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 ❤️🌸

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

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

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 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 thought she called them "Bo derek braids"

@@karinajohnson4443 yeah and boxer braids

Karina Johnson I thought Kylie did that 😭🤣

Lol

Cherry ASMR 😂😂😂

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

Sio Head same!

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

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 😊

Kenji Taguiam 😂💀I feel bad for laughing. She looks mad💀😅😅😢

Oh snap hahahaha

😂

Tea

Lol ya me to😂😂😂

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 .-.

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.

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

Omg!! God yaaaasssss

Yes

Joey PepperBish *One world, One people*

Except the wealth.

@@cincybest Cause communism and socialism has always ever worked on a large scale

cincysbest babe your mind

not really lol, like n-word?

The Frenchiest Fry I agree!! She would be so informative too!!

She does look beautiful

Zyaria Wright true but not if they know what they’re doing with hair that aren’t coarser than ours

Kinda True​ but​ most asian​s​ 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

she has a miley cyrus voice :P

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

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

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.

Oh and Eden needs to start a RU-vid channel!

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

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.

No afro hair and Black, don't do it frr, they always look weirddd, not your hair type too

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

saruni lin yes it is

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

not everything, why you want it to be shared so bad, some are highly significant

@@afroclouds wdym

@@Ruby.Summer almost all of them when I watched were bad, some of them are gone though

J O lmao does it hurt? I mean when I got braids, my head didn’t hurt😂 I must not have a tender head

Thank you that's all I have seen aswell

In southeast and east Asia this is apart of the culture too :)

@@tydolla5ign no box braids are not apart of their culture. 💀

S. Moore soo true!!

S. Moore And why you’re sims look so old😐

It happens all of the Time you should do some research here on RU-vid 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

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”

Dayshaa Nicole Jones we do relate! My bf is black and our families are super similar other than the food ofc😂

And girlll Chinese and Japanese are Asian countries lol
