Going to a Korean high school with knotless braids for the first time + Classmate’s reaction

i paid $140 for my hair and they did dip it in water but I guess the water wasn’t hot enough so I’m going to do it again myself! Thank you all for the tips🫶🏽

[@2wonderful2u]

Yes the water needs to be boiling hot. And not just the ends, go up as far up the braid as you can carefully. It will relax the braids and they’ll hang prettier and less frizz also.

I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. (Revelation 3:15-18) you cannot live for this world and not try to stop sinning (being cold) and only believing in God(hot) without turning from sin or sinning and saying God will forgive you after or not read the Bible, pray, worship/obeying God. Which is being a lukewarm. If we are neither cold or hot, God will spit us out his mouth. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. ” Proverbs 16:5 “The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before before a fall. Genesis 1:26-27 - “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. Jesus is coming back soon!! Repent and believe!! Jesus loves you and wants a relationship with you 🫶🏽 Plis read revelation 3:15-18 on google if you don’t have a Bible. (Exodus 20:7) You shall not invoke the name of the LORD, your God, in vain. Please don’t use Gods name in vain, it’s dangerous Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols. Jeremiah 2:11) having idols of any kind isn’t good 🙅‍♀️ Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. (Jeremiah 16:20) HAVING IDOLS IS A SIN JEREMIAH 16:20 , JEREMIAH 2:11 Revelation 3:15-18 explains that we can’t be cold and hot at the same time which is being a lukewarm. In other words, if we are hot, which is really repenting and turning from sin) if we are cold we just completely don’t really follow God. If we mix those together it makes a lukewarm which they will be spat out Gods mouth and won’t inherit the kingdom of heaven. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.John 3:16. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 Romans 8:38-39 .. John 3:16 .. Revelation 3:15-18 Corinthians 6:9.. John 15:13 Psalms 23:4 Psalms 23:4 || Yea, though I walk through The Valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; rod and thy staff they comfort me. Deuteronomy 31:8. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

For people who want to know...4A to 4C hair (known as ''Black'' people's hair) is usually prone to dryness. It doesn't get as greasy as straight hair does (of course there are exceptions since we're all different). Once a week to twice a month is usually fine for washing (unless you sweat a lot). However, the mistake that most people with 4A to 4C hair make is not hydrating/moisturizing the hair. Washing the hair with shampoo can cause damage over time, but watering it every day is actually good. Our hair pretty much acts like a plant. It needs water and sunlight😌.

[@JEPiper]

Your hair looks beautiful ❤ and you got them for $150!! 😱😱😱 My advice is: 1. Keep your wash day schedule-sometimes people assume “protective style” means they’re off the hook for taking care of their hair underneath, which is false. I normally wash my hair every 2 weeks so I kept that schedule whenever I have a protective style. Keep the scalp moisturized with leave-in conditioner, oils, etc. (braid spray is a good one, too!) 2. Like everyone else was saying, dip the braids in boiling hot water so they’ll loosen up and lay flat. 3. Don’t leave them in too long! The max I’ll do for a protective style is 12 weeks. There will be a lot of shedding when you take them out (the hair you would normally shed daily can’t shed for a while, lol)-just be patient and gentle when you take them out. 4. Rock them unapologetically. Our hair has the magic/juice, so it’s normal for people to be shook by it 🤪🙌🏽

[@chan-oe5fv]

The color is perfect for you! I love it , it sooths you! tips: Hydrate your scalp with an hydrating cream/leave-in conditionner and oil if theyre not so straight anymore, you can dip them into hot water for like a couple of minutes. You can even curl them by doing a couple of braids and dipping them into hot water.

[@alexuz93]

Box braids and knotless braids are ultimately the same thing, only difference being the way the braids start. With knotless box braids you feed the hair extensions into your hair and regular box braids you begin the braid with the hair extensions at the root. As for care, the only thing I do is make sure I sleep with a satin bonnet or satin scarf to cut down on frizziness. I don't normally wear my braids for more than a month though. Unless you are are touching up the braids (meaning taking down and rebraiding them) it may be hard to keep the braids in for more than a month without them looking old and messy, especially if you're hair grows fast. Hope this helps!

You can also cornrow a section in the front from ear to ear so it looks like a braided diadem. These are some of the things i like to do around that time. There are many tutorials on how to style knottless/boxbraids on yt, I also like getting inspiration on pinterest or tumblr.

You can also try curling the ends using rollers and hot water. Or beads at the end it’ll make them look fuller and frame your face more. Definitely tie a scarf around your scalp and use a braid bonnet if you have one. It keeps the rest of your braids looking neat and if your scarf comes off at night it won’t be as bad with the bonnet protecting your hair.

[@jessicaiyera]

The hair looks great!! The only tip would be to dip the ends in boiling water

[@faas2157]

The reason why Afro hair will not smell as fast and easily is Sebum. Sebum in general is a fat like material that all hairtypes are forming and building. When this fat like material is build up enough trough not intervening or not washing your hair, the hair will become greasy and that fatty circumstance of the hair can lead to dirt building up quicker which ends up in smelling. But the amount of Sebum building up solely depends on the hair type while hairtypes from 1a to like 3a will get easier greasy and therefore also smelly, it’s totally different almost the opposite with hairtypes from 3b to 4c. With those hairtypes Sebum builds up really slowly to almost none which is the reason why this hair will get really dry instead of greasy. And a side effect of almost no grease in the hair can lead to less dirt building up and therefore less or no smell. To my Afro hair sisters, if someone asked why and if it will smell, Sebum can be totally the answer why our hair will not smell or at least has totally different circumstances then straighter hair.

