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?
Tina Yong this hairstyle isn’t for you tho.... honestly you shouldn’t have
Tina Yong 🙋♀️🙋♀️
blink -l she’s trying new things. And who are you to talk
You look so precious, you really are appreciating it 💜
Learning about hairstyles should never be wrong
People will get offended no matter what
Don't listen to them
Lots of love ❤️🌸
LMAO anyone else go directly to the comments to see if there was any controversy
MEEEEEEE!!
Glad to see there is none.
Eh i came to see how she turned her hair from brown to black xD i tot she used a wig 🙆 (im halfway thru the vid rn btw)
@@kexinn4887 I guess bc she started braiding extensions from the roots that why the brown got mixed
me
This is a video displaying cultural appreciation, thanks for educating yourself on African braiding
Jayde She said appreciation
Jayde you can't read.
Exactly. Braids are a huge thing in the culture of black people from all around the world. From Africa, to the Caribbean, to the Americas. She's well knowledged on the culture of braids and respects it. This is appreciation.
Braids are not from black cultures. Braids and dreadlocks were a way of hairstyles waaaaaaaay back in the day. WE as a black society have documented it as first. Ya'll need to stop this shit. It is a hairstyle.
Well it looks like jayde deleted her comment
At least you didn't call them boxer braids.
You know who you are Kim Kardashian.
I thought she called them "Bo derek braids"
@@karinajohnson4443 yeah and boxer braids
Karina Johnson I thought Kylie did that 😭🤣
Lol
Cherry ASMR 😂😂😂
This is how it's supposed to be done. Different cultures are lifting each other up. I wish this would happen more world wide.
I agree we need this more.
The problem is that if anyone does this, there will always be many people who call it ‘culture appropriation’.
@@amiroyasarya6360 People wouldn't call it cultural appropriation if you(not you personally) gave back to the culture(Black culture).
Not really
@@R.Yvette.X. thats the problem, people assume as soon as they see someone who doesn’t match the skin color they imagine uses something from another culture it’s appropriation, they don’t bother to ask.
I haven’t even finished the video itself, but I’m so happy with the comments section. Everyone is mature and I don’t see many people attacking her yet.
True...
Yet lol
Mariah Henderson they are
Because she Asian duhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯 black people love Asians 😍😍 ps they got the hook up on the weave at the hair store
Why do white people always comment and say irrelevant racist things when nobody is being racist or rude 😂 plus she's Asian this has nothing to do with you lol Just us Asians and blacks WTF
Did some of you not hear the conversation Tina had with the girl doing her hair?! She DID study the culture and is NOT mocking it. It looks beautiful Tina!
I just want to tell that the braids are not only in African culture braids are also in Asian culture too
@@chxrry1009
Thank you I was waiting for someone to say that.
looks like people need to go educate theirselves even more now!
People have forgot or don't even know the ancient Asian hairstyles, they were *braids!*
@@chxrry1009 braids were litteraly first discovered in India. people are just bwing stupid
@@chxrry1009 Exactly. And your username is my favourite song 😜
Ikr! Braids has always been in Asian culture. Kids from my country always in braids since I was a kid until now! Like they always go to school in braids. Even teenagers! Never knew that its a black culture.
I love the fact that she calls them by the right name...get it done by the right person and goes out Of her way to be educated on the culture....thank you Tina. That’s all we want.
I don’t normally comment on CZcams videos, but I have such so much respect for you Tina. You educate yourself on the topics you share with the world and you genuinely immerse yourself into cultures you experience. It’s very heartwarming to see how excited and eager you are to acquire knowledge of other countries and cultures. Keep up the good work❤️
As long as person genuinely appreciate a culture then its ok to share with others
How are you supposed to know? You can't know truly just from a pic on instagram. This was a full vid but not everyone is going to do that.
yeah until there’s a white girl posting with braids and everyone is bashing her¿
No i dont need to appreciate anything to do my hair the way i want. No1 tells black women who wear straight wigs to appreciate other cultures (how stupid and dumb?)
@@unapologeticbooty if she's acting like it's her culture that's the issue.
@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 😊
Glad lots of people can tell the difference between cultural appreciation and appropriation. Love ya Tina
Sio Head same!
