It’s. Beautiful and intricate. Why all these “yuck” comments? The same ppl saying yuck are the ones who cry cultural Appropriation when another race does it. Atleast other races can appreciate how unique our hair is
My hair is natural I never worn weave or wigs my hair is almost to my butt and I wear it flat ironed a lot but love my curls and this is not ugly at all its very creative but I admit my skin crawls when I look too long
Ok. Im sure there are ppl who look at your natural hair and it makes their skin crawl..doesn’t make it ugly. Just different. I can appreciate the uniqueness of this style. I wouldn’t wear it. But it’s neat and creative:)
Exactly I never thought it was ugly and I accept who doesn’t like mine I do that’s all that matters. I don’t think anyone should do anything for fashion or likes but I appreciate art and some ppl don’t understand how to see art maybe that’s why they think it’s ugly but oh well that’s their opinion
I wouldn’t wear it because There are different cultures and each culture has different customs(ways,traditions,styles that are widely accepted by society.) One culture is not better than the other. Just because straight hair is valued here in america doesn’t mean we cant appreciate the beauty of styles else where. And if you can’t look outside of your own culture and see beauty…im sorry…but you are a closed minded individual
I can’t believe it! It looks like some of the braids I’ve seen african women wear, styled very unique…. …..it may not be western, but I thought it was traditionally beautiful. ….
That took real skills! I guess some of us don’t really want to connect back with our roots like we way lol. You’ll see more than this in The Mother Land.
That’s awesome! Of course none of us would wear that style because our taste in styles are different than those from Africa…this style prob is the most popular or most expensive style where she’s from…I can’t with these comments. Smh, I’m sure y’all pony tails, wigs, and bleached hair would be quite interesting to her as well…
I can see this being beautiful in Africa or on a runway but everyday everywhere…I rather not be a spectacle. On the other hand (my duality) we as Black women have been made to believe that we need to “fit in” to conventional society for so long that it’s why we rebel with outlandish and couture hair designs. It’s just not for every woman’s taste. To each their own.
Yes!! Same thing I saw. And Black women…we are QUEENS. and our Men are Kings who have been stolen away from their kingdom. Ugh I could go on and on. We are so distant from the truth of who we really are. #royalty
And since I have a small Audience I wanted to remind my beautiful black sisters that we are truly QUEENS and our black men are KINGS. And though they stole our ancestors from their kingdom remember that your souls are full of greatness and power. Unspeakable POWER. only that which has power to rise above all shall need or warrant oppression. Be kinder to the black men in your lives. They are kings who have been stripped and made to forget that they are the backbone of society. Sorry just had a cultural awareness the last year and I can’t help but share. Us women are QUEENS.
I said I wasn’t going to do this but in no way did I mean to DISRESPECT the model, you cannot speak for me , my question to you La Keisha, why are you continuing to make what I said an issue? We all have our opinions, but because I said my hair itch, YOU were offended, but again my opinion is mine just as yours, we can agree to disagree but please be respectful about it, which I feel you haven’t been towards Phoenix, I noticed how you didn’t say anything to those who said it made their skin crawled, in which you shouldn’t have, again I will not continue to argue, in which it seems like you want to
These comments of DISRESPECT is SOOOOOO UNEXCEPTABLE. Please realize Her head is the canvas and her hair is the ART. If it is not for you then it is NOT for you, but comments of ” Makes my skin crawl!” “It’s creative but it makes your flesh crawl…” ” Makes my hair itch” ” That’s creepy looking. #heebeegeebies” “Yuck!!!” “So ugly it looks dusty” and so much more. These are the same comments that other nationalities say against Natural hair women of color. These same comments have kept Men and Women from getting employment, promotions and positions. (Trust me I understand that there is an acceptable and unexceptable dress code in the working environment.) But not to long ago women were being fired because they wore braids in their hair to work and professional men that were lawyers were asked to cut off of their locks. Braids, locks and the afro are still facing racism not only in the work place but in the mall and in the streets. Comments made with a NEGATIVE undertone it brings OFFENSE to ALL. AND it opens the door for other nationalities to think that this is ACCEPTABLE behavior. If another nationality said those negative comments to you would you find it funny??? Or Offensive????
All these negative comments are what makes my skin crawl. I’m sure many of you at some time in your lives wore a hairstyle that even your grandmother’s would be ashamed of. I think that this is beautiful, and I’d rock this. Now to sit down long enough to get it done…. Idk about that, lol.
This is talent. The things we do with hair its amazing.. I love this. You most definitely won’t see anybody with this. What a statement… I don’t like the color tho.
Let me just say this>>>Creating Designs of this Nature takes talent as well as time. Believe me when I say this! I work in a Braiding Salon( Beautiful Braids Salon) for a years and I spent a many hours creating beautiful hair designs. It’s hard work I kid you not.
Good thing the artist of this hairstyle and the woman wearing it werent doing it for anybody other than themselves….who cares that you non-likers dont like it….it ain’t for you….appreciate the time it took to think of the design and pattern plus the time to do it and sit in the chair while its being done!!!! STOP BEING SO DAM HATEFUL and just enjoy the value of the beauty of the versatility and strength of black hair….geeeezz, how hard is that???
Creative it quiet clear ones oppinion doesnt matter where she must hv been from I promise you she must hv nailed this style because she wouldnt hv put up with the braid burning the smell possibly even her hair got burnt that hairstyle done and walked the streets with her head held up high and she couldnt care less wat anyone thought coz she has absolute confidence in her self she know she nailed it if not wouldnt hv seen picture bt ive still got to say this hair style dates back to may be four decades ago well known as kamatana in my country mostly loved by western and parts of north africa out its outdated coz of burning system which hairdressers had to use candles to burn braids for perfect closure
Everyone is entitled to their preferences. One can LOVE natural hair. That doesn’t mean you have to LOVE every style! Some like this style, some don’t. So what? I don’t like fro hawks…we all have different taste and that’s what makes the world intetesting. You self righteous need to take a step down and stop taking yourself so seriously. It’s just hair.
I love my African braids but this looks like a pineapple..
No and Hell nooooo!!!!!!!!
Creative, but my hair itch lol
well go and wash it . It does not mean her scalp is dirty or dry. I hate those stupid ” my hair itch ” comments. There was nothing funny about it.

