Cornrows

Thoughts on my cornrows hair styling appointment.

At Jon and Josh's going away party on May 31, 2002, I was speaking with Natasha about changing my hairstyle, and she suggested getting some cornrows. I thought that was a great suggestion, and the two of us arranged my hair styling appointment for last night. Prior to her arrival, I did some research on cornrows on the Internet. I was surprised to find there were no pages about Asians with cornrows! What's up with that? Give Google a few weeks to crawl through my web site, and I assure you that's going to change!

Natasha and I watched the Lakers-Nets "basketbore" game while she transformed me from a long-haired Asian into an Asian Undercover Brother with cornrows. My hair has a slight wave to it, unlike most straight-haired Asian people, so it was easier for Natasha to braid the cornrows. We had fun along with Rae taking pictures and videotaping the event.

Getting there!

Moussing it up

From the back

My hair has gone through several radical transformations over the past several years. It's seen short hair, no hair, long hair, and finally cornrows! Next will be the Jedi Padawan look! Which do you like best?

There are more pictures from my cornrows hair styling appointment with Natasha. Check them out in the photo gallery below!

December 7, 2002: Ever since publishing this page on the Web, there has been a considerable amount of traffic. The response in general has been very appreciative and helpful. Thank you and keep on writing about your cornrows experience below!

Unfortunately, there are a number of people who continue to exist within a boxed world of exclusion and racism. That's a shame, as this mindset prevents one from appreciating the wonderful gifts from different cultures.

This Chinese dude at work named Jim had dreads for awhile. It was strange, because he would utter stuff like "don't be hatin'!" and then go back to his cube to code some more.

hey, adam... um... to be honest, i don't like the cornrows. i liked the short hair the best on you. how long will you be keeping the cornrows?

I'm planning on keeping the 'rows on for at least this week and possibly next.

Think you will keep them long enough to have them at the next Newton meeting?

Sadly, no, Dave. Maybe I'll get them again later in the year though!

Your cornrows are nice... It's funny I'm african americans and some of us are ashamed of our own hair and would never do cornrows...many african americans want straight hair ...but to see someone of a different ethnicity wanting cornrows is an awakening... You are brave...

Hi, I was looking for style ideas since I'm getting ready to cornrow my hair this evening. I'm an American of African descent, and I think it looks great on you. Part of being an American is having the freedom to try things from all of our cultures combined. Have fun trying more stuff!

This amount of rascism is disgusting..to come on here and see these words is horrific. The world will never be a happy place because of ignorant people like this. I understand how many people actually hate the U.S but why lower yourselves to their levels and repeat this racist nonsence. I am an Italian Canadian and i am proud to say that i treat everyone, no matter what race, equally the same as everyone else i know. Pretty soon I am going to be getting cornrows and I know the people i associate myself with will love my new look and i just wish the rest of the world would be like them and not just see people for their outside appearence. Its really whats inside that counts.

Nice Son! I'm sure your smart enough to know people are going to be critics and haters. I enjoy seeing other ethnics groups sample and appreciate our culture. I think what most african americans don't appreciate, are people who aren't interested in our culture, but sample it just to try and fit in. At least you took the time to research and thought it out before you did it. I say: "Do your thing my asian brotha!" No hatin' from this black man!

Man, you look good. Its a hair style. End of story.

lord, some people just cant take a compliment - those black guys saying no one but them can wear black hair styles..? please, take this as a compliment, people aint trying to 'be' black, we just love and respect your style. jeeez, racism aint never gonna cease at this rate. gotta respect different types of culture, and enjoy different things, no 'blow caps up' on eachother. Hey maybe I'm not being a realist here, but racism sucks, i dont care what anyone says. We should respect difference, not make the divides even bigger.

hey bro, awesome web site. I love the pics. I think you looked your best with long hair ala the france vacation pics. Although the cornrows are very nice change esp. since it's not permanent. I'm also american chinese and have tried alot of different hair looks most of them short though! About the most radical was when I bleached my hair blond and spiked it up last year, I stopped after I was being paged overhead as Dr. NSYNC at the hospital. Right now I have a buzz cut, although I have decided to grow it long and depending on how it looks may be get it dreaded! I was wondering how long did it take you to grow your hair that long? Also what did u do during that intermediate stage when everything is sticking out everywhere? Let me know, and keep up the awesome work. fan,

Alright, alright, after listening to (reading) everyone else's comment I decided I had to write one of my own. In a way I do find it amusing to see some of our oldest hairstyles (cornrowns have a very looong history) on the other races. Especially in a time when it's a bit -less- popular among Black women (I am one, I can speak for us). How do you look? Just fine, it works much better for you than some of the white males I've seen try to pull it off. What looks best? The look hair, but then I've always been partial to that, especially in Asian men. Only a few things to remember as we move on through the hairstyles -- first, as soon as you started with the many different experiements (though yours might take months vs. my weeks) you entered the 'soul' of what it is we do with our hair. True not all of us change that often, but we're usually the only ones that do it regularly. You can see 10 looks on one Black woman in year easy. So welcome to the fold! Just remember, proper maintenance! And you can always go back to 'normal' even if you want... well red hair for a week ::chuckles:: Have fun!

Sup yall. I've seen everyone elses comments so i think im'a add my 2 cents.. im a white male (19 yrs old) and i have an afro. its about 4 inches deep. its totally natural, thats just how my hair grows. i always get comments from blacks about how they love it and all and people ive never seen before will come up and slap hands wit me and all. in high school ive hung out more with the blacks than whites and ive just kind of been drawn to the whole thing, and accepted as one of them. i listen to all the soul/r&b, and hip-hop. i wear da baggy clothes and all. there has been so many blacks that have told me flatout ive got soul in me somewhere, and theres no way im white. my comments is this, and this is what ive been told from some black friends before; just be yourself. as long as you arent TRYING to look that way, its all good. just dont try to be something you're not. i hear it all the time that i should get rows put in and all. ur going to get laughed at, and ur going to get compliments. i get laughed at all the time by white people, or get some dirty looks. my parents and all is always sayin im white so i should act like it. and thats whats wrong with our society. because you have a certain color, you are expected to look and act and talk a certain way. but i dont care what people think. i do what i want, i look how i want. i know im accepted, so who cares? this is who i am i cant change that. like i said as long as you arent TRYING, then i say go for it.

I am not hatin'. I'm black, but I think it just looks funny when white people try to wear braids. I guess it's their texture of hair that makes it look funny. I'm just mad because whites try to take everything we have.

-- posted by LaTeia @ Saturday, September 7 2002, 22:28 pm EDT

Believe me I'm not being a hater. I'm black and I just think that certain styles look better on certain people. I think part of it is the structure of white peoples face that makes it look funny to me when they get braids. I'm not rascist and I have quite a few white friends, but I also believe white people try to steal other people's shit and make it their own. I know in the back of white people's minds they're thinking I can pull this off better than any black person. It's not enough that they have control of the whole world, not they're trying to take all of our stuff too. White people have always been greedy.

-- posted by LaTeia @ Saturday, September 7 2002, 22:39 pm EDT

LaTeia.... you are so wrong about whites 'thinking they can pull this off batter than any black person'. Dont generalise so much. I'm surprised you have any white friends at all if you go talking like you do. I'm sorry you feel the way you do, and as a white person, I feel offended reading what you have written, though I'm sure that was the idea. Well done. There are alot of greedy people in the world, and funnily enough they arent all white. I may not have a true undertanding of black culture, but in terms of style, you guys got it. Aint nobody ever gonna take that away, so just chill.

-- posted by doll @ Sunday, September 8 2002, 10:30 am EDT

im half filipino and half black..i think ur braids look great...i dont think black people should get offended when other races use their styl(hair, clothes, etc..)..they should be proud that people like their creativity and should comment them on it..stop the hate...i only agree with LaTeia with the white people thing...not fully cuz i know SOME white people and there not all bad..some are pretty cool actually but in general u know..their mostly the same..greedy..taking more money, land, power, etc..

It looks pretty good, I read the comments ahead and I think people are taking shit too seriously. It's just a hairstyle, not a good reason to create a race war.

Asians and whites can choose to braid their hair, it would be like telling blacks to stop straightening their hair. Iam both black american and asian but I live in Australia, it's great I get the best of both worlds.

Your cornrows look pretty good. It was good to come across this site because I have straight hair and have in the past worn cornrows. The comments I always received were positive. I live in Australia and you don't get too many people wearing them here but I feel that a lot of people would wear them if they knew how to braid hair.

-- posted by Zaheira @ Friday, September 13 2002, 19:30 pm EDT

i was just looking for some new styles and i found this page...

just got to say, im filipino, but people mistake me for mix (black and flip) because im dark and got cornrows... it aint about race, its about culture... i do it cause i like it, not because im trying to be someone else... people know i do it for the hip/hop rap culture that im part of... im accepted by asians, whites, and blacks, etc. in southern california for it...

you should do it again, and try other styles instead of just straight back... ive done all the style there is, zig zags, crossovers, and the iverson styles too... you should do it cause its works really cool with the long ass hair you got, mines is just 2/3 as longs as yours...

one more thing, not to be hatin on homegirl who did yours and all, but ive had white girls cornrow my shit with harder styles better than the girl who did yo straight back...

peace!

I really like the cornrows, I have them in my hair and absoulutley adore them. They are so EASY to take care of!! I want the HOW-TO on them though. I have NO CLUE how to french braid, more or less corn row. I am very interested to learn though. Please send me information on it, and continue to not fear standing out ABOVE the crowd!!

I think your cornrows are tight. I'm chinese and I braid my hair all the time, and I also braid up other people as well. I'm glad you decided to make a site on yourself with cornrows because we need more variety of races with this kind of hairstyle being publicly shown. If you decide to expand your website on something more than just yourself with braids, I have some pictures of people that I braided up that you can use to show, or even for some ideas for yourself. Keep up the braids!

big up on the hairstyle man, don't listen to these racist bigots... who are the crackers now? I'm a white boy, i live in Australia,don't like all hiphop,but I like some, and yet i always get called wigga by the Lebanese 'gangstas' in Kani jackets, just cos i wear massive pants instead of skin tight ones like them, so go figure. But anyway,the cornrows are cool,and I'm thinking about getting some myself...keep it up.