11:35 the lady at the back got ignored and her reaction killed me!!!
Kenji Taguiam 😂💀I feel bad for laughing. She looks mad💀😅😅😢
Oh snap hahahaha
😂
Tea
Lol ya me to😂😂😂
I see a lot of positive comments saying that this is cultural appreciation but why is it that if anyone takes a photo with box braids or even performs with box braids, why do people immediately jump to the conclusion that it is cultural appropriation.
Yes, so true! I don’t wanna get box braids because that’s just not my style, but If I wanted to, I would be too scared to get them. Because I feel like everyone who would see me on the street and such, would think it’s cultural appropriation. Even though they’ve no clue if I’ve educated me about the braids and the culture. That I’m respectful over the culture and are just appreciating it.
Because she just genuinely appreciates our culture, but others they use it for clout and their against the black lives matter. As long as you're educated and you respect us, there is no problem with it. We appreciate it even more
Ketsia gadeau Look but how do you know anyone’s heritage btw? I am part Morrocan and while we aren’t black North africans had cornrows. Moreover i do support BLM genuinely and i know the history of braids
Rihanna Rihanna if u follow them, most people who call them out are there follwers
Oml I wanted to get box braids but here pple just make fun of it so my mom isn't allowing me to get it
Some times I feel like ripping my hair off cos of the way it is only when I do small section of braids it is manageable .-.
Idk why people are saying they are waiting for Tina to receive backlash. I'm black and I watched the whole video and immediately saw that Tina was being really respectful about my culture and trying to learn more about it as well as appreciate it. She does not deserve any negative backlash.
chiminie chim well you know how people are...they’ll see the thumbnail/title, make a snap judgment...if they actually sat down and watched, they’d see.
As always bts stans stay winning
ARMY!!
CrystalCritter I’ve never heard of black ladies relaxing their hair to look white or Asian 😂 I know that people relax there hair so they can achieve different styles they couldn’t with their natural hair or just to make it easier to manage
People are overreacting at everything
Love that you acknowledged that box braids on Black women was seen a negative. Ive always loved box braids, they've always looked beautiful.
If you aren't black and you start getting black hairstyles you do run the risk of losing hair because our hair is naturally thick and/or coarse.
Zyaria Wright true but not if they know what they’re doing with hair that aren’t coarser than ours
Kinda True but most asians have thick hair too (i have thick hair too but it gets thinner and thinner bc i bleach/color it too much hahahah)
Well then you might want to be careful when u straighten ur hair because that damages ur hair
I am Asian I really want get box braids for a long time I just love the way they look. But I don’t won’t it damage my hair. Thinking of getting a wig but will that still damage my hair if I get it swen on
True but braids are also part if the culture in Indonesia and they last on Indonesian hair. I'm part Indonesian on my mom's side and she would always put my hair in cornrows before a trip or vacation and they would last for a long time. I really want to do a full head of box braids on myself soon.
13:06 TINA LOOKS SO POWERFUL IN THIS SHOT OMG
Omg!! God yaaaasssss
Yes
People who give backlash should watch the video first and see how this is the opposite of appropriation. She is spreading the culture, not stealing it
Yes you're right but it's not as simple as you think...
People who think they have the right to tell other people they have to share their culture should go educate themselves.
WhatReallyMatters sharing isn’t a bad thing tho, why shouldn’t people share their culture with others. Sometimes it’s a wonderful thing to see other people understanding and appreciating it. It’s a great way for people to learn of and understand one another
After spreading they’ll claim it theirs
Arielle RC everyone came from Africa anyways.
Guys. Let’s thank Alfred for standing there for three hours and filming
Box braids are seriously an art form . It’s a hard style just to learn . And they are BEAUTIFULLLLL .
THIS is cultural appreciation! I got a bit nervous when I saw the title but after watching I’m very relieved with the way you approached it and it looks beautiful.
It’s hilarious how your comment matches your icon.😂
@@Ilovevedios44 ksjskjs I get that a lot...
