. This Caucasian lady went to a black hairdresser who knows what she's doing and supporting her and appreciating culture. How's that a problem?
Because her hair could literally fall out and box braids is a culture, that's why everyone's mad duh?
@@briarbeautyfan it’s a culture, but it’s not owned so stop taking ownership

in scandinavia we have a looong history of braids and dread locks, its just called another name. It goes all the way back to the wikings having braids and dread locks. Men and woman. And we are white as fuck. I do understand that in america there is alot of problems with racesism in diffrend ways. but the internet is not only the USA. It is the hole world.. :) I have no idea if that made any sence but i hope so. Anyway have a nice day, if reading this. :)
@Sun Flower they shouldn’t! people preach equality and letting people do what they want but do the exact opposite
@Dan Delion vikings definitely had braids. braids aren’t an “african” thing but box braids, cornrows, are. vikings definitely weren’t wearing cornrows so cut the bullshit. this is why reading is ✨fundamental✨. aside from the damage box braids will do to your hair, you’d look terrible with them just like the woman in this video does.

@@notreallynylkoorb literally too much people do. Look on random videos about white women getting braids and see the black Americans crying over it... While us Africans laugh at the hypocrisy
y'all did not have Box braids tho! Please don't mix that up
Everyone in the comment talking about how its just hair. its not just hair, its cultural appropriation.for white women, these hairstyles are a personal choice rooted in vanity that can be easily removed or washed away, like a beach wave or a high ponytail. There is immense privilege in choosing to wear black hairstyles when it suits one's aesthetic, while also having the ability to opt out of the prejudice associated with these hairstyles in instances when this aesthetic is not deemed acceptable. white women can shield themselves from the negative ramifications and biases surrounding black hairstyles while reaping the rewards, whether financially or otherwise. black women are not granted this privilege and have endured a painful history of attempting to dismantle and erase their personal and cultural identity associated with their natural hair. basically, when a black woman wears box braids or other black hairstyles its deemed as "ghetto" but when a white woman does, its trendy and aesthetic. If you don't see a problem, you're the problem.
you're the problem, for getting offended over a fucking hairstyle
@@finlaymarron y’all always trying to copy somebody
PERIOD!
exactly this!
Nobody notices white people culture like I’m Irish Italian American Polish but people just say I’m American
Wow. This is an art I appreciate. Amazing talent to do this forreal
I was thinking about replying to some comments but I decided to just make one of my own because this is crazy. I see so many comments saying “white people cant have this hair” or “it don’t look good on her bc she’s white” or “white people copy black people” etc. what I don’t understand is how you never hear nobody saying when black girls flat iron their hair they’re trying to copy us or be like us, or that it don’t look good. But once a white girl wears braids in her hair she’s trying to be black, it literally a hair style, not a color. Also with white people always liking “black people music”. Even if a white person does like black artist, 1 it shouldn’t matter look what year it is. &’ 2 I’ve met plenty of black people that listen to nothing but “white people music” but you never hear us saying stuff like that. It’s 2019 let people live, sorry but braids did not come from just black people, everybody did and does them. The point is it’s 2019, grow up and let people do what they wanna do with their hair, box braids could damage anyone’s hair if they aren’t done the right way.
Go ahead is do box braids but it’s literally going to break off there hair

