Twenty-Two images of braids, and not one black woman shown?

another identification of the key demographic. no problem, actually quite typical. that’s why people are drawn (or repelled) by certain arenas.

there might had not been a black woman but the list did show women from different demographic groups (salma, jessica alba 8-)

btw, i haven’t yet seen tyra, rihanna, beyonce, halle berry, janet jackson, oprah, etc,  using braids

Emmy Rossum cheated… it’s a head piece. It’s not even the same shade as her hair.

@Nia Noa
Black women don’t have a patent on braids just like White women don’t have one on straight hair.

@Pamela
Tyra, Janet, and Beyonce have definitely rocked braids…Braids are so common is there a women who has NEVER worn them ?

Also I think some people are equating basic braids with cornrows or individuals, which are more of the style stereotyped to be worn by Black people.