A Kpop multifandom it’s a hairstyle, people need to calm down
@@lleah2839 yeah, but as long as people don't take it as their own (like Kim K) it's all good
0_0 but a person should know if it’s appropriate for them to wear something outside of their culture like this isn’t it
“It’s 2019, everything is being shared”
Preach it girl

@@cincybest Cause communism and socialism has always ever worked on a large scale
cincysbest babe your mind
not really lol, like n-word?
Braids are a beautiful hairstyle that can worn by ANYONE and EVERYONE of ANY RACE! It’s a HAIRSTYLE, for Christ’s sake! She’s not trying to “rachet” or “ghetto”. Why would anyone associate braids with those words? As if they’re negative? She’s just trying a different hairstyle, that’s all. Beautiful hair and beautiful lady! 😍👍🏾
We need more people like you, seriously 🚶🏻♀️
I really wish more people thought like you. I'm white myself, but would really love to have my hair done this way. The only reason I haven't is because I'm worried about getting attacked for it
@@Solace6428 As a white person, I can’t really help you about that because it isn’t a part of my culture but I would see it as cultural appreciation as long as you respect the culture and don’t claim it. This is my opinion
@@Miithekid how could you claim a haisrtyle, nonsense
@@Theclawdeen26 I don’t know, I’m asking myself the same question but people say " DON’T CLAIM THIS HAIRSTYLE THIS IS NOT YOUR CULTURE " so apparently claiming is a thing now
wow, the information the woman shared while braiding your hair was so intriguing! I loved the braids by the way, you look great.
Not only does Tina do a great job of highlighting cultural acceptance, but can we talk about how she is supporting a business owned by a BRILLIANT and BEAUTIFUL black woman entrepreneur!!! 💖✨ Eden is amazing!!
OMG EDEN SHOULD 100% MAKE A CZcams CHANNEL, I LOVED WATCHING HER AND LISTENING TO HER SHE'S SO NICE AND PRETTY
The Frenchiest Fry I agree!! She would be so informative too!!
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
Yes but u kinda cant wear it as hairstyle that's why we get mad but I dont my reactions is a wooow and then I get to history
@@persislydia5232 I want to get my hair braided but I'm worried about being turned away for being white. I want to go to a natural shop to get them done to support black business, especially since it's their hairstyle. I have my hair already, I'm just so nervous to reach out to a stylist.
@@persislydia5232 it will hurt because the first 2 days are soooo bad because you can't bend over otherwise it hurts so bad and it feels so heavy but after a few days its okay
Isnt it racist if they dont wanna do it just because youre white? Bc of your skin colour they assume youre not educated? Thank god america isnt the world. In my first trip to africa i got box braids done and i dont remember it being such a crime.
@@amber4305 You probably will get turned down but depending where you are who you want them done by you probably wont ,so it really depends also the reasoning you want them . Is it's because trendy if you yes don't even bother, is it because you ant to look good? if yes don't even bother, id it because you love black culture? if yes them get them. But I will worn you a lot of black people will be REALLY mad only to that fact that whites kicked us out of school,we lost our jobs and were killed due to these braids. So watch out. But I think you should get them If you really appreciate our culture
I would usually be pissed but this made me so happy 😭not only did she get her hair done beautifully but she also was interested in the culture ❤️u go !
Box braids are also apart of southeast and east Asia :)
Anyone can wear braids. Knowing the culture or not❤😁
Do I have to study bout yr culture if I wanna get my hair done in a certain way ???
No offense just asking
Reading comments from black girls saying that Tina look beautiful with those braids makes me really happy 💕
She does look beautiful
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.
What does being a native american have to do with anything
@@nuages8915 Because a), it's important to let people know where you're coming from and b), we know a great deal about having our cultural traditions stolen and used for profit. I know what both appropriation and appreciation look like and understand the difference between them. A lot of people do not.
Reena people mock and disrespect native American culture very often so she probably mentioned it to show that she has her own personal connection with the issue.
@@saruniz ^^^^^ this indeed.
@@theekaa7705 How do you know that she's not Native American? Just based on her profile photo? You have no right to tell someone they're not a certain race AT ALL
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!
Eden was so beautiful and her style 💕😍😍😍
Who agrees ??
