I see a non-blacks/Africans wearing "cornrolls", "Boxer braids", "Nap balls" and calling it a trend and "it's just hair". It really hurts especially in a community I've been in for 5+ years. Everytime I see cultural appropriation to my culture and call the idols or celebrities out for it, the fans always defense them. I'm getting so tired of it

I think you should try to see it as emulation. They wear those styles cuz they see black people do it and they generally consider black Americans in specific to be cool so they imitate it. Years ago, it's a thing that's completely unheard of, I see it as a good thing. I'm fine with it as long as it's not meant to disrespect us. Also you misspelled "cornrows" lol

Caucasians were never so interested in our hair until recent.....this is why they made it a requirement to go to school to get a braiding license so they could "steal" another culture identity. (Have you all seen and the "black &white" couple commercials?)

Paranoid. There are lots of other sides to this. I've seen plenty of complaints about stylists who don't know how to do textured hair. It's a huge problem in entertainment. The flip side of that is like entry into that segment of the hair industry for black stylists. Regular people are a split. A staunch racist is never going to admit anything positive about textured hair, but it's been clear to me for ages that others are interested by all the "don't touch my hair" comments. Now you see more people openly admitting admiration. Personally, I'd never want that cold flat stuff growing from my scalp.

Many aspects of African American culture and invention have already been absored by the whole of American society. Culture is one of Americas greatest exports and black culture is a part of that. Somehow black people aren't the ones capitalizing the most off of that.

Great video my brother. You got it right. I’m from Igbo just migrated to the States recently. The sad news is that our women will commend this video but still spend the more money than any other people in buying fake hair and Brazilian hair. They judge their beauty by looking like a white woman. Our celebrities are also contributing to this harm. One love motherland.

I love the hair style of Africa women

I am wondering if anybody else had this kind of practice in their family? My grandmother used to save her hair ever since she was a child. She later used to make dolls that were filled with her hair. These black dolls were wonderful for my sister and me because they smelled like my grandmother. She never threw away her hair.