Young man, I don't know why you decided to cornrow your hair other than it is a free country, it's your hair, your(and your braider's) time and damn it you like the look. I am a 44 year old black woman and I happened upon your website while looking for some information about cornrows. I'm not trying to be condescending but I can tell by some of these comments some of y'all are definitely under the age of 35 or somewhere in high school or grammar school. The majority of the comments have been level-headed. However, beating up and urinating on a person because they dared to wear a "hairstyle"!? How childish. How dare you!!! I suggest that those who choose to defend the black race from "interlopers" who dare "rock" our hairstyles, need find better ways to "defend" us. You want to defend the black race "rock" those school books, learn your black history, the history of this country and world history (so that you can get angry about things that matter not hair) and get as much education as you can. You want to piss on something, be "pissed" at the prison "business" that, according to recent news reports, has more minorities heading to prison than college. Read some damn books, please!!! The best defense is knowledge and knowledge is power. When idiots spend time risking being expelled from school or charged with assault for beating up someone, so they can "defend" a damn hairstyle, I get a little angry. If the piss and kicking gang of thugs spent as much time worrying about what was going in their heads instead of what was "arranged" on top of their heads and the heads of others, there is no limit what they could do in this world. I feel that if you can walk down the street with head unbowed, are confident in who and what you are, do unto others as you would have them do unto you and can look in the mirror and love what you see, you are batting a thousand!!!! Young man, if you like your cornrows, you keep on wearing them and wear them proudly. You wear a hairstyle that has been around for thousands of years and as it continues to perpetuate will be around for thousands more. (Sorry for getting on the soap box when all you wanted were comments about your hairstyle).

Yo... Adam, how'd you keep the itch out your head?

-- posted by Dief @ Friday, September 20 2002, 8:04 am EDT

Dief:

It was hard not to scratch my hair when I had the cornrows. My hair tends to produce a lot of oil, and that contributed to that itchy feeling. When I did have to scratch, I did so around the braids. I held the braids in my fingers (so it wouldn't come undone) and scratched around the scalp area. That usually did the trick.

I am a 35 year old black woman, and I think your braids are cute. I've never seen an Asian / Oriental wear a cornrow hairstyle before. It was definitely different. More often than not, people do not know how to respond to something new or different - and resort to what is safe for them. Douglas Brown obviously has a lot of hostility and issues of his own to deal with, you can't have "a life" if your physically asaulting someone over a hairstyle! All black people are not the same. Trying to duplicate our styles and fashions is only the greatest compliment to our creativity. Thank you for the compliment. Don't forget to post your other styles and or cornrow designs.

I personally have no problem with asians rockin cornrows. As the brotha said, asians are very closely related to blacks. Actually the original asians were of african descent. not to say that we are better than asians, im just sayin that we are related. We are all people of color and our experiences are similar. we all had to endure some struggle and some form of racism. I think the haters beef with you because alot of people embrace hip-hop aspect of our culture and dont know any thing about black folks as a people. I think alot of us feel that our culture is being exploited. People associate hip hop culture with being black, but it is so much deeper than that. we have a rich heritage and have been through a trmendous amount of oppression and people dont want to learn about us they just want to emulate the "mainstream " part of our culture. We have been exploited, but we should beappreciative of the fact that western society finally accepts us as a brilliant people and acknowledges that we have always been the trend setters. Those haters are just ignorant, if they weren't they would know that it is also your culture too, because we people of color are all related.

Ron:

Well, I started with a shaved head in April, 2000, and I grew it up for a couple of years before I even though about braiding it. I think it will take a good year to go from no hair to hair that can be braided. Without knowing where you are on the timeline, I can't tell for sure. Everyone's hair grows at different rates, you know.

How long are you able to keep your 'rows before getting them redone. I'm getting 'rows on friday (professionally because no friends of mine can do it) and I've got caucasian hair but it's fairly frizzy.

-- posted by Charlie @ Sunday, October 13 2002, 15:31 pm EDT

Charlie:

I only had them in for a week before I took them out. It was getting difficult to keep the hair clean (I started scratching a lot later in the week). My hair is more oily than African-American hair, so that probably contributed to its quicker removal. If your hair is shorter, you might have a better chance at keeping them in longer, since you won't have to worry about them unravelling in the evening while you sleep (wear a skull cap). Hope this helps.

Its normal for lots of hair to fall off your head when u take your cornrows out, We shed Tons of hair everyday and when u have rows hair can't shed as easy so thats why.

I believe you can have Cornrows up to 2 months, but I'm not sure on that one

Also when I had rows I wore a bandana over my head when I went to sleep so my rows wouldn't rub against my pillow and get all frizzed up.

U look good, Keepin rockin the rows dogg

Seems there is plenty of hostility over a hairstyle in this chain of emails. I think what makes our country so great is our freedom to express our cultures. People of any ethnic background are allowed to pass down and prolong what makes them unique through each generation, and people of totally different cultures can share with each other what makes thier own culture so special. The fact that people of different ethnic backgrounds can enjoy other completely different cultures is what makes life so interesting and enriching here. Whether Asians dance salsa, whites listen to rap, latinos do kung fu or blacks drive imports and rice burners with kanji decals, people need to realize that this behavior doesn't threaten the existance of a culture or steal from a culture. This type of sharing promotes understanding and tolerance, and hopefully will eventually smother the type of utter ignorance that some people have expressed on this site. Borrowing from another culture isn't abandonment of one's own culture or tainting another, but only a way to taste and enjoy all the different spices that life has to offer.

Peace.

Why do white people always have to have something we have? It's bad enough white people have or music and feel free to use the word "nigga" But now they want our hairstyles too. I think it looks good on you and all but I go to a prodimatley white school(5000 students) And there are about 100-150 black students all together. When we try to express our color through our hair or music per say. The next day a white is tryin to the same thing. But the thing I hate the most is a white girl asking me a bunch of question about my hair that are uncalled for such as: Do u sleep with that in?". Like I'm abnormal or something. And before you start calling me a RACIST or whatever by bestfriend of 12(and still going) is asian and white and I love her. But what I am simply saying is MOST WHITES just think of it as a hairstyle but to us it's a color barrier! Oh and I mean 12 years.(sorry) But Adam I think you look best with the long hair. OH YEAH~

All you ignorant mother fuckers need to squash that shit, anyone can wear cornrows. Cornrows are not just for black people, and having them doesn't mean people want to be black. It's just a way of expressing your own individual style, because if a nigga was dating a mexican girl you wouldn't say he wants to be mexican. You would just say that they have good taste in women. So all you haters need to shut the fuck up, it ain't our fault YOU don't look good in cornrows.

The stereo-type: cornrows are a black expression of racial individuality

The truth: cornrows are universal (ethnically).. it's just a hair style. Sure, it's been used by African Americans (blacks) most commonly, but that doesn't mean it's forbidden for use by other races.

It's like that little gay guy on "Andy Richter" said: "You've got to learn to ignore colors."

wow, there's tons of responses. If you have time hit me back.

My hair is about inch and a half on the top and its like a 1/4 inch on the sides. In the past my hair grew really fast from bald to about 1.5 inches in the first month and then slowed to about 3/4 inch per month, did u experience that to after shaving your head?

People tell me I need to wait for it to grow out to about 3 inches on all sides. is that true?

I am Asian, but my hair is more like hispanic/islander, it's really thick and wavy, does that help the braidning process?

Did you get extensions put into your hair as well?

Its exciting to see other Asian folks with interest in typically African hairstyles, it shows an acceptance and interest in each other's culutres.

Hey! I'm lovin' the rows! I had mine done last year, ange them about 2 months later, cut all of my hair off. I'm also a "hairstylist in training"(lame attempt to make 'student of cosmetology' sound better). In our salon/school, which is in the narrow-minded heart of the rural mid-west, we have many different types of people come in and get rows. We even had a 70-something year old white lady come in and get them after her granddaughter had gotten them, so don't let people tell you who you are or what to do. If you want rows, go for it.

Judging from the more ignorant posters to this website, it would appear that my country - the USA has to be one of the most racist places on the planet. Just because I like sushi and spagetti doesn't make me out to want to be Japanese or Italian. Sadly, it is going to be these types of people becoming slaves in prison. Worse yet, they will be the soldiers who are sent to butcher any country that disagrees with our government's corporate oiligarchy. Unfortunately, MOST of these filthy-rich business elite are white only because they had a long head start. Their special club IS OPEN TO ANY race,color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc., except the poor (unless you do what they want). Cornrows can look good on many kinds of people just as jeans can. You hate-mongerors should go work for the CIA and the like. Their goal is to divide us on our social conciousness/political empowerment and unite us on shopping, greed, love of TV/Hollywood, etc.(everythin selfish and superficial). Idiots of the world unite on a big island somewhere and shoot each other; please just don't reproduce!

Good luck growing out the hair. I mentioned in an earlier comment page that I have a Quicktime movie showing my hair grow from a shaved head to long hair in one year:

http://www.tow.com/photogallery/year60seconds/

Your hair will slow down in terms of growth after awhile. 3/4 f an inch/month is still pretty fast though! A good rule of thumb for one year is around 6 inches.

Dry hair is best for cornrows, as it doesn't get oily and untangle itself like my hair. It looks like you're in my camp, unfortunately (but don't let that stop you!).

Good luck!

Hello, I love your site. I have been trying to figure out a good hair style for myself and it is hard being half korean and half black. I am a teen and my hair is different and aggravating... The best style is using gel and making curls, but it is time consuming and gets cold in the mornings cuz gel is almost like water... So I am now growing my hair to do cornrows. I hope it looks good on me, I don't know how to wear my hair while i'm growing it for the rows... Ahhh o well...

The way i feel when i get called a nigger is nasty i would never dream of makine someone else feel this way. You few blacks out there that are makeing the rest of us look like narrowminded fools dont represent the me.

Some of these posts sure make me grateful that I live in up here in Vancouver, Canada.

I am a 47 year old "black" woman. I must say, at my age I have seen plenty. When I was a child growing up in the 60s, black people, "Negros" as we were called, wouldn't think of wearing their hair nappy much less going around with cornrows in their heads unless it was in the house. We were taught to think of our hair as something to be a shamed of. Now, in this day and time it is very "in" to wear cornrows or braids. What I think of cornrows in your head is this.....It's only a fad for you. As soon as the next "in thing" comes around, you are going to take those cornrows out of your head faster than a bat out of hell! And as for me, and all of my nappy head brothers and sister, our hair is going to remain the same, no matter what the style or fad maybe. People has always capitalized (made money or fame) off black people. This is no different. All of the pix I saw on your website supports my opinion...you change with the wind, what ever way blows the strongest....what ever...uh...what ever?

I have been wearing Cornrows for over a year now... My braidologist has full rein to try whatever style she likes... I am not really surprised by all the negative comments... I am in the military and in basic allot of the girls got cornrows because well we looked rough without them... The look was frowned upon with the non-black women were said to be too "trendy" and too "ethnic". G. H. Bath, said it best "Opinions are flexible prejudices."