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 love that you appreciate our culture❤️😌✨
Aww that's so cute💕
This comment is wholesome af and I hope you do get to visit her village soon. :D
I just got box braids today and I’m high key happy that me and Tina are twinning 😭😭😌😌
hi
what is the care of braided hair?
i live for kim seokjin's forehead You should put oil is your hair and wash after a couple weeks
@@shanikabrown845 thank you, my hair is like tina's and im afraid it wont last long
i also love how open you are to learning about braiding and the culture because many people are quick to get the style because they think it looks pretty but they don’t know the history. thank you for educating others!
If anyone labels this cultural appropriation... 🤷🏻♀️ they didn’t watch it
"Sharing not Stealing" 3 simple words that need to become the way of thinking for all. The Negative has been....now it's time for the Positive.
Ur so ignorant are you even black it’s our culture not just anyone can get box braids it’s really disrespectful but u guys are not going to listen to a black person about how we feel how how many people keep culture appropriating a culture and saying it’s just hair
Love this hairstyle on you! Learning & sharing cultures is a beautiful thing xo
I m African, and honestly all this sensibility about hair is a thing only for afroamericans, for us people using our hairstyles is a good thing
Donia Mehdi Well Americans are annoying
the sensibility comes from being discriminated against for our hairstyles obviously
I’m an black American and it’s not that we don’t want other races or cultures to get their hair braided it when the culture vultures come into play then we don’t want them to rock the style cuz then they are using it for clout and trying to say its part of their culture and their culture made that hairstyle. That’s why we get skeptical with videos like this because it’s not that we don’t want to share our culture we just don’t want ignorant people to wear the hairstyle
I'm African, and you should really shut up when Americans complain about appropriation because you don't know anything about it
Donia Mehdi dame thought. I think black Americans are very sensitive (which is understandable considering history) but as an African myself I’m not bothered by other races doing their hair like us.
Eden literally has the most beautiful smile... totally love her🧡🧡🧡
Eden's voice is so lovely. As is her view on sharing cultures with pride.
she has a miley cyrus voice :P
Could you film on how your hair looks when you take them out? I'm really curious to know if it affects straight thin hair
I had them before and the braids will slip out of your hair
ilovepink22 02 they don’t damage your hair? How long did you have them?
@@decockzoe i couldn't have them for long because I had to wash my hair very often my hair was not damaged tho
It’s like braiding your hair and getting crimps in it lol and it washes out in a wash
I don’t recommend it honestly because u might loose hair, and have damage
I used to perform with the girl on the right in the patterned top! She’s really nice and was always good at doing braids
Let’s share and appreciate each other’s cultures. Don’t mock, claim, or talk down other races. Let’s all come together as human beings and not let skin or hair texture divide us. But it’s sad because there’s still people who get offended over nothing even when the person wrote a 100 page paragraph about the hairstyle. I’m glad people are learning the different between appropriation and appreciation.
No afro hair and Black, don't do it frr, they always look weirddd, not your hair type too
When I saw the thumbnail I was like wait...but after watching I love how you’re actually educated unlike a lot of other people who just don’t care and you also acknowledge where they came from💓
I was say something but now that I think about I’m glad you want to know about different hairstyles and your still acknowledging where it came from..so yea.i hope everyone understand that you meant no harm
Has anyone ever looked at a comment and thought "dang i wish i thought of that"
She looks beautiful and I see nothing wrong with the video💓
i like how she actually educated herself about it instead of just doing it (thanks for all the likes. beautiful people) my snap is prin17389
Princess 17389 totally
CrystalCritter black people can have naturally straight hair just like other races can have naturally tighter curls.
Do you consider "just doing it" without educate herself first is disrespectfull?
ים ליפשיץ yes that’s culture stealing
No I don’t think it’s disrespectful because it’s just hair. But that’s my opinion. ים ליפשיץ
All I see in the comments are about how she's going to get backlash, but I dont actually see backlash.
I think they're all being deleted
There was none. She did everything right.
Sophia Me too😅
@@Nobody-tj9jo Nah girl, that's only your hair. My black kinky hair is beautiful.
She's not going to get backlash because we appreciate how she went about this. She went to black stylist, acknowledged how society treats us in our natural hair, and educated herself and her audience. Tina is the best.
I got my braids yesterday, watching this video makes me more happy.❤❤ you look so amazing.
