It's a shame that black people are the only group of people who doesn't celebrate the DIVERSITY of our hair. We are so content in emulating the European straight hair look, that we have forgotten what OUR own sense of beauty. Our hair is so malleable and the beauty in that is we are able to make different hairstyles given the texture of our beautiful hair. What's wrong with braids??
Why are braids a *** look?
Is BLONDE STRAIGHT long hair a *** look too?
Let's see Aubrey O' Day? Long Straight blonde hair and bi.
Jenna Jameson? Long straight blonde hair and bisexual
The girls from next door? Long blonde straight hair? Both Holly and Kendra are bisexual...
Why are braids considered a "*** look"?
BOX BRAIDS?
WOW, LAST TIME I SAW SOME OF THOSE TAKEN SERIOUSLY WAS 95.
THESE DAYS YOU SEE THE OCCASIONAL DERELICTE OR SOMEBODIES GHETTO MAMA WHO REFUSES TO LET THE EARLY 90'S GO ROCKIN'EM
JADA ACTUALLY PULLS IT OFF THOUGH. SHE IS CUTE ***-E WAY
HER I DON'T GIVE A *** I DO WHAT I WANT AND DO IT WELL ATTITUDE IS SEXY.
@guessjeans
I luv you seriously, but you are like the ying and yang, from one extreme to the next. The reason why your comments don't appeal to the masses of MTO, although you speak some truth the truth is in the messanger, you have a white husband and selling this afrocentric black this and that, that's like me going into a bar and saying talking about the evils of liquor. My point is it is a time and place for everything, and you my friend need to stick to IRR topics and contradicting yourself every now and then. LOL. Still luv you though. peace.
I agree with yummers You can't go wrong with any kinda braids. I think they look beautiful on her. Micros take too effing long to put in and take too effing long to take out. Not to mention they take your hair out. I rock box braids every now and then and my hair is long as hell. Bald chicks need to wear them to restore their hair, lol.
I wear my braids proudly..as long as there is AFRICA... there will be braids!...why take our culture away from us with such negative comments?.....Is it only popular when a model or celebrity wears them?...If you want to "keep up with the times" so to speak, have at it But exactly how do we as women do that?..lemee seeeee....weaves?.wash,dry,conditioned and straightened...perm and fierce cut?....oh wait Dreds!...that's it,right?...becoz other than that...what's left?...faded to bald?.......LOOK braids were here before ya got here and they'll be here after ya leave!...Embrace don't Erase!
@akbar- So let me get something straight. Just because I have an Italian husband I can't be proud of my African-american heritage?!
BTW I have ROCKED micros, silky twist and twisties before and my Husband LOVEs, LOVES, LOVEs afrocentric hairstyles more than he does my relaxed hair!
I'm not feeling where you're coming from. Could you please elaborate
I think she's wearing those out of solidarity because Willow aint got but a lick of hair on her head and has to wear braids. I'm not sure if this is the real reason but I'd do it for my daughter too. Now watch everybody start rocking extensions again! If you live in New York or the tri-state area you should go to 125th Street up in Harlem for the recession special prices on the braids including hair.
shes always lookin beautiful but DAYUM.....ya actin like black folk dont wear box/micro braids these days.....gosh can a girl have a new do without it being a surprise??i mean come on...braids...thats like the 1st thing on someones minds who HATES doing their hair...maybe she tired of doin it for now and she dont want a weave...how bout them apples?? lol
