    Big thanks to Eden for braiding my hair and sharing her culture and experience with me. If you want to learn more about the history of African hair braiding, check out our previous hair braiding video (link is in my description.) We should all embrace and learn about each other’s cultures and not be divided by our skin colours or how we wear our hair. Appreciate not appropriate- who’s with me?

      @CrystalCritter Its all in the history. Black women were told to wear their hair straight in order to get jobs, and that our natural hair is "nappy" , "unattractive ", "unprofessional", "distraction" etc. Also no one is trying to look white or Asian. We can straighten our hair without a wig or weave, but because of the racist system many black women have gone to damage their hair with relaxers, which has taken length, volume, edges, and more. Black girls in south Africa were told that certain natural hairstyles were against school dress code. This was all built by whites. And your hair has never been apart of your culture so we aren't appropriating anything. Braids were a way for black women to spend time with their children during slavery and teach them stuff.. stuff the white people wanted to take away. So while I may not know about where all my people come from because they were violated , and kidnapped. Braiding hair is one thing I can connect with them on. When black women go to by hair we dont by "white girl hair". They sale Indian, Brazilian and other hair because its seen as smoother n what not. Latinos, Hispanics, and more dont complain from what I know and their hair is straight. Idk what white culture even is. I'm not trying to be mean, but many dont know what yall consider culture. So how can we ever appropriate it? Plus black women aren't the only ones wearing wigs or straightening their hair. Some white women have curls, but don't like it so yall straighten it out. Plus Asian women of all backgrounds tend to have styles that represent their culture... it's not necessarily the texture like yall are pointing out. We have styles for out own culture. What is yours? Genuinely asking I swear. Also... we have had something called the "natural hair movement " where we try to get our people to embrace their hair again, but I know so many blacks they have been so brainwashed they cant ever go natural. It's so sad. One more thing... some just do it as a protective style 😊

    Tina you're the ultimate "beauty guru" in my opinion. You cater to everyone, even though we aren't of the same race, nationality (FYI I'm Ethiopian) or culture i know i can get tips from you that i can use for myself as well like this braiding video. You're very talented and you seem like a sweet person as well. Keep up the great work, you're an absolute fav!

    As a Native American person, I get kind of miffed when people just sling around the phrase cultural appropriation. Seriously, there is a difference between appreciating something other people made, and celebrating it, compared to stealing it and profiting off of it. Mad respect that you went to a black woman to get the style done and talked about the history and culture of it, as well as asking about her own experience with her natural hair. I love when you make the effort to educate yourself and your channel about other traditions.

    I love how supportive this woman was. I recently went to a hairdressers which my black friend recommended to me since I wanted box braids, I did my research on it and when I went to the hairdresser, she gave me the dirtiest look ever and said ‘you’re not allowed these braids because you’re not black’ honestly it made me so sad but I’m happy I found this video and people who are okay with cultural appreciation, if we share this appreciation, we can all learn more about other cultures and nothing like this would have to happen

    My best friend is from Kenya and I love to watch her get her hair braided by her mom. The first time they dipped her hair in boiling hot water, I was a little freaked out, but now I'm used to it and it makes sense. She says that the best hair to get is authentic Kenyan extensions. She told me that they're more realistic rather than feeling plastic and fake, but I understand this is all up to opinion. I always tell her that I love how she can change her hair to so many different styles and colors while still keeping it semi-healthy. I truly do love learning about her culture and after we finish university in two years, we plan on visiting her village in Kenya.