As a caucasian woman I grew up wearing my hair in cornrows and braids. I have frizzy hair and it was one of the easiest ways for me to manage, so I love what you both are doing. This is awesome!!!
Oh and Eden needs to start a CZcams channel!
You look so good! Love the braids on you! Thank you for appreciating it 🥺💕
when is eden gonna drop that eyeshadow tutorial? mama is blended to the GAWDS
Who else flinched when Tina touched the girls braids lmaooooo my head jerked back and everything but Tina was very nice and respectful and did her research prior
J O lmao does it hurt? I mean when I got braids, my head didn’t hurt😂 I must not have a tender head
can we have an open, positive and respectful discussion about WHY she had to get the box braids? obviously Tina understands the struggles and culture that come with box braids, which is really the most important part so what’s the point of getting them if she already understands? let’s discuss:)
One Day at a Time This segment on her channel is called “Tina Tries it” where she educates her viewers on a topic then gets it done just to show the experience
Kitty Luv yeah LOL i guess you’re right huh! tbh i would much rather see her trying to LEARN how to braid hair rather than wearing it bc when she talks about the injustices of non blacks getting away with box braids and then getting them herself seems a bit contradictory
Thanks for sharing different hairstyles and techniques!! ❤ Such a beautiful look!
I’d totally watch her channel!!! She seems so incredibly intelligent and not only that but very sweet, just a genuinely good person. I don’t have Instagram but I’d 100% watch her CZcams videos. I’m already obsessed with black hair channels even though I’m as white as they come 😂
The issue I have with people outside black getting braids is they completely forgot to credit black people and seem extremely ignorant. But I like this because shes so aware and listened well to this girl talking. Educate yourselves people!!!
On the contrary, cornrows, box braids, twists, dreadlocks, etc are all hairstyles that many white cultures (like the Pictish, Celtic, Nordic, and Saxon) have had for thousands of years...these sorts of braids didn't originate with black people.
Emma Am what about many people who subconsciously culturally appropriate Asian cultures and what the Asian traditions include? We don’t get recognition for it but we also get made fun of for it all of the time but you don’t see us complaining on the daily that y’all do it, do you? Do you even see Africans from Africa getting mad that other people get their hair braided or the sorts? No. They embrace it. Asian people are also more lenient about the cultural appropriation, so maybe we should have an uproar about it too?? Lmao y’all ain’t the only ones getting attacked tbh, ours is more lowkey but everyday also. Educate yourself on other people’s struggles instead of just your own.
But it’s not even appropriate for her to wear them bc we still get discriminated for our hairstyles while she gets praised for it?
Sammi Sae you’re not black so we wouldn’t expect you to know anything about black issues
Tookie Baloo, it originated from Africa and we adapted to it due to our hair textures. Europeans and Asians hair does not grow like our hair, we need braids, moisture to be able to grow out our 4C hair. Our ancestors had this long before the Europeans and human life started in East Africa about 100,000 years ago from Homo sapiens. Do ur research
THIS IS CULTURAL APPRECIATION!!!
oh my god... i love it. you look amazing.
Yay another tina tries it!!
I think it's amazing that you experienced this!!!
My daughter wears braids, twists, etc to school. We live in the States. I would be so upset if they discriminated against my daughter for wearing different hair styles.
It happens all of the Time you should do some research here on CZcams search " black girl sent home for braids or fired" and tell me your thoughts
I also live in the states. Ohio specifically. And I am white with a little bit of Hispanic and Asian. Some people say "you're not black you can't wear that" to other races who wear it. I see it a lot. My ex friend Bailey wore braids to school and she's white.
The Mitch Rules I agree.
연준 죄Is_ma_bias_ yeonjun is also my bias
Eden is such a queen! I’ve never hit the follow button so hard and so fast before!!
All cultures, traditions, styles should be shared, not hated or disrespected.
not everything, why you want it to be shared so bad, some are highly significant
@@afroclouds wdym
I want to say that I agree. And I do, honestly. But in America, you get backlash no matter what. You can try to defend yourself and still it will be turned around and you'll be called a racist. I'm so glad some people are more understand than others. I really wanted to do it when I went to Jamaica but decided not to because of the backlash I knew I'd get. And no.. it's not as easy as people say to just "ignore the haters". Its mentally disabling and exhausting defending yourself. But girl. More power to ya.