STOP TRIPPIN' There are times I feel other races are taking advantage of the black culture and robbin' us of our style. That makes us less unique, but ANYONE can rock cornrows. I can't say that everyone's going to like a different race besides blacks wearing them,and there ARE people who are gonna laugh and comment on it. I'm black myself and had corn rows like Alicia Keys touching my butt,{about 86 of them}. It saves you alot of time. I got to give props to my black people...We rock the style, hair, and BLING BLING and ain't no one take that shit away.C/T/S- Some blue magic is good hair grease and some other thing...I forgot what it wuz called. Put some Luster's oil sheen on it to keep it looking fresh and new. Anyway, Adam you look good!

I have to say i like ur cornrows, they look good. How long did it take 2 do? it must be so much harder doing c/rows with straight hair. I'm from Papua New Guinea so i've got black skin and I've had my hair (afro, island hair) braided, like the inside braid/plait a few times by a friend. Another friend of mine did 13 cornrows in my hair nice n tight, hard to my skull/sculp wateva (thats how i like it, tight) and i had beads put in to, 4 beads in each row. I keep them in for about 1 wk n a 1/2 then took them out cuz some of my hair started to friz abit and stick out the braids like i got abit of an electric shock. To get the 13 c/rows and beads done, it only took an hour and 20mins, which isn't long. Anyone can have them, who's to stop u. i personally think it looks more attractive on ppl with black/brown skin, but thats just me. The island boys (dark skined, afro hair, basketball players) in Cairns (where I live in Australia) look so good when they got their hair in cornrows, i always find myself looking more then once because they look incredibly sexy. but anyways. express urself, always b tru 2 urself and don't change for nobody, be proud of who u r and where u come from and keep ur head up, don't let nobody get you down.

Adam I came across your web site, looking for ways to grow my hair quick back from a very short hair cut. I had long hair that took me two years to grow (12 inches). I think the corn rows look good get Natasha to do them tighter and all the way down the ends. I grew my hair because I always wanted to have a plait in the back like the monks and the movies Jet Li plays in. and I am black :-). I wonder why though half of the head is bald and then the other half back into a plait. I enjoyed your site but I went from a smile to a frown and then a headache reading the comments, damn why are people so prejudice.
Anyways keep up the experimenting because I will and people are always going to talk about something different I know they will when they see my monk plait when I grow it back.

Hi Adam,

I decided to write to you after reading the scores of comments form your site visitors. I am a female journalist living in one of the most ethnically mixed Caribbean countries in the world, Trinidad and Tobago. We have Africans, East Indians, Chinese, Causasians, Venezuelans, Syrian Lebanese, and many, many more that have been living in this country since Columbus happened across our land in 1498.
I too, was looking for a site on cornrow hairstyles (a style I sport myself and refer to them as 'cane rows') and yours caught my eye. A Chinese person with braided hair is no big deal in my country. In the 80's my Chinese schoolmates at College sported French braids, plus tiny braids bunched up in ponytails and more. It was a shock for me to see the venom coming from certain individuals that wanted to do you physical harm, just because you were exercising your right to choose.
Adam, if you were living in Trindiad, your hairstyle would not have raised an eyebrow here. Part of our country's National Anthem states, "Here every creed and race find an equal place" and when it comes to hairstyles, we have all kinds on all colours and skin tones. It's nothing for a white person here to wear braids, an Indian to have dreadlocks or for a black person to have dead straight realxed hair. If they wear an Afro, it's their choice. If they wanna go bald, it's their choice. I have worn my hair many ways and at present it's in a combination of cornrows and braids due to my hectic work pace. It's my choice. My daughter is bi-racial (Indian and African) and she wears cornrows too. It's her choice.
So was your decision to sport some rows and create a site about it. And I think you looked pretty good.
God Bless, and fear no one.

I dont see how they can say that they can rock a cetain hairstyle and be a certain way when I cant, all just because they happen to be born with darker skin...like I said I was raised in a half black family and have lived in Compton my whole life so what gives african americans the right to tell me I cant look a certain way or talk a certain way when I was raised this way!!

Hey, nice cornrows.

I'm 17 and male from Australia. I recently got cornrows done 2 weeks ago. They didn't last too long, so i took them out yesterday cuz there were startin to look bad. I'm planning on getting them done again but just real real tight this time so they last longer.

And this thing about race is bullshit. I'm half Iranian and half Australian, the girl at the hairdressers who did such a good job was italian. I don't see it as stealing someone's culture, why do you think we try all different kinds of food.

I was told by many girls that they look really really good :). It all started because i didn't wanna cut my hair. After 9 months of growing now (i think) i finally got'em done. The way i see it, since i grew my hair i may aswell try different styles while its long. I never wanna cut it.

Yo Adam, the cornrows look awesome so screw all the haters out there.I am an asian male trying to grow my hair out from a baldie to get cornrows. I have straight hair. I've been growing it out for about 6 weeks now. It's about 1.5 inches. How long do I need to have my hair to get nice-looking cornrows? While I'm in the growing phase, can I get my back tapered or should I just grow my whole head out? When it is time to get it braided, should I go out and get a haircut ie: "shaped up" before I get it done? Someone, Anyone please help. THANKS!

what is the purpose of you trying to be black conrows are not for asian people thats why they look so sloppy

It's sad reading all these comments on how Asians and other non-Black races shouldn't try to be "black". I personally have nothing against Blacks, infact I have a lot of friends that are Black. But for those certain Black people that are posting these hate comments, let me ask you all a question. Why the F___ do you wear Chinese characters on your clothing?? Why the F___ do you get tattoos with Chinese chracters?? How come the Wu-Tang Clan calls themselves that? You all are just a bunch of dumb-a** idiots. Go study on what the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached. Blacks are always saying how great he was, so why not practice what he preached!?

I see all these lil "homies" on this website posting bullshit saying they are going to "bust a cap" "piss in your face" or whatever the fuck else they are spouting off about today. Listen "homies" why do you think your race gets this "bad rep"?? Do you think it is undeserved or unwarranted?? I know plenty of nice solid black people that I am proud to call friends and for every one of them their are 20 of you sad sack low browed cock suckers that feel that you are a one man destruction squad that has to be Mr. "hard on mack" and protect your "street cred". You stupid mother fuckers need to get real you are headed for a life of nothing, flipping my burgers and wasting my tax dollars while your sorry asses rot in prison.

Adam I loved your website interesting to see all of the different hair changes you decided to go through. It is your hair your body and your life you do with it whatever the hell you want to. If you want to walk around in a rasta hat with dreads then you do just that. Fuck these assbag bone smokers that say otherwise. If any of you bitches have a problem you just holler and I will cure all your ills.

Makaveli,

If the risk of getting beaten up is high, then you need a sufficient enough of a desire or want to get the cornrows to compensate for the risk (in other words, the cornrows must be worth the risk)

I guess you gotta ask yourself if u are willing to get the cornrows and take a beating. If u want them enough, u will be willing to make the sacriface.

Well im mixed with asian and african american and i understand both sides of the situation because i see it from both sides,and im also a hairstylist and i do cornrows and i wear them also. Cornrows are one of the only things that make african americans different ,its like a trade mark,when we see other ethnicities wearing cornrows it feels like we are being stripped of what makes us different and unique,ya feel ?
damn this sounds corny but people are going to do what ever the hell they want with their hair no one can really stop them, its your damn right to do what u want to ur hair ,"cornrows" is an art that came from Africa and thats all to it, it doesnt mean that only african americans can wear them. If it expresses your indivual style then do the damn thang thats all to it
ma asian peoplez just be aware that braids or "cornrows"are from the influence of african culture

Hello Everyone,

I have not read all the stuff here but you guys do not need a book or anything like that to put in cornrows/canerows as we Caribbean people call them. You actually just have to go to a black beauty salon. Canerows are an african tradition among different tribes to show royalt, or who is up for marriage and stuff like that. So you do not need to go out and buy all sorts of books and waste your money. Bye.

wow, i got some good laughs on all the comments on this webpage. i CONNOT believe that some people think when non-blacks wear cornrows it would be robbing the black culture. puh-leeeeeeze people. that is just like saying when black people straighten their hair, they are robbin' part of the white culture. neither one makes any sense. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH RACISM IS ON THIS PAGE!!!!! though i laughed at a lot of the comments, it's kind of sad to think that people actually think these things. anyway, i'm half indian and half italian, and i got hair past my bootie. anyway, i get my hair in cornrows (only on the top front of my head), all the time. and people (black, white, and hispanic) tell me how good it looks all the time. i never ever had anyone tell me they were offened by my hairstyle. adam, i think your hair looks better long than in straight back 'rows. maybe next time you should try some zig-zags, or maybe even some iverson braids, that would look PRETTY TIGHT!!! anyway, i just wanted to throw in my thoughts. WE NEED TO STOP THIS STUPID RACISM, CAUSE HIS HAIR LOOKS FINE. it's how adam likes it, and it's no one else's hair, so why should they really give a fuck. THIS ISN'T A DAMN RACE ISSUE, IT'S A FUCKING HAIR ISSUE.

Hi DIMPLEZ,

Go for it! It is nice to see that other peoples of different cultures are now more open-minded towards each other. Cornrows with various styles may be African by tradition symbolizing various status of people but it has now been introduced into the fashion world as nothing but style. However, people might look at you as some Asian trying to be black or African, but you just have to remember it's just fucking hair. People tend to waste too much energy on things that are as stupid as a hair style. Furthermore, you can not stop people from running their mouths and if that bothers you then you will just have to take off all your hair....lolololol.......which i know you will not do. Anyway, try them out and just remember that OH MY GOD no one is asking you to turn yourself black or anything like that so just let people talk.

Later

Sometime si wonder how people could be so STUPID. Just what is the difference between the colour of someone's skin? Jeez, we're not stealing off you guys-we duplicate the hair because we think it looks great on almost anyone. If we were stealing, wouldn't we go the whole schmear and yank it outta your heads? Take the duplications as a compliment! That's all! None of this steal-steal stuff! Come on!

Not all of us whites say that disgusting word like you think we do. It's the kind of word that makes my teeth itch. I can't even stand to hear blacks saying it, so there! Don't go tarring us with the same brush. I despise racism mor ethan anything, and it's pathetic that people go judging each other just because they're different coloured and drivelling on about awful events that are practically prehistoric by now. Cock.

Okay, to the twerp who said that cornrows are Chinese or Japanese or whatever you said-get a life. It isn't true, so act your age, not your shoe size.

Nicole, please don't laugh at racism. It's horrible. In the words of my sister, it's not funny-FOOL! But I do agree with your words-well said.

Leroy, I live in an awfuly racist area too-I live in England, in this shitola county called Wiltshire (or in my words Wiltshit) and I don't get why people bloody hate blacks. It is so stupid.

