you guyz are making a big deal out of nothing..EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN PERSONALITY....whether caucasians have blonde hair and have it straight... and african american's have black hair and wear it in weaves braids etc..WHAT DOES IT MATTER HAIR IS HAIR.....leave it alone..if she wants to get her hair done so be it....just b.c a person is a different color...gender it doesnt matter what her hair looks like as long as the person getting it done likes it. AS FOR YOU PIXIE look at your hair in the pic...it's down striaght kind of does that mean you took it from us.. b.c i bet ADAM AND EVE'S HAIR WERE STRAIGHT AND I BET EVE'S HAIR WAS DOWN or yet look at when jesus was on the cross...his hair was long...
That's not me in the picture,that's Aaliyah.And her hair is in curls.

Vy i tottally agree...i hate when people say stuff like that!!!!! Everone at our school does that even my friends sometime say they act blacker then me......i tottaly take offend to that and think thats a sick thought. Just my opioin though.
Sorry, but I have a real problem with white people taking on black hairstyles. Black people had been plaiting their hair for centuries then along comes Bo Derek with canerow in 10 and suddenly it's cool to have plaits in. The same with make up and a host of other things. White people hijack the best of a non white culture and take it as their own, giving no credit back to the original culture. What really annoys me is the comments white people come out with about black hair and how sticky it is or by asking do you use Vaseline in your hair. Black hair is really difficult to deal with, these comments make my blood boil, and as for the grief with dreadlocks, not allowed to wear them to school and such, you trying living with black hair for a month and tell me how you want to style it. You don't try to understand you just make assumptions, not very fair is it? I think you shoud stick to your wash and go hair.
I think that people should not be so racist! Hair has no race.
>>You don't try to understand you just make assumptions, not very fair is it? <<
Who is making assumptions?
She said nothing about how anyones hair is sticky!
I think, girl, if you wanna have braids-do it! If any girls give you any smack about it, tell 'em to **** off. Nothing ******es me off more when people try to put a race on things; "Oh those are BLACK clothes" or "That's a white hairdo". I put my hair in a French Twist for work- I guess I must be trying to be white.

What ever makes you happy , you like braids..............go for it , no one has the right to tell you how to wear your hair , it's just fashion , if it looks good on you go for it.
i''m as white as can be with blue eyes... i represent Eastwick NJ and i work in Brick City *which is newark* and me and my sis are the only two white people in our whole office and i walked in with my hair braided and they all loved it....people who are black and don''t like it oh well too bad....my mom has been braiding my hair forever....a braid is a braid whether you look like bo derek or pippy longstocking, braids are braids...so to black people who take offense don''t worry that we''re trying to steal or be apart of your culture, you don''t see me getting upset because beyonce got highlights and a perm to make her hair straight...i don''t think she''s trying to be white....damn it''s just a hairstyle

Again, no one is "white" or "black."
You can try to be any color, whether you're painting yourself or not, but you still won't be anything under that besides dark brown, medium brown, light brown, or pale. That's about it..
..also, are there moderators here? Can this thing be locked? Anyone, regardless of your color (although you still can't be white or black), can wear any type of hairstyle. If you think otherwise, you are EXTREMELY IGNORANT, CLOSE-MINDED, and you need to be dealt with accordingly.