Not trying to be weird but, Tinas eyes are really pretty what the heck.
Thanks for appreciating our beautiful culture Tina ❤ you look gorgeous.
Cultural appropriation is a thing. This is not an example of that and so far, I think most of us can tell. I think it’s unfortunate people have thrown around that term so loosely because it’s lost some of it’s meaning, but cultural appropriation is still very much present and is just a small piece of a large issue (that issue being racism and ignorance.) 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. There is nothing wrong with participating in a culture as long as you’re being respectful and non-exploitative.
saruni lin yes it is
Yes! Share everything... I didnt know that braids on other races was a bad thing. I grew up with braids because of how frizzy and unmanageable my is. I've never had this many box braids or corn rows, but I would love to try them! Eden you are so kind, thank you for educating us and being so loving! 👍🏻❤🙌
Eden is so beautiful and speaks so eloquently!
I would love to learn more about her, and hear her speak, she's so strong, I love her!
SHE NEEDS A CHANNEL!!!!!
😍😍😍
You look ADORABLE!!! I love how you celebrate the culture. Thank you.
You look STUNNING, Tina!! 😍
Not going to lie, but I let out a small scream when you said you watched Safia!!!!
I saw this and my first reaction was OH MY GOD, I watched the rest of the video and noticed she was teaching herself and others African culture. I love the way you approached this Tina!
I’m always so mesmerised by watching these hair stylists braid their clients hair, looks like such an arm workout too lol 😮😅
no matter what hair style you wear it looks good on you..
I think its nice that she tried a new look its just a hairstyle I'm in no way offended and I'm black, I hope people are kind.
This is why I love watching your videos Tina. This is such a beautiful conversation! ❤
When I saw the thumbnail I felt a bit...bothered, but I trusted you and decided to give it a shot anyway and after actually watching the video, I find myself smiling. Thank you for acknowledging and discussing the issues that black women face and using this opportunity to open a dialogue about this casual racism while also recognizing how some people use it fo cultural appropriation and not appreciation, as you are.
Love your video Tina your really inspiring to me just agnore any haters cause you better that keep being amazing! Congratulations on your engagement by the way I hope you and Alfred are happy together stay awesome
She’s self taught?! That’s AMAZING
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.
Agree, I think more Asian girls should be wearing braids,imo!
@@ez-sf4nk Sis, Just go for it😂 Just say that i needed a protective style and Say "Did you pay for it"😂 that would shut them up lol And I mean people arent use to seeing an Asian girl wearing box braids because they are use to seeing blacks girls and Women wearing them.
@@ez-sf4nk Oh yeah thats true, Your hair type is Softer😉 My mistake, then i think its best to just stick wearing your regular hair, I dont want your hair falling out.👌🏾
Tibetans have braids in their culture too especially micro braids
@@pamcasso09 but they don’t have “BOX BRAIDS”
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!
It looked so good on you 💕 loved how you actually appreciated the culture 💕
Definitely would subscribe to Eden if she makes a YT channel! 💖
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.
Tina totally rocks any type of hairstyles. You and Eden are so beautiful
great video! I remember getting my hair in cornrows when I was a teenager because I wanted to look like Alicia keys.
Love love love the cultural acknowledgement❤️I personally love when things are shared between different people- they look great x
Eden should make basic hair care tutorials for lots of different cultures. She is such an amazing lady ♥️
LOVE THIS AND THAT YOU ACTUALLY CARE TO LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY AND CULTURE!👏🏼👏🏼😍
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.
I've always thought that African hair braiding was beautiful but I didn't know about the history and discrimination. Thank Tina for educating me 😂
Me hitting the comment section immediately to find that one person that would kick start the "CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!" Warcry. 🤳✊
As an African, people really need to chill.
I've followed Eden on insta, she is an amazing artist! Her designs are so intricate and joyful. If I ever get to NSW (I'm Victorian ) I'm booking in a session for my daughter and me!
Hi I am from Mexico City and I love all your videos !!!
This video is one of the reasons why to think you’re amazing
not me seeing this above a black history month ad.. 💀