If hip-hop is only for blacks, then how come Eminem is successful and is respected by cool black artists like the group D12, Royce Da 5-9 and Fiddy?

I admit, whites made racism worse, what with dumb airhead blondes called the Nazis and a bunch of poofs called the KKK who are too scared to show their faces. But that doesn't mean all us 'honkeys' are racist, or that we believe in it-there are a lot of whites who hate it to, so before you go mouthing off at people, get your facts straight!

Sorry about this ranting tirade, I can't help but get mad. Let's get back to the hair, as this whole thing is unspeakably old.

And Adam, I speak for anyone who knows this-your rows do look great. Keep 'em in!

Peace

Looking good Adam! I stumbled across your site while cheaply looking for a new cornrow look online(I have an appointment later today and don't know what I want, lol). While you didn't help me with decision, you did provide a bit of love. So right back at you!

You're a cutie with or without the rows.

Peace and love.

It's all about the cultures you like, and not about race anymore since we all live together now. Asians, Caucasians etc. with cornrows is just another way of being diverse. What about 'The Wu-Tang Clan'? If I'm not mistaken, Wu-Tang is Black people adapting Asian culture (among other Hip Hop groups/aritist who do the whole martial arts thing). I'm Chinese and I respect others who adapt our culture...as long as they're not exploiting it however. If you know what you're doing in regards to cultures, then do it!

I think your cornrows are really nice.

I've been growing my hair in for a while to get rows myself. Do you know what the minimum length is to have your hair done up into cornrows? Mine's at about 2" all around right now. I was going to let it grow out a bit more before I had it done.

--posted by Geo @ Thursday, May 8 2003, 22:23 pm EDT

Hey Adam. Of all the different hair styles that you have posted on this page, the cornrows definitely look the best to me. and since you're experimenting with different hairstyles, I'm anxious to see what you will try next. Spikes, maybe? Some dreads? I'll be sure to keep coming back to see all the different styles you're putting up, if there will be any more.

As for what everyone is saying about all the discrimination, it's all a bunch of bull, in my opinion. I just think that people should look at the soul of a person, not the race or religion. I believe that people all look different for a reason, and I guess you could say that cornrows is a way for people to express how they want to wear their hair. Wouldn't it look kind of dumb if all races stuck with the same hairstyles and clothes? (i.e.-white people in "prep clothes," black people in "gear," and so on and so forth.) And I know that a lot of people that white people should look "white" and black people should look "black" and asian people should look "asian." But really, who gets to determine what race gets to rock what look? Because if you remember back in the day, everyone, no matter what their race, seemed to wear the straight-legged jeans and t-shirts.

The important thing to remember is that we are all PEOPLE. So that right there makes us all the same. We just happen to branch off in skin tones and beliefs. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no mattter what they have to say. But shouldn't everyone respect individuality? No matter how people decide to wear their hair, or their clothes, and even their shoes, it's all about what people like. You don't have to be white to wear Sketchers, Addidas, and Mudd, and you don't have to be black to wear Jordans, Tims, or RoccaWear.

But despite MY beliefs, there are still people out there who don't respect what I have to say. I'm a white female. I currently happen to be in Love with a black male. A lot of people think that's bad. But you Love who you Love....I see his soul rather than his race. But the world would be a boring place if people didn't look, sound, and act differently from one another. I think that people should always try to remeber that.

*Help to tear down the walls of racism and discrimination!*

Stop the hate and the foul language, you guys should all be ashamed of yourselves, you are all acting like its such a crime to wear braids, for petes sake its a hairstyle and yes its a great hairstyle that we have all come to love, we are not stealing it from you, we are enjoying it! I don't see anywhere that braids are patented for black people only. Sorry then maybe we should start saying that black people shouldn't be dying their hair blonde, but we don't who cares, I don't you can be red yellow purple green black or white it doesn't really matter, as long as you are happy with who you are than thats all that matters, its those who are out there cursing and swearing and talking about racism that should be ashamed of themselves! I am white and proud of it, I have learned as well that I may have black genes in me and I am proud of it, I have black friends gee I look like snow thats how white I am, but my black friends taught me how to cornrow my childrens hair, there is to many wars and hatred because people forgot to how to love mankind period! I'm sure that each and one of you out there was not brought up the way you all act the last time I checked we all had red blood in our veins, I think your cornrows look great. Good luck!!

Hey Adam,

I am a 21 yr old black/hispanic woman and I say that your braids are on point. I don't understand why people are getting all hot about your hairstyle because... it's just a hairstyle! I've had cornrows before and now I rock a short fro. It's no big deal because it's just hair, lol. People change their clothes, what's to say that you can't change your hair? Some people are soo silly.

Anyway, do your thang and be you, hon. It's what you feel comfortable doing, not what other people expect you to be. I think it's cool because you're trying new things, expressing yourself and getting outside of the confining box that I call race.

So, do tha damn thang, babe! ^_^

First of all everybody who has used tha word 'racism' obviously dont know what it means, it means--the belief that one race is superior to another--nobody had said that black people were better. Second of all we just dont like people taking our stuff, some guy said earlier that all ethnic minorities like and share the same styles...........that is 100% incorrect, ALL ethnic minorities act like blacks. We cant have anything for ourselves anymore, the clothes, slang, hair. Pretty soon it wont just be a 'black style' it will be a everyday style fo wannabes. And im tired of these people saying we should be happy or flattered that they wanna be like us, Yall dont tell us how we supposed to feel. And what gets me is that hispanic people try to make it seem like they are really close to the blacks and say they dont like white people ahhahah.....U ARE WHITE PEOPLE FOR GOD SAKES ahah WHERE DID YOU GUYS GET UR EDUCATION????LOOK IT UP IF YOU WANT any person with sense knows that hispanics, latinas, etc. are IN FACT WHITE. So hispanics plz stop dissin white people just cuz we do it....after all they are ur brothers and sisters.Third of all We arent just mad cuz you are stealing the braiding styles.....that stuff leads to people actually thinking they are black and sayin tha N word......now i dont know where white(hispanics including)/azns get the nerve to say nigga. I think they just lost there minds and what gets me, everytime i say dont say that shit its a racist word and you will get yo ass beat, they say no it aint its just another word for 'homie'...the funny thing is that the non-black people are the only ones that think that hahahahha. Fourth of all what is with these people break dancing like they made it up? U ARE NOT THA SHIT THINK ABOUT IT: you are doing a dance that was already done in the 80's by blacks.......why do u think there are hardly blacks doing these dances.....that just be like bringin bellbottoms back. And for braids, we just simply look better...you guys's braids are very sloppy the moment they are done and you can only keep them in for about 2 or 3 days so for all you people that dont get it for free i bet you see now that it costs alot to act black hahahahahhahha. WE can keep ours for 2 or 3 weeks. I just hate it when somebody says "Im kinda black cuz i grew up around black people" or "i have alotta black friends so you can see me as black" These guys are hard core wannabes. U dont see us sayin "im kinda mexican cuz i eat allota tacos" or "im kinda azn cuz i like kung fu movies" this is evident that people are desperately tryin to be black.......besides for the females who aint black who try to be is a real turn off...they use tooo much slang that black females dont even use that much and they do anything to get at a black man..............i guess i shouldnt be complaining about that. welp im finished............and im not racist im just sayin be yoself not US.

Well homie, braids came from us the mexicans, the Indians invented them!!! So whose smarter, maybe you should research that. And do not even say that you are not racist, because you sure do sound racist!!!And yeah maybe the mexicans can only keep the braids in for 2 or3 days, but at least we can keep our hair clean, unlike you after a week your hair smells, I do not know how you can walk around with that nasty smell!!Do not get offened it is just the truth!!!Peace out my nigga=)

I have braided my hair multiple times in my life, and I want to get cornrows. No one should have to feel like they have to justify what they like, or what they want to try. I think the style is creative, and easy to manage, and beautify. Props to the africans who created and carried this style through all those years. But because I'm not black, I shouldn't have to be prejudised against, or have to come up with a justification for doing it. But if it helps you all-I am part Native American, who were originally Asian, who were originally African. So, one could say that I am related and have justification to do so. Or not. Most would just see my pale color(Irish). It shouldn't matter. There should be no "color boundaries", since when were boundaries a good thing??? Do what you want, and don't listen to what others have to say.
Ah yes, and I think you look best with long hair ;)

Some people like to think that hairstyles or clothing styles are "exclusive" to one particular group-I think that's immature and closed minded. This is a global community-we should feel free to share our culture with our other brothers and sisters on the planet, regardless of race.
I'm a black/amerindian/white woman and I wear East Indian clothing (sarees & Punjabi suits) because it's pretty and it suits me.
If you like the cornrows and respect the people they came from, then I have NO PROBLEM with you wearing them.
Go for what you know, baby! :)

i think the cornrows look great on u^^you should put more pic up. as for the haters ...i feel so sorry for you.how narrow minded can ppl be. all this shows is how insacure you are in your own culture.beside what gives you a right to have asian tattos or wear permed hair when u say ppl outside our race can't sport something like cornrows.you all are being hypocyrics by saying that so stop.it dose'nt matter if what race u are so long as u look good in it.have some faith in the strengh of our culture.

question for the haters: am a blk person who like rock music and don't talk slang, dose that make me white?:P

Hi Adam:

Your cornrows look hotttt! It's just a hairstyle, end of story. Why does everything have to turn into a racial issue with some. Anyhoo,I am a black american and I have a page dedicated to my natural (relaxer free) hair styles. Hit me up for the password so you can check out my pics and styles too!

Hey Adam, I think your cornrows look pretty good.
I just learnt how to do them this month and have been practicing a lot and tryin to learn new styles. Anyone know any good websites with pointers on other styles such as the zig zag ones?

I'm a Polynesian/Spanish girl and I live in New Zealand. All the Poly's here rock braids and cornrows, I don't think it should be limited to just the Afro-Americans or Hispanics. Its quite amusing to read the comments about how Asians or non black people who have braids are trying to be black.
How does a hair style determine what race or ethnicity you are?
You need to wake up and realise this world is now a multi cultural world full of people of mixed origins.

also...If ya dunno what polynesian is its hawaiian/samoan/maori, basically anyone from the polynesian islands. Most peeps dunno what it is when I tell them Im Poly.

WUN LOVE.

I am black, and i am so dissapointed in the people of my race who came on this website and made these ignorant comments.U guys are so DISGUSTING. If u believe in heaven and hell, then there is not an icebergs chance in hell yall are going to heaven. Thats why other cultures think black people are ignorant because of the stupid comments we make. Why r u trying to promote "the hood", people in the hood dont care about shit like that. The only reason they come at you is because you di or said something wrong, not because your asian with cornrows! Those people talking about beating people up and pissing on them are probably perpetrators. I have never met anyone from the hood named "Doug". Go to the real hood and tell them your name, they'll probably make you feel so bad that you wont ever want to come back to "the hood".
peace out yall

I like the cornrows and the long haired look on you, very nice. Down here in Miami, Florida i see different races of people wearing cornrows, dreads, spikes, and even mullets, all of the time.

