Not every black person gets offended by this.

What is hairstyle called that black people are wearing. When we do rock our natural hair its called unkempt and unattractive. Shes participating in a toxic norm that says Black people arent valuable but our hair is cool as long as white folks are wearing it. Afro-textured hair or kinky hair is the hair texture of populations in Africa and the African diasporaEach strand of this hair type grows in a tiny angle-like helix shape.

Stop reducing it to fashion. So it is not appropriation but Cultural Appreciation. Black people cannot be guilty of cultural appropriation.

Lin who is of Taiwanese descent was quickly accused of cultural appropriation and fellow basketball star Kenyon Martin even called the hairstyle and its allowance foolishness. Its like that part of our culture is used to denigrate us while non-black people with their naturally straight hair try it as a fun and funky hairstyle. It means that the individual and attractive curly hair of black women is.

While black people wore that hairstyle for centuries used it as a symbol in society as a way to know where you are from as a way to fight against oppression as a way to empower themselves to feel pretty or to get closer to their culture it just needs one white person to wear it to erase all the history of this hairstyle to be called a trendsetter make money with it and people even give you the credit of it. Black women have had our hair mocked and degraded we have been called nappy-headed-hoes and we have been socialized to believe that our hair is bad because it is not straight. I appreciate all cultures.

The fade is a hairstyle worn predominantly by black men in which the hair starts off short at the bottom and lengthens as it reaches the top. She sees someone with a hairstyle whos wearing it freely who probably doesnt get as much push back as she would if she had the same hairstyle. Weaves and chemical relaxers which we called perms were the sacrifices black girls made for good hair.

In recent times hairstyles have increasingly become a politicised racialised issue that women are expected to have a stance on. After a black San Francisco State University student confronted a white student over his dreadlock hairstyle calling it cultural appropriation people are talking about the topic of white people. I certainly do not.