I like it....i think its A lil thick but if thats the style then it came out awesome! you go girl!
I think she might have done it that way on purpose to prevent breakage. Straight/Thin hair can break super easily. Especially since her hair is bleached. Btw you are so pretty!
My sister did these braids on me for years. I've always wanted to learn to do them myself. Thank you!!
Reading all these comments, it sucks that a person of whichever color can’t just get their hair braided or colored, etc. I’m Caucasian and would love to have this done because I’m a girl and girls want to be pampered. Stop the racism. We all beautiful. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎
Yes, I completely agree!!!
What’s funny is it was just a few years ago (and it is still true) that I would visit the Bahamas and the black ladies on the beach were happily braiding any white girls hair or anyone of any color. It didn’t offend them at all. They encouraged us to try it!
We should still respect the cultures and heritages of other races though. I don’t think this topic is a racism thing. It’s a respect and double standard thing. Little black girls are being sent home for braids, black women are loosing jobs, missing out in opportunities for braids, some are flat out banned in certain work places. Braids are ghetto on African Americans but it’s just a hairstyle when women of other races wear braids. Double standard.
people are saying “oh this is black hair let the black people have their moment” okay then black people cant straighten their hair cause us white people need to have “our moment”. like this is ridiculous! it’s just a hair style. we are all human!
@@shaunkamryn yup but now its possible, and ive experienced it, being bullied for being white
@Harmony yeah but that's what is seen as white. Its just an example.
It damages straight hair sthu
White people have their moments everyday! Straight hair doesn’t have a meaning behind it! You are born with straight hair black people aren’t born with braids. We need to stop taking things from other cultures and we need to stop normalising it
@Harmony it is. You are completely wrong... Asians but also some European, in the past, used to discriminate people with curly hairs. Especially in Europe (I talk as a European and not a white American), in the middle age until modern era, having long straight hair was considered a sign of good health and "clearness", while curly hair was a sign of dirtiness and uglyness... I don't know much about Asian culture but I know that they invented (especially Japaneses) the best straightening techniques for hair.
If white Americans have lost most of their European cultural roots living in a multicultural country, it doesn't mean "white people have no culture". White people are europeans and/or middle-easterns and we exist long time before America was discovered.
You did a wonderful job! Ignore all the hateful comments, you go girl!
You need to look more deeper in to braids 🤦♀️ Also, you don't realize that braids are. Protective hairstyle like you need to look into more research, why is everybody saying they can get braids, your hair, doesn't need protection, don't get braids, like we get braids, because our hair needs protection, we can't just brush our hair, our natural hair everyday.
@@al1ax440 I’m white and have curly hair I can’t brush it. My hair gets so poofy and frizzy.
I actually love seeing white people try out box braids/braids in general. My only concern is that it might be bad for her hair, like I heard these braids aren’t good for the texture? But besides that i think it’s awesome!
It’s culture appropriation
@@ryquel6505 This entire "cultural appropriation" thing happened when tiktok got released. How are they cultural appropriating, they're literally appreciating it by wearing it. It's 2022 move on.
I love box braids and as a white person can appreciate them and acknowledge that they are a protective style which is why id get them. especially since i spastically dye and bleach my hair. So id get them to stop my self from bleaching and dying my hair any more.

@@Kqwthxr it being 2022 has nothing 2 do w/ this😩😩
She’s already balding in some places and you still braid her hair? Smfh
i don't have a problem with it, the braids look good, but isn't this damaging to thin hair? because box braids are a protective style, isn't it just ripping the hairline?
No not everybody who has thin hair will have braids fall out.
@@miaamoo1860 yes it will I'm black my front hair is straight leaving it more than a week it had break my hair white people should do steaks the more for they hair texture
@@miaamoo1860 it won’t fall out after like a month if you’re lucky, but it will fall out if you keep doing this for a year
I have thin hair but a lot of it. And my neighbor would always want to put braids in my hair and my hair never had an issue with getting them. And I loved them. I think braids are beautiful. And it’s appreciation of where they come from and what the meaning behind it for me

Stop.

I have wavy hair, I get box braids every year my hair are healthy I've never ever lost bunches of hair , it depends not everyone hair it's the same, don't talk for everyone.
I've always wanted box braids and I would love to have them. I appreciate African culture and don't want to offend anyone. But I just think the style is beautiful and it's better then just throwing my hair up in a pony tail or bun. I have natural very curly hair and it can be a handful at times. I would just want someone who would put the love and care into my hair to do it
I say go for it! You only live once and if it reassures you to study the history a bit don’t hesitate to :)
If you truly appreciate the culture the most respectful thing you can do is to not get the braids.
Now this is culture appreciation you can like a culture without appropriating it👍🏿👍🏿
“I appreciate the culture” *proceeds to appropriate it*

Not tryna be mean but dosent white hair get oily fast won't they have to take it out just as fast
KiNG Poseidon yes they have to take out fast or lice gets in there hair
Then why not just get cornrows lmAo
Talya you don’t get lice from having oily hair 💀💀💀 lice are bugs , hygiene has nothing to do with getting lice lmfao
KiNG Poseidon not ALL white people get oily hair/have to wash it frequently.