You're lucky because you have a nice round head and a nice face on you so you can handle it.
There are black people who don't wear cornrows simply because they don't have the "head" for it.

Oh yeah, never get a mullet, it's never flattering on anyone.

I think the braids look nice but do you people really know what it means to wear braids? I am an African American female who is in tune with her culture. I don't think people of other races should wear braids or cornrows because it does not represent them. Braids is a hairstyle that was brought on by our ancestors and we as BLACKS have EVERY right to maintain the rights to the styles. I mean come on man...everything aint for everybody.

PS- I still think you look good though.

Oh yea, another comment: I think Asian men (Japanese for instance)look good with long hair. Probalbly 'cause the way they used to have them real long in other periods long before now.

What is the matter with you guys. You should really think about all the problems the world is facing and now in comparison think about this debate about the cornrows and what race should wear them...Now does it seem that important??

What a curious site. I'd just like to add that cornrows on a white guy add a certain intensity... maybe its the contrast between the scalp and the hair, a certain dichotomy if you will. Asians get the same effect... possibly more so, due to their darker hair colors.

As to the racist guys on here... if I, as an Anglo-American, wear cornrows and walk through your "hood," I'd hate for that to mean I'd have to gut you like a fish or bribe you with some type of donation. It shouldn't be like that, it'd be a real shame if it is. What happened to imitation being the sincerest form of flattery?

I don't think Adam meant for this to be a site where you get to put races other than yours down for trying something new.....I'm African and mixed, and I've rocked straight hair, cornrows, curls and now I'm on a natural tip thinking of going back to rows.....all I want to say is rock on Adam and everyone who isn't black and want to have it done......look at Bo Derek....need I say more?

I think the cornrows look good on you. You should get them a little smaller and with some design such as zig-zags. No race owns a hairstyle so u can wear anything you want. Dont pay attention to them haters they just need somebody to braid they hair.

yo fuck the black ppl who think they own the fuckin world..their is no such thing as a race that owns a fuckin hairstyle. Some times black ppl can b so fuckin ignorant. A hair style is a freedom of expression, and nobody can tell u wat,how, and if u can do it.

So despite Cornrows, dreads, and braids being in our race's history since before recorded time, you think we shouldn't voice our opinions on why we don't like other people using a cultural tradtion of ours. Personally I find it flattering that everyone wants to have the black look. Very sort hair, braids, dreads, are the most popular copied styles out today.

I would think 6 inches would be a good starting point, though other people have written that they have gotten cornrows with only 2.5 or 3 inches of growth. Do a search for "inches" on this page to see more.

I'm Black, and I think you look GREAT in cornrows. You should wear them all the time, because they help to keep long hair under control, so you can grow it as long as you like. They are also beautiful as an art.
Cornrows are not just an African thing, so I teach my students how to deal with all hair textures. They were worn all over the world. It's just that people kept wearing them in Africa after the trend went out in other places. It is coming back though, and I am glad.
So wear your hair with pride and don't let haters get you down about it. It is lovely and it frames your face well.

I have had rows multiple times and got nothing but positive feedback. In no way do I act or think I'm black, and that's why I'm accepted. ITS NOT WHAT YOU ARE, ITS WHO YOU ARE.

Not all have that kinda attitude but for those who do.... conrows and braids are not made for black people.... the reason why black people tend to braid there hair more often is cuz it is easier to manage than the afro.... not only that but it is nice to experiment and do different this with your her while you are young and you still can. Black people straighten their hair white people curl their hair... I like your hair... i think conrows look good on anybody and everybody... but there is no reason why black people should show attitude especiallly black girls.... we white girls dont disrespect them just cuz they straightened their hair... most of the time it looks good on them.

I agree with julllz from Canada. Maybe someone has an issue with a non-black guy getting cornrows in USA. But I'm not an American, I'm a Swede, I'm white and I really can't understand this race thing. I'm thinking about getting cornrows myself, and I don't think anyone is going to beat me up if I do. Don't you who has an issue with white people getting this haircut see this as a sign that many white skinned people is interested in your culture? I mean, I have dark skinned friends and I don't think they have a problem with me getting this haircut.

Actually, if someone will beat me up, I think it would be white racist. I mean, idiots exist everywhere. I'm not white, I'm a human and I think cornrows is a really cool hairstyle.

French, I'm sorry but you've been gravely mis-informed. Cornrows as well as other braided styles have always been a part of the lives the of dark-skinned, wool-headed folks in the African continent. Please check your history and try not to post things that are as rediculous sounding as "...Blacks stole cornrows from the french..." I'm also french, and I find it offensive to my Black husband and children that you would even say that. on a related note, I think everyone should appreciate each other's culture, it's a way or learning to live together...and dude, your cornrows look DAMNED GOOD

WOW! This is amazing! I do believe that the initial question was "Which do you like best?" He did not ask for anyones approval. (Damn!)
I think that you look handsome with long hair and cornrows. As a matter of fact I stumbled across your page looking for some new styles (getting my hair braided today)

no im sorry but u are wrong the french did invent cornrows bot they were called french braids toni although i dont think it matters what race

--posted by french @ Sunday, November 23 2003, 23:58 pm EST

French, Hieroglyphs and sculptures dating back thousands of years illustrate the braiding techniques Africans paid to their hair. Braids were etched into the back of the head of the majestic sphinx. I won't debate this any further other than to ask you to please study your (our) history. One other thing, french braids and cornrows are NOT the same type of braid, a french braid is done using an 'underhand' motion, while a cornrow is braided with an 'overhand' technique. you are going to believe what you want regarding this matter, as do most of us 'non-black' people, but just know that many things we use and take for granted, were created by, invented by, or started by Blacks in Africa and stolen by 'other' people. Peace.

PLEASE ANSWER!

It's refreshin' to see people of different cultures experimentin' with such different hairstyles. Personally, I think they look good. They don't suit everyone, of course it depends on what your hair is like. I'm a 19 year old white female from Melbourne, Australia. Greek mixed with English, German and Australian. I rock cornrows all the time..but my hair is naturally thick and wavy, so they sit just right. It's what I love.
But as usual, it always boils down to it bein' a 'race issue'. Why is their so much ignorance in the world that narrow minded people can't seem to see past their veil of hatred?
It's a hair style, that anyone can choose to wear. You tellin' people who aren't black to stop rockin' Cornrows is just as bad as me tellin' you to stop straightening and colouring your hair.
It's all stereotypical mumbo jumbo.
Quit hatin' and grow the fuck up. Ignorance is a curse and people like those I've seen up on here who are hatin..make me sick to my stomach.
Adam..do what you do. Don't let anyone put you down.

its so amazing how this discussions been goin on for a year now. and it went from hairstylin to racial issues. first of all im not racist, im half asian half american, and i would like to raise a very important issue. some black people (and im not saying all) say that they are being discriminated against and that white people are racists. what they dont realize is that they themselves are the ones being the racists. i read one comment here from a black lady saying that cornrows on an asian is wack, and that white people should not copy what black people do. isnt that racism? people whine too much saying that theyre being hated and that everyone's a racist, but then they themselves do it. hei we cant have a white rapper! but it's ok to have black basket ball and football players. what the hell is that? then there are those white people who generalize that every black person is a bad person. my dad is white and he thinks that all those black people with their 'bling bling' are a bunch of show offs. he also thinks that every african american is a criminal. and yes i am ashamed of my father! crime is such a stigma for the black folks and that is sad. let us not assume that every black person that we see on the street with a paper bag has a pack of dope in it. a lot probably do but not all~!. but the bottom line is... do what you want, as long as you don't hurt other people. asians have the right to cornrows too, everyone does. why do we all have to be asians, or blacks, or whites? can't we all just be Human? i hope that some day all these walls will be broken down.

all this stuff about race ; just appreciate the fact that thlis asian dude looks real fine with his hairstyle, as far as I'm concerned with all the hairstyles shown. Stop making excuses to let the world know your (boring) race issues, which have nothing to do with his hairstyle but more to do with your personal issues. If I want to read that, I'll browse on a diffrent topic. I'm sure it's not what the subject had in mind either after posting his pictures..

it is amazing how many people are angry about this. how can we expect a society of equality when people get mad about wearing similar hair styles? i am white and i had my hair cornrowed before going on spring break because i didn't want long hair in my face in 95 degree heat. cornrows may be a hair style with african roots, but look at the rest our society. we have traditions in america rooted from around the world. people who are offended by this whole concept - be you white, black or whatever - need to spend some time looking at yourself, because you are the problem more than anything else.

I can understand both sides of what people is sayin'. I'm a black teenager with cornorws. I think the reason why some blacks don't like it when other races have braids, is because there is such a long history to it. Braids are a way for africans to feel closer to eachother. You should feel pretty close to the braider after sitting down for 2 hours. And miss KKK is wrong. Most hispanics aren't "white europeans." Most are mixed with indian and spanish. Your a little bitch Miss K.K.K. Without blacks, asians, and hispanics, America would be nothing.

And not everyone thinks that it's ok to call white's "cracka." Personally, I think nigger is much worse than cracka. And don't act like you know what racism is. You will never know till you been racially profiled, and had racist things done to you. Maybe you have though, I don't know. But if you have, it's probably cuz your a racist skank yourself.

i'm a black teenage girl in NY livin in both da bronx and upstate(da burbs)...this thing yall talkin about is crazy.i say if u want braids do ya thing.sum ppl don't look right with them so yall shouldn't get them.not cuz u white, black, indian, asian,hispanic...but because ur face don't go with braids.yeh braids is tied to the black cultrue but in this day and age it is more associated with the hip hop culture.Everybody is a part of dat so we can't discriminate.And yeh u can argue and say dat black ppl started hip hop for us to speak out about our struggles and have fun.but look at hip hop today...how many ppl in da game is bein true to da roots anymore.and if u wanna argue the whole african culture thing then think about this...how many of us really wanna go back to africa.not south africa where everything is kinda alright and got cities but da heart of africa where da animals is loose and runnin around.and EVERYBODY BRINGIN THIS TO A RACIAL THING...CALLIIN NAMES AND SHIT...STOP IT.DAT IS SO IMMATURE.NONE OF US KNO EACHOTHER.its just stupid remark after stupid remark tryin to defend and hurt races.i swear ignorance is a disease.everybody jsut need to STOP HATIN.

i'm not a profesional but i can cornrow any type or texture of hair better than that!!!(not showing off) i have tips on how you can prevent your hair from getting damage because of the weight of the rows and how to keep the rows longer and maintain "fresh" look. be sure not to over do it because the roots of your hair will slowly lose it strenght. be adventurous and do not pay a lot just for a few rows and uncomplicated cornrows. last but not least do dtyle wich enhance the spape of yr head and the structure of you face. CORNROWS ARE NOT ONLY TO MAKE YOUR HAIR LOOK GOOD BUT ALSO TO ENHANCE YOUR LOOKS.

