I agree with so much of this but I don't understand the hairstyle issues? Maybe someone could explain? Growing up I've always wanted micro braids, and I am very obviously white. My mom told me that she had friends growing up that had micro braids and all of my african american friends have said that anyone can rock a hairstyle, because so many hairstyles are interwoven through so many different cultures. And in the same light I had a friend growing up who had dreads along with one of my moms best friends who has dreads, both are white, and no one ever seems to have an issue because dreads are in so many different cultures.
So im just trying to understand is it bad to like a hairstyle because you aren't directly from the culture where it is worn most?
Because to me it isn't about choosing a hairstyle to be more edgy, it's about choosing a hairstyle that makes me feel confident.