Omg yea so cute. For that hair type I would suggest smaller braids so they stay in longer.I suggest micro braids for first timers and MAKE SURE THEY GET YOUR EDGES or it will fall out 💞💞

Is it ok for me to have box braids. I just wanna know cuz I'm half white and half black with 8 braids in my hair.
Yes it’s okay love lol..
Darling you do what fits you best
Turned out great. I needed that when I was about 50 years younger. I had the puniest, fly away hair braids. When I went to my sister in laws wedding I had a hairdresser put my hair in two french braids. They barely stayed in for the wedding.
Why does everyone care so much? Yeah she's Caucasian and all but it's her hair and she should feel free to do as she pleases with it. It shouldn't matter and really you're only bothered because you're looking
Ciara the point is it's no one's place to tell her she can't do what she wants with her hair. It's hers not anyone else's so people should worry about themselves. So what she's white, it doesn't matter

She just needs to respect the backstory behind it. Black girls use to get called unprofessional when they wear box braids. Plus it will damage her hair lol
Her hair is gonna fall out
You helped me finally figure out how to get to the roots on people hair THANK YOU! Other videos I was trying was not it!
My mom's been braiding my hair since i had long enough hair to braid. She yanked my head around made me sit still while she braided my hair. I love braids and I'm white. My dad passed before I was born and I was the youngest of us for girls then we have three brothers. We lived out on a country road my dad owned a scrap yard and we played in a creek and didn't have a car. My mom has never driven a car but our other family members did so about 8- 10 of us would pull up in like up in a station wagon to the zoo or grants farm in Saint Louis.. my hair was either still braided from the night before and id have wavy hair or my mom would make me sit down and get my hair braided. I was not around too many black people especially when I was young, but I started becoming more familiar with the culture and I never got the impression that anyone thought I was trying to be black or it just never occurred to me. I believe my mother braided my hair to keep it out of my eyes and she liked braided hair. I married a black man and actually he's dark brown and im dark white. His mom told him he better never bring a white woman home, but he did and she lives in the same apartment complex as we do, and she calls me her angel and she loves me very much and I love her so much too. I have a key to her apartment and I just walk in like I am her daughter. I braid my own hair and my husband helps me and I help him. There isn't a color barrier like that at all and I've never felt like I should have my hair braided. That's the silliest thing to think I'm acting dark brown when I'm dark white. My mom didn't have time to pretend she or her children were black. She just took care of our hair and that's how she was able to keep our hair fixed all day. My mom and brothers chopped wood and us girls hung clothes on the clothes line and after my dad died my mom had to sell the property and move us into a different state and I did get picked on for the way my mom braided my hair and I would pull out my braids on the school bus so that didn't happen. And id get in trouble because my hair was messy. I know I am not here to be something I'm not, I'm here because this is the best braids I've seen and I wanna learn more! Thanks for the tutorial! Beautiful 😍
All y’all arguing over black ppl only do these braids and w.e. This don’t deal wit skin color. U can have whatever u want in if u feel comfortable in it. I come from a very strict family that does not want me to have my hair open. They want me to always have in a braid. I get tired of the same style just like every girl does. I think this is a great way of style and it’s also very protective to ur hair. Btw I am middle eastern and my parents don’t want me to open my hair because I have really long hair🙄
Well for your information your hair is just gonna break off and u can't even wear it for a month bc you hair will get too oily lol but if u want to waste money go ahead 😂😂😂😂
Yall are nasty asf learn some manners
laisha slay all day not if are hair is thick and curly
damyana dawood same thing with my parents when i had very long hair (to my knees). They didnt want me to cut them but I was able to convince them.
damyana dawood your ignoring factual historical mistreatment of blks in America, which is the reason any SELF RESPECTING blk person would feel "a ways" about using the culture but abusing the ppl of the culture
Beautiful job. Braiding Caucasian hair is a skill
I am u know, white and I've always wanted braids they look rly cool and u can have a hairstyle for loads of weeks, without styling it hair everyday! People say this is just 4 natural hair and u know,people who r black but I don't see why a hairstyle that people with natural hair commonly have, can't be a hairstyle a person with straight hair can have. Tbh it's one of the things that annoys me kinda the most
The braids are absolutely stunning 💯👏🏼🙌🏼💖💖💖
they look horrid and chunky, it suits her
No!
@@briarbeautyfan yes!

@@y2kyanni128 racist much???
Mad because my braids look better than yours...lololololol...@atqraxiia
@@Kimberly-th4rv How am I mad? Actually, box braids look better on black people, because it suits them. Unlike you dumbass, yall not even black so how can you say it look better than you LOL
As a black girl i have no problem with them doing any of ‘our’ hairstyles but it was made purely for ‘black people hair’ texture however if you do it on a white persons hair it would cause a lot of hair loss especially if they are tender headed. It will cause hair loss simply because their hair isn’t thick enough or strong enough to withstand the braids. Otherwise if you are a caucasian and wanting to do box braids go for it but just be aware of hair loss.
Thats always the case with any hair texture or any culture because tension alopecia is very common among African American women.
smile and scroll yalll ... smile and scroll !

