@PuzZuLz saidThey are considered a traditional hairstyle of African braiding practice in many African cultures, as well as in the African diaspora. They are distinct from, but may resemble, box braids, Dutch braids, melon coiffures, and other forms of plaited hair, and are typically tighter than braids used in other cultures. -- Wikipedia

Cornrows are three strand braids close to the scalp ya dummy.
Braids have been around for thousands of years.
Just because a certain race does it a lot, doesn't mean they own copyrights to it.
Cornrows ain't your mama's Nordic braids.

Nice to see you are calling them braids all of a sudden.
Every style of braid has been done all over the world, many times over since the beginning of time.
Black Fatigue is real.
They are whining about some white lady who had braids, then fired her for it, and now she will file a lawsuit and win.
As long as the jury doesn't have black tards in it.
@PuzZuLz saidIs that your message? That racism wins?

@Suzianne saidYou think telling black people they don't own a hairstyle is racist?
Is that your message? That racism wins?
You are so far gone and a traitor to your own race, I imagine you spend a lot of time alone.
They only racist things that actually happened was blacks thinking they own a hairstyle and firing a white chick because of her hairstyle.
That's the real racism from your friends but you deny they are racist.
#1 out of fear
#2 denial
#3 you're a traitor

@AThousandYoung saidCornrows are just inverted Dutch braids.
Are cornrows and French braids different?
They probably saw some colonizing people with the braids way back in the day and after copying the braids, it was inverted by mistake.
You are right that they are the same as French braids.
According to suzianne, us white folk have to ask permission from the blacks to wear braids. 🙄

@AThousandYoung saidNo, cornrows are not French braids, though they use a very similar concept of braiding hair close to the scalp.

Key Differences
• Technique: French braids cross hair over the middle strand, which makes the braid look flat or hidden beneath the hair. Cornrows typically cross hair under the middle strand (technically making them a small-scale Dutch braid), which makes the braid sit raised and proud on top of the scalp.
• Number and Size: French braids usually feature one or two large braids down the center or back of the head. Cornrows are multiple, narrow, precise rows tightly braided straight back or in geometric patterns.
• Cultural Roots: Cornrows have deep historical and cultural roots in traditional African hair practices and the African diaspora. French braids are traditionally associated with European styling.
