    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 😊

    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.

    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.

I hope tina doesn’t get too much backlash because I can tell how she wants people to understand she is being genuine in her appreciation for the culture and has a desire to learn.

    I LOVE how (box)braids look and to me they're works of art. I can't really speak on it much because I'm white, but I wholeheartedly understand why some black people are protective (??) of these hairstyles. When they wear them they'll get labelled as ghetto or even dirty and when non-black people wear them it'll be perceived as cool and trendy. I'm glad Tina is trying to bring more attention and that Eden is more than happy to share the culture.

    Asians look really nice in braids from what I’ve seen from others who have tried the style.

    I don’t know why people are hating on Tina trying box braids. she definitely knows a lot about the culture and history of them and most definitely isn’t doing this because she wants to be somehow racist, but because she shows appreciation for the style. I love you Tina and this video is amazing!

    I love the fact that educate yourself on different cultures and appreciate the cultures on top of that. You’re always growing as an individual and it inspires me. The braids look good on you as well. Please continue spreading positivity and love and educating others.

    Around where I live, if you get any sort of African hair braiding done on your hair but you are anything but black, a lot of people who aren’t, and some who are will criticize you for having them and claim you’re destroying their culture, even if you aren’t doing any harm by it and just want to share it and express your fondness for it.