Really pretty braids😍
I do hair all hair when u have an occupation as a stylist it doesn't matter who your client is just do a lovely job and that you did
it’s not that white ppl can’t have the style it’s just that the styles can damage their hair bec of their texture i just wouldn’t rlly recommend it but ITS YOUR HAIR DO U BOO ALL LOVE FROM MADDY❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ok but thats our hair we dont come at yall for straightening your hair even though it damages it
Im mixed but have done box braids twice. I get told im "too white" but it doesnt really matter. Just acknowledge that its typically only a black hairstyle and not your own, know your history about it , nothing wrong with trying something new if you think its pretty. I wouldnt be mad if someone tried to do their hair like me or dress like me. The first time i got them done by 3 of my black friends and this last time i did it by myself, took 13 hours but didnt look bad at all😁 im gonna try slightly bigger this time, just ordered 58in braiding hair.
You aint BLACK. Not your own braids nor culture you're white
@@y2kyanni128 doesn't matter if she's fully black or not. As long as they respect the background, understand the culture, doesn't disgrace it. I believe it's fine. I'm mixed as well. I have very fine hair, I get it from my moms side, but that doesn't stop anyone from enjoy braids. At the end of the day it's just braids unless they are going around mocking everything that goes by. Anyone willing to sit in a chair for hours I'm sure enjoys the hairstyle enough to respect it. 🤷♀️ get off your high horse please.

My daughter is biracial, but has mostly caucasian hair. When I tried to give her box braids, her own hair would stick out the braid. How do I tuck her natural hair in so it doesn't stick out? I tried putting product on it, but it didn't help.
For fly aways, I use water or gel while I braid the hair. And I try to tuck the hair in the extensions when I braid. I also like to apply styling mousse when am done braiding. Hope this helps
I really like the way you secured the hair by braiding the root first. 😊
I wanted box braids for ever but I'm mixed. My mom is black and my dad is white so I look full "white" because I have no tan at all to my color. The only thing is my hair. I have 3c curls but my hair is thin. So people tend to tell me that I'm not black enough or I'm to white.
I know I'm Hella late. But I get it. I am a caucasian jamaican. When people see my locks I often hear the cultural appropriation argument, which is very shallow. Do what you wanna do man. The people who matter, will accept.
and anyways girl why u gotta like so many comments to cover up the ones that show this is cultural appropriation whether a white or black person was doing this yeti's hair like dat
im hispanic so i dont have a saying in ANYTHING of this but i truly believe that everyone and everything should be allowed to wear and do whatever they please. as long as their not hurting anyone physically or mentally. much love to all men and women and others out there. have a nice day!💙💙
Shut up
Yes thank you
Just saying box braids are not meant for your hair but it’s your hair so you can do whatever you want with it
I'm white, I've done my research, I'm well informed and I've thought about this for awhile, thought I might get some negative feedback I really admire this hairstyle and I think I'm going to do it. Thank you for all the lovely ladies in the comments