lol..i think its kinda funny that this thing went on so long..why did she even ask?..lol..if you want braids..wear them proud if you dont..uhh..dont..but..you gotta do what you want..not what other ppl expect..so..yeah..lol..i love all you guys..and bye simone
I can settle this whole conversation. It depends on the person. I've seen black girls with braids and think to myself (Uh-uh Gurl should've gone there.) Sometimes I see white gurls and say the same thing.
But, sometimes I see black girls and white gurls with their hair in braids and think (Oo that's such a cute hair style.)
Although, the number #1 factor is..People are smart enough to do whatever they feel like doing. If the white and black girl love their braids, their gonna keep doing it no matter what anyone says. It's about their self esteem and what makes them feel beautiful. The only person who should feel sorry is the girl who is blinded by what someone says about their hair.
It is a sign of admiration that prompts emulation. Have you ever heard that flattery is the sincerest form of admiration. Well, Black Peoples have been copied since the beginning of time. After all, we are the originators of so many things... think mathematics, etc. So, it stands to reason that we are still being emulated... in music, in culture, in the esoteric fullness of our lips and bottoms.... c'mon you guys!!! It's just more of the same. WE ARE A RACE TO BE EMULATED. A RACE TO BE ADMIRED. Seeing other races rush to say what we say, wear what we wear, listen to what we listen to, be like we are..... need I say more?
like G, i totally agree. but not only that, most white people look, no offence to african/jamaican ethnics, but they look really trampy with it, like they're really tryinna look hard and cool like a gangsta or somert. I am mixed race, and look very white; yes i admire african/jamaican braided hair, but i wouldnt have it because it wouldnt suit me. it just does not suit white/fair skinned people. unless you are dark skinned, it looks well trampy, like a greebo. you should, afterall, get a hairstyle that suits you, tat goes with your face shape; n fuk all d people that say "its not a black thing, anyone can have it , its your hair you can do what you want with it", coz ur just stupid. and another thing, i cried when i say the oscars and heard Halle berries speach.... im not of african/jamaican ethnic, (im mixed race, half english half kurdish) but it really moved me!
i think that u shouldnt lable people like blacks or whites cause really on the inside we are the same. i mean i wore my hair in braids and i didnt look the least bit *trampy* i think that ur just being a little rasist there. i mean maybe ti originated in africa with the african ppl but that doesnt mean that, that is THEIR hair style
>>> i think u should do it and dont care what other ppl think-- its ur hair do what u want
Cornrows are an African hairstyle, by the way. I can honestly say I've never seen one Whitegirl or Whiteboy with Dreadlocks, or Cornrows, without thinking "That looks stupid". I don't think that because I'm racist, like some of you may think, but because it DOES infact look stupid.
I mean I'm half black/half white myself, My mothers side is the white side and that's the family I live with, I have African hair, and I think that it is pretty hard to deal with. I've been growing it for around 8 months now, and every day when I go to sleep, after looking like a perfect afro a few hours earlier, it goes flat on the sides and needs another 45 minutes or so of me getting it back together again before school. Even my mother agrees that whites should never dreadlock or cornrow their hair. And she's anything but a self-hating racist, she's just wise.
I'm not saying cornrows look idiotic on every white male or female, I'm just saying that around 95% of the time they probably do... And Dreadlocks probably about 99% of the time, unless they're very short, less than shoulder length. You just shouldn't get them if they don't suit you.
I'm planning on getting cornrows soon, but only because I can't stand having an Afro in such a white neighborhood in the country of Australia, and in school everywhere I go I hear "Is that a wig??" or I get 5 people coming up to touch it. Therefore, me changing my hairstyle to something all races can get, will make my hair appear less unique to them, and cornrows will be easier to care for. But then again the school is probably going to complain about them saying that cornrows are an "Extreme" hairstyle, and request for me to get them removed.
So really, I have a valid reason to get them. Because they will be easier to care for, they probably won't look bad, and the whites in my school won't be so obsessive over it asking me 100s of questions about it per day.
And for all of you saying that Black Celebrities are getting their hair straightened and colored, saying that if you get cornrows it isn't anymore like you trying to be black then it is them trying to be white... well chances are they get it straightened because it's SO much easier to care for, takes less time, less painful to uncurl, etc, etc, if they wanted to be white, why would people that have done it, like Lil Kim, appear to have so much African-American pride?? And the other thing is, Straight hair is NOT a white hairstyle, and cannot, and should not, be labelled as 'White Hair'. Many, Many races have straight hair, not just the whites, but not many Races have hair as Kinky as the African/Jamaican descent. Hence, your argument over that is just moronic and invalid.
I just want to say, if you're white, getting cornrows or whatever done, because I'm not saying it should never be done by them, it's just that I do not recommend it, do it because you want to, not to prove a point or to try to act like an ethnicity you're not. And I only say that because There's a lotta wiggers (black wannabes) out there, I should know, hearing so many people everyday saying to me "Oh I wish I had hair like that" and seeing them emulating styles of which are not their own. Another thing I do not like about whites and cornrows is that if I got them some day and came to school, and then a week later 3 other whites came to school with them, Not because they wanted to be like me, but simply because it was their choice and they like the way they like, my school would blame ME for influencing others to get hairstyles of which they do not condone. (Australian schools can be pretty damn racist).
And plus straight hair with cornrows can look rather unusual and unsmooth. Also, there are many, many hairstyles created and designed especially for straight hair, WHY NOT GET THOSE?? They look better on average, and people will think better of you... don't think that when you walk down the street with cornrows every white will be thinking to themselves "Wow, that bright young man/woman looks fantastic with those, in absolutely no way is he emulating the way of the African and I'll guarentee the only reason he got them was because it was his choice and he wanted to try something new, good on him." trust me...
By the way people, stop saying that there is no such thing as a Black person or a White person, because most of us know that's true, it's called "Color Labels", it's what we are refered to as.... and by the way, that guy that commented on Adam and Eve, they weren't the first people on the earth, LOL... atleast a white Adam and Eve. I'm sure this advice is pointless to the person that asked the question in the first place because chances are she has already gotten her hair done but I'm just debating for the hell of it.
Anyway, that’s all I really gotta say, Peace Out, Miatch.
ummmm...are you all really that ignorant to know that white people started braiding period. a cornrow is nothing more than a frenchbraid...keyword..FRENCH...get over yourselves...
