Braids on white women?

Question

So I'm mixed, Mexican/American. People always think I'm Italian though.. I really wanna get my hair braided but I feel like people will say I'm too white for it. I just love African American culture and my friends the one who told me I should do it. I just don't want back lash. What do you guys think

Answer

No one cares really and that’s not the issue we have with white people wearing braids in the first place.

Answer

I think other people shouldn't worry about how you wear your hair. It's yours, do what you want and if other people have a problem they don't have to look at it.

Answer

Braids aren’t inherently black. If you want the authenticity of African American braids, make sure you get them done at a black salon !

Answer

If you want braids, get braids.

Answer

Cultural appropriation is when someone is selective about the elements of a culture they "want". So if you were white and listened to rap and had braids but were hateful towards POC. Then it would be wrong. But as long as you are respectful it shouldn't be an issue

Answer

Who gives a fuck? Shoot wear your hair in a fro if you want to.

Answer

GO FOR IT GIRL!!! Post pics, excited to see the outcome

Answer

If someone has a problem with it then that’s THEIR problem; it’s your body, do whatever you want.

Answer

It's just hair. HAIR. As long as you're not shaving hate speech into your hair line, do whatever you want with it. I plan on getting dreadlocks some day even though I'm white as hell.