Hey Adam...wanted you to know that those braids look good and to ignore these people trying to hate on you. I live in a very diverse city in California...i think its really cool because almost no one cares what race you from (almost because you can never generalize people). Im a Filipina, and i braid people's hair as a hobby...its a hairstyle...its not like your claiming to be another person your not..immitation is the best way to show admiration...so just stop the hating.

First of all I think ur corn rows look tyt on u. N bout all dese pplz tryin to act black I dun think juss cuz a person styl dier hair a different way dey tryin to b a different race. Dat juss means dat dey like da styl n it's wrong fo ppl to get mad n say yall takin our styl cuz it ai'nt deirs in da first place. N I get mad wen spanish pplz b tellin white a azian pplz dat dey tryin to act black cuz most of da time so r dey. So if sumone who ain't black is wearin corn rows it don't mean dey stealin anythin it juss means dat dey like da hair styl.

I have taken the time to view your site. For all the time put int your braids it looks like an amatuer job. I hope that u did'nt pay too much for this job. If u paid more than 10.oo dollars u were ripped off. come look at my site braidzetc.com coming soon. If you would like a preview to what braids really look like hit me back at damnthembraids@yahoo.com and i can e-mail some pics. No matter what your ethnic background. A good hairdresser can do any type of hair. hope to hear from u soon...(smile)

Hey Adam I think your hair looks cool man! I'm a Black man in China right now. I am american and I live in Shenyang, China. It's nice to hear that an Asian man thinks that Black is Beautiful because the people in China think other wise. I hate to say it but in China Black people and it's culture are not respected or liked at all around here. I came to China with Dreadlocks and I had to get them cut out because it was like the whole world was laughing at me. The Chinese here just didn't respect or understand my culture. They just considered it ugly and would laugh and point. As strong as I am I was too weak to keep my hair in. The Chinese in China love White people here they want to be like them so much. All my friends here are White and I see it first hand. You can be the ugliest and oldest white man and then they can have a decent looking Black man and there can be ten chinese girls and all ten of them will go to that White man. None of them will even give a glance to the Black man, so in China the Black men(mostly from Africa) have to date the russian women instead because the Chinese and Koreans don't like them It's a class status thing and a "I think they got money" thing. I think it's the other way around in Japan. I think they looooooove us over there, thats what I keep hearing anyway. I love Asian girls. I love chinese girls and when I am with my Chinese girlfriend I kiss her in front of everyone. The chinese go crazy when they see that because they dont know the future and they think that I'm soooo Black and it's an ugly thing but we think it's beautiful. They dont know that a Black and Asian mix is beautiful. I'm sooooo happy adam is with a Black girl now I don't feel lonely anymore. Do your thing Adam have a baby, get married and just show the world that all barriers are made to be broken.

this is a fact for all the haters here:
about 80,000 years ago there was a huge volcanic explosion which left about 5,000 people alive and because of that we can\'t tell a person\'s race through DNA. this means EVERYONE is related to each other. also, the human race is said to have originated in africa, so there ain\'t no reason why you discriminators should be saying anything. i am an american who is mostly white but still have indian(pequot and algonquin) and maybe some african ancestry,and its horrible what some people have said. i respect everyone equally until they do something to piss me off.
to adam: i think the rows are pretty fly. i bet where you live people respect you for WHO YOU ARE, unlike the racist asses who made threats to you (they probably angry cause they got AIDS from being stupid and ignorant). i\'ve been braiding my own hair for about a year (no one around me knows how to braid), and i\'ve only been getting compliments. so keep true to yourself, cause i bet your a very respectful man.

I\'ve said this before, but I\'ll say it again. Natasha is not a professional hairdresser. She helped me with my cornrows for fun and for free. It\'s all good, so there\'s no need for hating and criticizing.

hey.

great site.
i was just wondering because i read some of other peoples messages, anyway, so white people shouldn\'t wear cornrows right? because of respect yeah?

i was only asking cause im a white guy and i was thinking of having them done, but if i shouldnt have them done out of respect for other people, i wont, can someone let me know. thank you.

Look I\'m black. If he can\'t rock them braids, then people other race, don\'t get your nails done by your local asian salon, don\'t fucking eat rice, or order takeout from a china restaurant. Now whuh! Now how rediculas does that sound. So let everyone do what they want, him rocking them braids don\'t hurt or disrepect a single black person. And if it do, then u obviously ain\'t got shit 2 do. Holla

Anyone can get a hairstyle they like and borrowing from other cultures is part of the multicultural society that we live in today. Im white as hell and im a damn good makossa dancer (dance from congo/zaire) all my african friends just think its cool that i thought myself to dance a traditional african dance as well as they can, noone will care if i get cornrows as its a popular style here in ireland for all races. looks good on you adam

Hey Adam I think your hair looks cool man! I\'m a Black man in China right now. I am american and I live in Shenyang, China. It\'s nice to hear that an Asian man thinks that Black is Beautiful because the people in China think other wise. I hate to say it but in China Black people and it\'s culture are not respected or liked at all around here. I came to China with Dreadlocks and I had to get them cut out because it was like the whole world was laughing at me. The Chinese here just didn\'t respect or understand my culture. They just considered it ugly and would laugh and point. As strong as I am I was too weak to keep my hair in. The Chinese in China love White people here they want to be like them so much. All my friends here are White and I see it first hand. You can be the ugliest and oldest white man and then they can have a decent looking Black man and there can be ten chinese girls and all ten of them will go to that White man. None of them will even give a glance to the Black man, so in China the Black men(mostly from Africa) have to date the russian women instead because the Chinese and Koreans don\'t like them It\'s a class status thing and a \"I think they got money\" thing. I think it\'s the other way around in Japan. I think they looooooove us over there, thats what I keep hearing anyway. I love Asian girls. I love chinese girls and when I am with my Chinese girlfriend I kiss her in front of everyone. The chinese go crazy when they see that because they dont know the future and they think that I\'m soooo Black and it\'s an ugly thing but we think it\'s beautiful. They dont know that a Black and Asian mix is beautiful. I\'m sooooo happy adam is with a Black girl now I don\'t feel lonely anymore. Do your thing Adam have a baby, get married and just show the world that all barriers are made to be broken.

this is a fact for all the haters here:
about 80,000 years ago there was a huge volcanic explosion which left about 5,000 people alive and because of that we can\\\'t tell a person\\\'s race through DNA. this means EVERYONE is related to each other. also, the human race is said to have originated in africa, so there ain\\\'t no reason why you discriminators should be saying anything. i am an american who is mostly white but still have indian(pequot and algonquin) and maybe some african ancestry,and its horrible what some people have said. i respect everyone equally until they do something to piss me off.
to adam: i think the rows are pretty fly. i bet where you live people respect you for WHO YOU ARE, unlike the racist asses who made threats to you (they probably angry cause they got AIDS from being stupid and ignorant). i\\\'ve been braiding my own hair for about a year (no one around me knows how to braid), and i\\\'ve only been getting compliments. so keep true to yourself, cause i bet your a very respectful man.

cornrows are for whites only, straight hair is for blacks only, afros are for asians only, curley hair is for eskimos only, and mohawks are for arabs. theses are the rules, and you can't go outside of them, and that's that. WHAT??? to all the people who claim that they 'own' or that they 'invented' a certain style or aspect of culture - you are very disillusioned. you personally didn't invent shit, and the real originators probobly didn't mean for their brilliance to be kept for only a select few or certain group. if you knew any thing about being an artist or an inventor, you'd know that these people take great pride in their accomplishments and usually want to share their creations with the world. some great people are probably rolling over in their graves right now for the lack of understanding some of you people have when it comes to your idealogical thinking, or lack there of. the only thing you 'own' is your own ignorance and arrogance. the only thing you have 'invented' or are 're-inventing' is a lack of self respect. in order to hate another for their differences you must really loathe yourself. hate is a reflection of insecurity. every race in this world would not be what it is today if they had not shared their cultures over the years. all you so called experts out there better re-study your history and sociology books, unless i am asuming too much to believe that you ever had any real basis for your racist retteric. every race has some sort of envy for another race.thankfully, it is apparent that for most of the people on this site, we display our envy of other cultures as respect and an appreciation. power, greed, wealth, poverty, hate, biggotry, shame, and jeolousy come in all colors, as does love, respect, tolerance, curiosity, and the ability to learn and change. i am not a color.i am a human being, as are we all. i have cornrows. i do not relate to every person who has cornrows, just as i do not relate to every person who embraces the other aspects of my lifestyle/clothes-style/music-style or any other aspect of what makes me who i am. i would hope that every person out there feels free enough to live outside of the box of the cookie-cutter stereotypes portrayed by these so-called internet gangsters(laugh, not scary)and self oppressors. be true to yourself, don't be fake, follow your own heart, use your own brain, and keep it as real as you know how. oh and back to these fake ass computer thug wannabees. first of all your ass is on the f-ing internet, pretty gangsta if ya ask me. If you were half as bad as you all are pretending to be, you'd keep it in the streets. and for the record i've been up and down the east and west coast,n.y. to the n.o., atl, chi-town, detroit, cali, overseas and back, from the grimiest pj's to the most conservative burbs and every in between, cornrows through and through, and i've never had any punk ass bitch step to me or even have words cuzz of my do.if you looked at me you might think that i was white, but like i already said you can't simply clasify me by a color.i am not a color.i am a product of diversity. i am hip-hop. you are not a color. we are not colors. embrace your diversity, respect your differences, and don't buy into the lies, you are what ever you allow yourself to be.peace.and buy my albumn.