wtf are these comments …
I'm Mexican and had box braids done 2 different times when I was in Africa, this is my experience... I loved them and they looked absolutely beautiful. I got compliments and stares literally everywhere I went. I feel like a literal Queen with this hairstyle.. I washed my scalp every 3-4 days which was fine. I used gel to control any flyaways or cut them if it was the fake hair, used a protective cover for my hair at night. I took them out after 2 months. A small hand size of hair came out but this is normal for hair types like mine because there's no natural hair fall + any broken hair. Would I do it again? Yes but keep them for a shorter time. 2-3 weeks is enough just to have this style, I understand that it's not meant for "Caucasian" hair because there's no benefit like it has for African hair but I enjoyed the style so much. Oh and it took 5 hours the first time, I had two women doing my hair sometimes 3. The second time it took 6 and half hours.. two women and they had babies sometimes needing attention.
I heard that it had the same benefit for straight hair, It’s protective.
@@Shadow_Siren69 unfortunately it doesn't... It's damaging.
My hair is naturally blonde, and it breaks plus I have alopecia arie. I have been told that braids will help protect my hair.
I would expect to have a clump of hair come out when removing the braids; after all a human loses, 75 to 150 hairs a day.
@@number1dutchkid the weight of the braids pulls on the scalp, when you wash your hair ...the braids get heavier pulling even more on the scalp and even breaking the natural hair in the braids. It makes your hair more sensitive.. is it not protective. Alopecia is from the stress of the scalp so no this will not help you. I recommend scalp oiling and keeping your head warm to create an environment for new hair growth and protect the hair you still have. Covering it up with braids will only prolong the damage.
@@Kundalini_Goddess thank you for your kindness in educating me. Many Blessings
I’m more worried by the fact that people seem to think that Caucasian people can only have naturally straight hair than by “white people can’t wear box braids” (and I’m mixed)
Yeah, their point is that most white people have pretty fragile hair with not the best texture for it which is true, but we can have pretty rough texture like I have so it's not exclusively for black people. There also are some black people with fragile hair, so they can't wear it as well.
I’m sorry but white people do not have kinky /curly hair which is ideal for braids of course they can do what they want but there hair is not ideal .
@@anniequinton7949 I beg to differ lmao. I'm white with type 4 hair ( either 4a or 4b tbh i cant tell sometimes all the charts are different )
right im out here like hello im white with 3C curls and ive been straightening my hair all my life too pls can i get some of that natural hair movement love 😭
Nova Del Fuego Your hair is most likely not 3c if your fully white
Can we stop calling white people Caucasian ? Because that’s not was Caucasian means !!!
Caucasian people are kurdish people for example or people from Russia , Armenia , Azerbaijan , Georgia and so on ... being caucasian means that you’re from the so called „Caucasus“ and that region does not include countries like germany or england 😂😂 what I’m trying to say is ; using caucasian as a synonym for white people in general is so wrong on so many levels .
real caucasians are still white though
Friendly, amazing and encouraging 🤗thank you
i like that her braid color actually matches with her skin tone
As a white girl with very curly hair I do be wanting these
Such a good tutorial. Thank you so much❤
I honestly do not see an issue in white people braiding their hair. If you have an issue with this as a black individual, it’s actually a very racist thing to think. Imagine being told that you cannot wear a certain hairstyle because you aren’t a certain race?

I'm just gonna say it because I've always thought of this for a longggg time. People are sooo bothered at the fact that she's white getting a certain hairstyle....That it's not right to do so because she isn't a specific race ? Really? I'm just gonna point out that no one says anything to a black person getting a weave or bleaching her/his hair blonde? No huh, that's what I thought. Thank you.
If its NOT YOUR HAIR then MIND YOUR BUSINESS. simple as that.
Okay but blonde hair isn't reserved for just white people, black people can have naturally blonde hair and blue eyes.
So it goes both ways then. Braids don't originate from only Africa. It's founded in many cultures. It's pretty annoying seeing ppl trying to act like they're entitle to a certain hairstyle...when it's just hair omg. And regardless of what many will think, women will do whatever they want to their hair whenever they please. So it's best to stop complaining, only stressing themselves out cause most likely the white woman braiding her hair isn't gonna care what a black lady has to say...more like a black lady getting her weave or bleaching her hair. It goes both ways. So childish seeing arguments about something so simple as hair.
entitlement is a disease huh.... regardless of what anyone has to say about ANYONE'S HAIR. they're gonna do whatever the fuck they want to their damn hair. Get over it, plain and simple.
@EITERNITTY SHULER girl, I know enough to see how childish this entitlement over hair is.
I dont know why half of these comments are about white people not supposed to be having boxbraids.. just shut up and let people do what ever they want with there hair. Theres nothing wrong with having box braids! Everyone has the right to do them whenever. Stop being racist towards blacks or whites. We are all human and deserve the same rights and respect regardless of hair style or hair type. Heck. I'm Mexican and I want box braids myself. It's just a hairstyle and anyone can have it if they want to.. and for those who are out there having people tell u that u shouldnt. Ignore them they are racist jerks and do what u wanna do. Have a nice day

I don't think she should have put Caucasian hair in the title it's just straight hair because so many black women judge white women for wearing braids or whatever is considered black hairstyles but we don't say anything when black woman wear straight weave 🤔
black people can have straight hair naturally what are you talking about sis
beccoo white people can have curly hair what are we talking about sis
But they can't naturally have thick coursed 4c hair/afro

People are saying that "there is nothing wrong with it" or "im African American and im okay with it" still it holds alot of are history and it doesn't matter if your okay with it it made for a certain type of hair. and it isn't something we can just pass around like its a toy it's apart of a culture and this is not culture appreciation as a black girl i don't not like this at all🙄
She's probably best without extensions but any race can braid. If this is the case then ppl with course hair shouldn't put on straight, fine weaves or wigs.