I never said her comment was incomplete, I said it was jovial.. you seem to be arguing just to argue.
Idk and don’t want to know
They sow it in.

Creative but No Thank u!
Wow!
TALENTED
That took real skills! I guess some of us don’t really want to connect back with our roots like we way lol. You’ll see more than this in The Mother Land.
I just don’t know… Is artful I guess but not cute.
Wow!!!!
Creative but I don’t like it.
Its shows great skill and talent but would not be a style i would wear personally
That’s awesome! Of course none of us would wear that style because our taste in styles are different than those from Africa…this style prob is the most popular or most expensive style where she’s from…I can’t with these comments. Smh, I’m sure y’all pony tails, wigs, and bleached hair would be quite interesting to her as well…
My thoughts exactly. Nice comment
Looks like a crown to me
Not cute
Pineapple
Wowwww
It’s creative. .. But imagine how it looks if you sleep on your back after a couple of nights, even with scarf on?
It’s creative but not for me.
Beautiful
Wow
Makes my skin crawl!
The question should be,why they did it!!
Because, Culture. *sighs*
Freedom of speech still is legal *sigh*
This is art and its beautiful form artistic
Artistic but I wouldn’t leave the house like that. Smh.
I certainly don’t know…but i’ll pass on this one here :/
Jajajaja
It’s amazing what can be done with ethnic hair!!
It does look like a crown.
Hair show worthy as art, but not for everyday life.
I don’t like it, not cute to me at all
Idk but its ugly asf tho
It’s creative, just not cute lookin like a basket head
I think is unique and different I like it
Creative and artful…but it makes my flesh crawl looking at the pattern…and I would say the same if it was any other hair type.
That is a hat piece that goes over your hair.this is not her hair.the pic is old also.but nice head piece
I can see this being beautiful in Africa or on a runway but everyday everywhere…I rather not be a spectacle. On the other hand (my duality) we as Black women have been made to believe that we need to “fit in” to conventional society for so long that it’s why we rebel with outlandish and couture hair designs. It’s just not for every woman’s taste. To each their own.
Lawd. No man. Dis look like ants nest or a bunch of worms.
Yes!! Same thing I saw. And Black women…we are QUEENS. and our Men are Kings who have been stolen away from their kingdom. Ugh I could go on and on. We are so distant from the truth of who we really are. #royalty
Only that which has power to rise above all should need to be oppressed. The power we have within our souls is..unspeakable.
I can appreciate the effort and intricate detail, but no.
Unique indeed!!!!
And since I have a small Audience I wanted to remind my beautiful black sisters that we are truly QUEENS and our black men are KINGS. And though they stole our ancestors from their kingdom remember that your souls are full of greatness and power.

Very talented
Wow. It’s beautiful!
This looks creepy. I don’t like it.
Yuck!!!

I’ll have to say no on this one. Looks like some kind of nest for bugs or bees!
Eww the question is WHY they do that
Hhhmmm … A bit much
Amazing
It’s very different
O men you have to have some skills for that n Iam loving it but it looks like a hair net
It’s creative. I’m sure it took a long time to accomplish but I wouldn’t wear it

At first glance I thought they were some Oreo cookies… and I’m not trying to be funny.
The art of it is nice but not as a hair style
Looks like Medusa
Nope!