Adam, I'm a 48-year young black man (oops, African-American, wouldn't want to offend anyone) and I never cease to be amazed at the value judgements people still make based on hairstyles. Ninety percent of the illiterate knuckleheads who are giving you a hard time over your cornrows couldn't program their VCR's to stop flashing "12:00", let alone write computer code or start their own companies. What you've got IN your head will stay with you even if your hair fell out; that's the bottom line.
There's a hilarious, far-too-long thread on another website on how no good, devout Muslim black man would dare to wear cornrows and only black Muslim women should wear them. $50 to get cornrows and then they have to keep them covered? I'm missing the logic.
Anyway, Natasha did a fantastic job, they look hot on you, and even if they didn't, it's your hair and nobody else's.
By the way, to those who think cornrows look "gay", I dare you to say that to Allan Iverson's face. Oh, and throw an ice-filled plastic cup at him as you say it. Let me know what happens (LOL)

Hi Adam,

Adam--
Your hair looks great. I was doing research on cornrows when I came across this site..boy was I suprised.
An African-American friend of mine told me that I shouldn't get cornrows because it's robbing her of her culture.
I'll make this brief: the vast majority of the 'racism' on this site is not coming from Caucasians. There is an over abundance of OLD terms being used such as black, hispanic, oriental, white..etc. Get real--it's the 21st century..update your vocabulary.
If you want to do something--do it. Don't worry about what people think. Remember people-we only live once. For the haters: Take a trip to Cali, NY, Miami and you'll be in for a rude awakening!
One last thing-- Racism is not just a "white people thing." If someone thinks all white people are racist--think again. I date outside my race and love learning about other cultures. Get educated and support diversity. Peace y'all..

Adam the cornrows are the best look for you! It really bothers me though that so many people--mainly my own people--black people--have a problem with other races doing cornrows. And what irks me is these same ones will be the main ones straightening their hair...so are they trying to be white? No one owns the exclusive rights to a hairdo..come on now people! Besides, having cornrows is a compliment to our race. It shows that other people see the beauty in our rich culture. So instead of judging and promoting hate, learn to appreciate others and their culture.

At first i was all like hell no the asian dude did not go and get his hair cornrowed. (By the way Adam I honestly dont like that style on you. I reckon u looked better with the long hair, but thats just my opinion and i aint sayin wot u should or shouldn't do.) But after much laughter with my sister on a number of the comments made above, I (or should I say we -my sister and I) came to the conclusion that u can wear wotever syle u want to. If we're gonna get picky about people infringing into our culture then we shouldn't get suprised if they turn around and do the same to us. Wot if the asians turned around and said 'wot gives u the right to do martial arts. Or why do y'all wann waatch manga or anime - look at pokemon and yu gi oh, they're prime examples.Me personally i don't like men in corn row full stop, be dey black, white or asian. But as for the whole stealing the culture thing...if cornrow is the only thing u can cling on to as your culture, i feel extremely sorry for you. U black people wearing trousers, t-shirt etc, do u realise thats a white man ting. We were wearing our skins blud back in da afican bush. So what is u gonna say if da white man turn around and say "why y'all tryin to be white? Go back to ur juju worshipping, neked days?". You'd be screwing at the racist rudeness of it all. So people please, use a bit of common sense, like the sister up there said - educate yourself. And find your culture

Its good to say more asians getting cornrows, im filipino and i get cornrows all the time and people love them. i think asian hair is good for cornrows because we have shiny and little bit oily hair, and since our hair looks jet black (except in the sun it sometimes has a lightish brown to it) it looks great.

Hi Adam,

We think you look just gorgeous with your cornrows! You are right, cornrows, braids etc. are not a matter of race. We are a braiding salon in Germany and we cornrows Caucasian hair mostly, but we also have asian and african customers.

WOW there's some racist in here!

Anyway, I'm a WHITE 21 year old male with some long hair - the reason I grew it out is so I can donate it to locksoflove.com (cancer patients). I find my hair to be really annoying, always in my face, etc. I wear a hair allll the time to cover at work, which I need to put it in a bun for. More annoyances. So I'm gonna have one of my black friends braid it up for me. Is that ok? Breathe...Breathe...

GOOD LORD HAVE MERCY A WHITE KID WITH CORNROWS!

So ya, the racists in here (unfortunately mostly white people, but I can't control my race. Shit, my own father isn't exactly the most open-minded individual) can all burn in hell for all I care. It's a damn skin color, and somehow oppresses everyone that not a fucken albino.

I was doing a Yahoo search and came across this website.

I was [kinda]shocked to see all the negativity going on here... from both blacks, whites, and others. I can honestly say that i cant Imagine anyone i know Caring about whether or not an asian person is wearing some cornrows. At most,they might be like "Umm..okaaay" but thats all. I cant really speak for them, but i know that they wouldnt try to beat someone up for it. Theres some people (one was white, one was some crazy sounding dude from California-hispanic i think) on here, that said bad stuff about black people, because "some" black people posted mean stuff. Well, that was ignorant, cuz saying rude/mean shit doesnt make You look any better. One guy said "Who's the carcker now"...the fact that some black guys said negative stuff on here, doesnt balance out or supersede the harm that white people have done toward black people in the U.S. for a Long time, and still are doing (If you actually know history,and read up on current statistics..i did many h.s. papers that just so happened to be focused on jail/prison sentencing,minorties in the workplace, ect and 1 place/city had only about 10% black in their population, yet they Somehow made up about 90% of the jail population. Like no white people are doing anything wrong). Anyway, for the person who said if you say white people shouldnt wear cornrows, then black people shouldnt straighten their hair... I seriously doubt that black people started straightening their hair to look white, and your statement holds no ground, since its not like Only white people have straight hair..most races other than black, have straight hair as their norm. Personally, my mom put a relaxer (sometimes called a perm) in my hair when i an innocent little 9yr old. I didnt know of any type of perception that went along with it, etc, etc... but anyway, I was recently looking online(I always look stuff up that i want to know about..i love to learn/read) about products that would make my hair healthier - a lack of funds has made that hard for me pretty much all my life- and i found what i already knew..that Relaxers are bad for hair,weaken/damage it, etc. So i was like "I'll stop relaxing my hair then" since this IS about making my hair healthier(Hell, when i was in the military i found that i had eaten about 3 cheeseburgers in 1 wk,which was a lot for me,and i was Not working out, so i figured the Least i could do was cut out meat - not just beef,so i wouldnt overcompensate by eating a bunch of chicken or something..and ive been a vegetarian for 2yrs now. No crab, which i Love, no fish, etc. I do eat eggs though. So my point is, when i decide on something,thats healthy,i usually dont deviate). My hair is about 3 inches past my shoulders right now..i dont know what type of hair style i'll get as the new hair grows in and gets longer..i dont want an afro(if my wavy curls are even tight enough for that) but i may get dread locks..i really like how they look. Mine would be nicely manicured with slight highlights, not messy looking. Anyway, People on here, and everywhere else can say whatever they want and swear up and down that they are just Such a good/nicer person and dont treat people differently based on race... but thats not what i've witnessed about half the time. About the first time i experienced racism was when i was 7,we were at a shelter, and some white girl, about 1 yr younger than me, said she could play with me cuz she might get black spots all over her, then she ran off to play with just her older sister. It must have been in the year 2000 when i was a sophmore and i was on a school fieldtrip...myself,20 other black people, and maybe 4 white people, were on the sidwalk after unloading from the bus, and some a guy in the passenger seat of a car that was going about 40mph, hung out of the window and yelled "...Fk'n Niggers!!" I thought to myself "Okaaay". That was in Fort Wayne, Indiana. At that point in thim, i must have been going to one of the "blacker" schools that i had attended. My mom moved a lot, so i went to about 4 diff. h.s. but always liked school - and went there to Learn, not gossip or flirt with guys. I went to 2 really white schools - like 90% white, and 2 that were about 80% black(i went to Ball state for 1 semester,felt a lot of racism there,but the Professors were Wonderful). I wasnt a loner, i had a some friends(both black and white), but i didnt really run in a clique and was into my studies more than most. When i got home, from age 12 to 17, i usually had to babysit(3 younger,wild acting kids),Every night. So i didnt grow up with a huge social life or as a party animal. That was the Least of the shit i went through at home,babysitting was Nothing. So facing assholes - both black and white - at school and on the street, didnt make my life any better. And what makes it worse, is that i was ALWAYS a very nice, kinda quiet, caring kid/person...but people didnt care to extend me the courtesy i gave them. Now, im still a good person, but i care less..After a while you have to. If you knew all the shit i went through (mainly at the hands of my own mom) you'd be shocked that im a nice person and havent killed someone(or some People) by now. Not yet.

P.S. I dont think that asian guy is cute. Not ugly, but not cute. Anyway, i think the cornrows looked okay, nothing amazing. I think as long as you dont mean anything bad by using another races "trademark" style - and Yes, in my opinion, cornrows Are something special to the black race - special meaning, almost exclusive. For those that are saying "Oh asian and white people wore them a Billion years ago" Were talking about what we've seen like, in the last 50 years, and thats Not been other races wearing cornrows versus the African American race. Period. I grew up in about 5 states(im from Virginia), and have Lived in more, and i have seen people of other races with cornrows (maybe once per 2 months) and didnt think anything of it...other than maybe they hang around some black people, or simply like the hair style. Im not crazy about the hairstyle itself anyway(i dont think its Flattering to most people's faces). I Do get twists sometimes, which kinda look like cornrows and i have the back loose/straight. As far as those who say cornrows are an aspect of the black race that should be acknowledged as special to the race,etc, there are SO Many other things, that are so wonderful/amazing about the black race(triumphs,resiliency,diversity,and accoplishments),that i feel cornrows are very low on the list, if there at all.

Hey I'm from the Philippines to and now want to have cornrows! I wanted to see how they were likely to look and it's great to have found your photos! I've had my head shaved since about a month ago and was hoping it'd be long enough but summer 2006 to have cornrows (stylist told me 3 to 5 inches!)

Can you tell me what it's like to look after, I assume your hair is the same as mine really wirey!!!??

Thanks again the photos are really helpful

--posted by Fellowbrave @ Monday, December 5 2005, 12:53 pm PST

Hey

I'm a black woman with natural, non-straightened hair. I love my hair texture and am proud of it. I also like to see others embracing African hair styles. Maybe at some point they'll be accepted enough that blacks can finally wear afros, dreads, etc in the workplace without being discriminated against. In the past, a black person would be fired from his/her job if they did wear their natural hair. This is why you see many with straightened hair and the like, the fear of not being accepted. It's only now that times are changing, it's slow, but it's changing. I know two black guys that were recently fired from the police force for wearing dreadlocks/cornrows because they were not 'professional'. Hence, you see why there's a resentment when some blacks see other cultures wearing black hair styles that sometimes we're not even allowed to wear. I myself chose to wear my afro because I just no longer cared to conform with the European standard of beauty often enforced on jobs and in other places. I know a lot of black women that want to do the same, but are really afraid that they'd get fired or told to straighten their hair again. And it's happening even nowadays. Even my parents are warning me against wearing my natural hair styles (they grew up in the 60s though so they saw the discrimination in the workplace first hand).

