If anything, it's a compliment that people think that hair style from your culture looks good enough that they want to have the same style. People don't do it to mock another race.
@Chitown606 You got some damn nerve making this a race thang!! You DONT see us talking shit about U BLACK GIRLS getting blue contacts, plastic surgery for a thinner nose, blonde weave, etc oh WAIT!!! That’s a fucking WHITE thang n U black girls shouldn't be a “wanna be” WHITE girl! Do u hear how stupid that sounds? YEP!! YOUR the reason why we still n ALWAYS WILL have racist people!!! Your the prime example!! Soooo sad seriously!!! Let everyone and anyone be who they want, dress as they want, do their hair like they want, etc!! Enjoy LIFE!!!
@Dontplaywitme If you don't shut the fuck up. That was the most stupidest HORSESHIT i've ever read. You are an embarassment to the whole RACE. You should GET A FUCKING LIFE. The reason why it's okay for black women to wear blue contacts, wear "white" haristlyles (which there is no such thing because black women created white people from the very START, you white people are a geneitc mutation. YOU WERE NOT EVEN MEANT TO EXIST.) we black women created all of that. Search up the eve gene, you uneducated, white trash, ignorant, hill billy wananabe black cracker. There is no such thing as being racist to white people either, y'all have no culture NEVER WILL have culture, NEVER MEANT TO EXIST. Black people were the first to walk this earth, after that people spread out from the equator, and got their own skintones, and made their own cultures. EVER heard of the EVE GENE? It's only found in black women, besides don't nobody wanna look "white" we were the ones who created y'all, y'all weren't meant to exist. You can't argue with science. Besides if anything, white girls wanna look like us, they go to get plastic surgery to have big boobs, big asses, skinny waist, big lips, high cheekbones, and also get box braids. THEY WANT TO BE BLACK. In the end you are uneducated and stupid, and stop saying "Thang" you sound even dumber then you look.
The problem with styles like those, is that it was meant for a special kind of hair, your more than welcome to, but it can cause a lot of damage. Such as hair loss, bald spots, residing hair line, etc.
I don’t care if they wear it. But it is annoying that black women with braids are ghetto but white women with braids are trendy. Take that stupid stereotype away and I won’t care.
I think it's fine overall. But it should be done correctly and match their face. Sometimes bigger braids look better than smaller and vice versa. It depends on the person's features. I think they should know before they get it done though so it doesn't look bad. I think these girls pulled it off fine
Really I don’t have any thoughts about it, but I will say take these into consideration if you do decide to get them done: 1.) box braids are heavy (they get heavier when washing), and depending on your hair texture the weight can cause breakage and/or hair loss 2.) I personally wash mine once a week to maintain the style look and to prevent flyaways 3.) when I get box braids done, it takes hours to do so depending on the size. Also since they’re braided tight on the scalp first, it will be painful for a couple days or so.. especially if you’re tender headed.
They aren’t really meant for your hair texture. I mean... box braids were made for a very specific reason and that was to help maintain and grow woolly/rough hair textures... and typically those hair types are found on black girls. But I mean do you honey. Just don’t be surprised if some of your hair gets damaged.
I'm be honest with you. It doesn't matter what I think, or what anyone else thinks. It's about what you think. You and I both know the kind of answers you may get. If you like it go for it. Don't let anyone turn you away from it if you like them that much. 🤗
I don't care honestly I say go for it:) But some things to consider are they might be super itchy when you get them. When I first get my box braids they itch like hell for the first few days. Also they're kinda tight when you first get them and you might get a headache and they might hurt a little to sleep on them the first night. Hmmm also it might take awhile to get them braided for me it take 4 hours with two women braiding and 6-8 hours with one person braiding.
I don't think every white girl can pull them off but that dies not mean you shouldn't try and please try and ignore the hate and any backlash no one specific culture is intitled to a hairstyle rock it like you own it
I think anybody and I mean anybody should be able to dress the way they want or do their hair the way they want it's their body their hair. What's not okay is to hate on anybody and I mean anybody especially us women I'm a White girl and I think black women are beautiful with or with out braids and yes some white girls good with them and some Latina girls do too hell I think all of women are beautiful no matter how we wear our hair But you also at the same time you have understand another person's culture and you shouldn't condemn someone for their culture and wear the same hair that's wrong and it's hurtful if your gonna wear. The same hair give that person's culture some respect or at least be open minded we are all human and we are all apart of this life and we need be standing together not pushing each other way
With the right hairstyle and done correctly so they don't hurt, I think they look great. I have worn them on occasion. I liked it but I had mixed reactions from people.
I used to have yarn braids and SO many people asked to take pictures with me and they seemed to love the look (so did I) BUT I took them out after a month and my hair was sooo dry it took at least a week of deep conditioning to revive it

No, they can wear it- but it’s just one of those things that white people can't steal. They’ll never be able to rock an Afro, braids, dreads or cornrows like a black girl can
It’s not but we can’t control people, it’s their choice. Equally, black women wear straight weaves and relax/straighten their hair all the time. Once black women learn to love nd appreciate themselves and their natural hair then we can protest. But for now, to say white women shouldn’t copy black hair would make them hypocrites.
No, we can't and that annoys me. But black women relax their hair and wear weaves because for centuries black people heard that their hair was ugly and that straight hair was beautiful. White women are only wearing box braids because of Kim Kardashian and because they like to steal other people's cultures. No one ever told them that their hair was ugly.
Don't get them done, it's cultural appropiation, they don't look good on white girls, not only THAT, but your hair will fall out because they are not suited for your hairstyle. Your hairline will recede, you will be made fun of by black people all around, It's not yours, do not take our culture.
I’m not the asker but okay. I don’t recommend the box braids for her because she’s white. White people have straighter hair. Even their “curly” hair is still straight. So the box braids would more than likely damage the hair because they were made to cater to people with rough hair textures.