The whole idea of having someone "stealing" a culture does get some blacks paranoid, because we get very little credit for anything (positive) in the first place. There were black people who greatly influenced our world in a positive way: inventors, scientists, rulers, etc, but history often ignores them unfortunately or sometimes, credit will go toward a white person instead. (Some slaves had invented things, but under law their masters would get the credit for their inventions.) In addition blacks weren't allowed patents for a while, so that sucked. As another example, there were black pharoahs in Africa but most anthropologists/historians attempt every measure to say/prove otherwise, claiming blacks are incapable of contributing anything worthwhile, never mind pyramids. With all the accomplishments Ethiopians were credited for at that time, some of them even claim Ethiopians weren't black. Debates on this occur even to this day.
I have other examples, but I think you get the point.

What these resentful posters really fear is some extreme form of cultural appropriation where the originating culture is forgotten or doesn't get credit. It does happen. Just keep in mind, black people, that our culture isn't the only one that is "borrowed". Look at the asians for example. There's a lot borrowed from them in the media/fashion industry as well.

I think everyone should read this great article, it will probably explain what I mean much better:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation

Now, this doesn't 'justify' the resentment of some blacks you see on this forum. I don't agree with their attitudes either. But I'm just trying to articulate their mentality so that all you can understand why they think the way they do. I used to think the same way, but I realized that I was really just jealous that people of other races were wearing afro-centric hairstyles while I felt 'hindered' from doing so. So I just stopped caring about the status-quo at my workplace, stopped straightening my hair, and got over it!

But things are getting better for us blacks. I'm seeing more and more black women in commercials with cornrows/dreads/etc and even sometimes cast in tv shows. Even more women in the professional world are doing it. That was unheard of just a few years ago!

I personally think that Adam, like other people I've seen wearing afro-centric styles, just really admire black hair styles and wanted to try something new. If we blacks want to preserve our culture, it's important that we share it. Challenge the system! Wear your natural afro hairstyles more instead of perms. Try wearing it at your jobs, parties, etc. When people ask questions about your hair or about black hair styles, don't roll your eyes, answer them. Cause honestly, they really don't know. Most of them aren't trying to be rude/sarcastic. This is an opportunity to reach out and teach people about ourselves. By informing others, we can dispell a lot of the media stereotypes everyone thinks we are. The more we keep to ourselves, the more we leave the world ignorant to what we're all about.

One more thing, I see a lot of support for Adam and that's a great thing. But some of these same supporters are insulting blacks at the same time! perhaps unintentionally:

One poster "datchinkyeyedpimp" was bragging about his braided hair and then refering to black women as 'black hoes' in his post, but for women of other races he used the term 'gurls'. I find 'hoes' to be pretty offensive. In fact, I'm so sick of hearing it used towards black women and I know this dude is just rambling whatever he heard on TV. The term 'hoes' shouldn't be used at all toward any race.

Another poster by the name of "Frankie" claimed that blacks wished "THEY HAD LONG HAIR TO BRAID INSTEAD, THEY HAVE NAPPY BUSHES COMING OUT THEIR SCALP." That looked like hypocrisy to me. How are you gonna support black hair styles then diss the afro hair texture at the same time??? That doesn't even make any sense. Again, that kind of attitude will make some blacks resent the idea of others using their hair styles.

So I just want to remind all posters to be respectful in your opinions, and think before you speak. No need for harsh language to make your point.

I know what some of you are thinking. "It's just a hair style, what's the big deal?" Just read the article I posted in the link above, you might gain some perspective on the whole issue.

Well, Adam, I'm all for you 100%. You look good in your cornrows, (plus I have a thing for Asian dudes with long hair, so sexy). I think the more mainstream black hair styles become, the more accepted they'll be outside of just the entertainment industry.

ok I'm off my soapdish. thanks for listening
bubye!

I just wanna say I agree with what some people say, cornrows belong to black people, and therefore should only be worn by black people. Like wise the buisiness suit belongs to white people and should only be worn by white people :). to take it further basketball was created by a white person, and following this incredibly racist train of thought, black people shouldnt play the sport, professionally or even non professionally, in fact black people should all go back to africa white people should go back to europe and asian people all back to asia, and america should be given back to the natives. (SEGREGATION RULES!!)........wait a minute, that didnt make sense did it?, so i'm a white bwoi who's gonna get braids as soon as possible :)

I just found this site while searching for photos of Asians with dreadlocks. I know there's a site somewhere about that, I saw it before, just gotta find it again. Anyway, I want to say Adam that your hair is lovely, and it looks lovely on you, too. Continue to experiment with your image however you so choose, and ignore the racist and utterly ignorant comments posted in this thread! To harbor that level of hatred can only bring harm to yourself, it's like a fire that consumes from within! Indigenous peoples all over the earth have always borrowed from one another's cultures, be in terms of fashion, foods, practices, et cet, and if a white person wants in on that, I say hey, the more the merrier. I'm a (freeform) dreadlocked African-American muslim woman currently residing in Hawai'i, and everyday I have the pleasure of witnessing cornrows and dreadlocks on Asians, and it's lovely. I understand what it's like when others think you are being something you aren't. In my teens growing up in Florida, I was in the goth clique, and it wasn't easy for me, being the only black face in the crowd, constantly being called white girl, told I wasn't black, et cet. And this was coming from both black AND white kids. Go figure... Yet, it's always been my way of life not to care what others have thought, and I continue to abide by this train of thought everyday. I only hope that you will continue to do the same. If it harms none, so shall it be. Take care.

Wusup Adam, I'm African American and recently started wearing my hair in cornrows again now that I'm out of the military. Also wanted to let you know I think the cornrows look good on you and that you should ignore the racist and foul comments by both blacks and whites. I compliment you on your courage for trying something new. It is a good thing that you have embraced apart of African American culture and part of ending racial hatred is learning to appreciate other cultures. I myself admire Asian culture and think the fact that you have tried this hairstyle will hopefully make Blacks and Asians appreciate each other more. Peace.

I just saw Shaolin Soccer again and noticed the
female soccer team that the Shaolin team faced
sported half ricerows.

Hi Adam. You don't know me but you should check out my myspace page and see my work. I usually cornrow asian hair. I think you look very handsome with cornrows... or without. I would love to work with your hair if you're ever in my area or if I'm in yours. It was nice viewing your pictures and reading about your experience. Check out my page.

I love the way they look on you! I'm getting them done tomorrow for a DB race on Saturday and I'm really excited cuz it'll be my first time!~ =) I got here because I was searching for pictures on the Internet and your entry was the only thing that popped up on Google when I searched Asian and cornrows. Have you done them again since?

No, I haven't done it since. Perhaps in the future as long as I keep my hair long!

I want to get my hair braided too. Anybody know a good spot in San Diego to get it done?

Whites do pull off cornrows better than blacks. Simply because we're less uglier.

I'm sorry but I have a really hard time trying to understand this broken coon English. Can someone speak properly for once on this page?

To the writer of the comment above - the KKK member, your use of the English language is horrific. I have a hard time understanding your english as well, because there is no such thing as Â´less uglierÂ´. Next time try - not as ugly as or less ugly or simply uglier. ItÂ´s obvious your family is not originally english or you just canÂ´t speak the language.

Everyone has the right to wear their hair any way they choose. ItÂ´s amazing how this is such a big issue in the US. I am European and black, and I have never been to the US and have absolutely no intention of visiting. Too much bad vibe, too much racism - one all sides!

I think you guys need to lighten up and realise that the rest of the world has moved on. On many holiday resorts in Europe where there are migrant african families, you can get your hair braid, be you white, yellow or red.

Get over it America and stop bugging the rest of us!

Heh, Adam-

The cornrows are OK, but you look awesome with the long hair.

And, to another poster, Spaniards aren't white.

I have a issue because it's not just a hairstyle for me. It's not just hair. It's my heritage. I don't appeciate you or anyone else for that matter, denigrating one of the few things that survived the Middle Passage by referring to the protective style of African hair as being just a hairstyle.

Hey, wait maybe I should don a kimono, after all it's just a dress.

Hey Adamn,

I'm amazed that this has been going on now for over 3 years. But what amazes me most is that you have turned a simple website about a hair style (which looked great on you by the way), into a fairly accurate representation of the bigotry STILL ingrained in people in the 21st century. At what point in time will all of this nonsense end? We live a global community, there are no races that are "better" than any others, yet this sentiment still persists. Saying that a particular hairstyle belongs to a particular group is like telling African-Americans to "go back to Africa, because this continent belongs to white people." What a ridiculous statement.

Folks, this world has become a melting pot. What that means, is that not only will races meld together (supposedly in harmony), styles, languages, and the like will also meld. If you have to resort to violence (as many posters on this site have suggested) in order to preserve the sanctity of your particular race, creed, or group, you've resorted to the same sort of mentality used in WWII by Adolf Hitler.

Congratulations.

If this is the sentiment put forth by the people in this world nowadays, we're more screwed than I thought.

THANK YOU ADAM, FOR MAKING THIS PAGE. My name is ching and people call me chingy naturally because they like it, i dont tell people to call me chingy because i try to be black.

AS MUCH AS WE HATE RACISM IT IS AROUND AND ALWAYS WILL BE AROUND BECAUSE WE ARE ANIMALS SO RACISM IS NATURAL AND WE CAN'T STOP IT NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY, IT'LL ALWAYS EXIST AS LONG AS DIFFERENT ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS LIVE WITH EACH OTHER.

I'M HMONG/ASIAN AND I HAVE HAD AN AFRO AND WORN CORNROWS SIMPLY BECAUSE I LIKE HOW THEY LOOK, NOT BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO BE BLACK. I TALK GHETTO BUT DEVELOPED THE ACCENT BECAUSE IT WAS EASIR TO TALK IN, NOT BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO BE BLACK.

I think your cornrows look great, don't listen to those who make other races feel alienated and put off from learning more about other customs and cultures they are simply feeding the ongoing negativity.

Yes it is a look which historically is worn mostly by black people but I think it shows that there are things about our culture which others find interesting even to the point of emulating.

Keep rockin the fab do, it looks great and who cares what other people think. :-)

P.S for the haters I am black and I welcome people who care enough to learn more.

I think the cornrows definitely look cool and I dig how you can rubber band the stuff in the back. As a white guy I have always thought cornrows and braids looked pretty cool and right now I have some real long hair and could get them as well buuuuut I dunno...It takes some guts for a white dude to get cornrows. I almost want to get them just because it would rid me of some of the hassle of having long in my way all the time but in the risk of being looked at like a wannabe I probably wont. Personally I hate me some overblown wiggers and would not want people thinking I associate with them. Personally I have pride for culture just like you or any african american might which is why I choose not to get braids. It sucks that if I had cornrows it would be met with ridicule and snickers because I think they look badass and I would be one sexy beast with em :>)