[@snailiesnail]

Girll your hair is amazing!!

[@jenniferrichardson5824]

They look really good on you!

[@adfdcdcxc]

Queen you are literally so pretty oh my God

[@ladybirdlee3058]

Your braids look so good!

[@thisismisskay]

You are GORGEOUS young lady and I totally get it about the hair thing. I live in Canada and questions about my hair and the washing part always come out. People are very curious and find it beautiful. Now girls from any ethnicity want to wear it. This is cool. So glad I found your channel. I will subscribe to know more about you. Keep it up!!

[@GanjaDoll]

These braids look gorgeous on you! You are so pretty 💕

[@NaeToday]

When I wore braids like yours I'd wash the scalp weekly and gently wash the whole braid as needed too. Rinse them well. If your concerned about frizz use a stocking cap, (clean panty hose with legs tied and cut off, leaving the cap for your hair.)then shampoo hair with it on. Dandruff shampoo will help with a dry scalp and moisturize scalp eith leave in conditioner. Still should last 2 months, will loosen at the scalp as your hair grows, thats normal. Sleep with a scarf or satin bonnet.

[@anndeecosita3586]

Great advice. ❤

[@atyamamahouse_.7821]

It’s also very important to oil your scalp Every now and then🧚🏾‍♀️

[@kels707]

you should try curled ends or beads it would look so cute 💗

[@bebechocolateinbarcelona-a5034]

You look lovely. Once you are tired of people friends or not, reaching for your hair, that IS OK. No one should reach for you just because they are curious. Your personal space and boundaries outweigh all external curiosities. Wash per usual, weekly or every two weeks as you see fit. But DO wash it and air dry.

[@ramblingidiot8795]

This might be a weird compliment, but your voice is very soothing. Also, it’s completely understandable to not want your teacher to touch your hair. I wouldn’t be comfortable with it either, especially if they didn’t ask. I’m glad you received such positive reactions!

[@bobibibobibjhhlk4876]

Oh my please add mini jewels and hair ties to your hair it will make it sparkly and bling for the esthetic✨😭

[@deepaselvadurai3763]

Girl you’re so pretty!!! ❤❤❤

[@isagilovebot]

can't believe they were more respectful than in france lol, I once wore braids in middle school and some friends would make jokes like calling me medusa or whatever :(

you look so good omgggg love the color u chose too

[@Idk-man.]

Woah! You're really pretty! 😁👍

No idea how i got on this video but girl you are honestly so beautiful and look like such a kind person.

[@NinaAngelina25]

You're SO pretty!! They did such a good job! It was SO sweet that they said you looked like the new Mermaid movie. Lol 😅 Love that color on you too.

[@Penguin9796]

thanks for letting them observe it. it's a good way to educate people about different cultures. a lot of people in the USA think it's racist for people to be curious about the texture of our hair but it's really the only way for them to truly learn. seriously, thanks for the education you've given them

[@christinamomern9100]

Nobody dislikes, or finds it racist when a person has questions about our hair. We find it disrespectful and races when they put their hands in our hair without asking or trying to pack us like we are a dog. If they have questions they can ask but you should never be touching anybody’s here. I don’t care what race they come from without permission.

[@kymmikmarie]

Thats..not true curiosity and disrespect are VERY different. If you are American you should know this much.

[@ArtIsMyNature]

Pretty braids! I love knotless braids, you can style so many ways

[@Melxdyyxo]

Wow, it looks so good! You're so pretty xx

[@NaturallySharondaMichelle]

You look so pretty I love ur knotless braids get it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@dio_hoestar_4204]

I swear, women/girls of african descent have the patience of saints. I could never sit for hours getting my hair done, or do it myself. I already roll my eyes at having to deal with my 3 curly hairs (im balding help 😭) everyday. Gotta say, it does look like its worth it tho. Braids are so cute. I sometimes do two french braids to protect my hair, but I have very fine hair and a veryyy sensitive head and it can hurt a little bit. When I was a kid, the mom of one of my friends wanted to braid my hair like yours, but had to stop after like 3 braids because I was getting a massive headache from it. She was so sweet, but ma'm please, although I have curly hair, my caucasian scalp cannot handle all that 😭.

[@kerryjones9912]

My obsession, warm water towel all through & down after all those hands & some moisturizing spray after. ❤

[@dwayne5110]

Look amazing with the braids

[@hellokitty2917-]

oh my gosh you’re so pretty

[@popcorn3407]

I can tell youre very intelligent just by this video. Very kind too

[@bknqnzgurl]

I've had braids nearly my whole my life. and honestly I never washed them while keeping them in for like 3-4 months lol (4 months max). I mean if you work out weekly and sweat alot then I guess. I've never had smelly braids. I always find it interesting how other cultures really think of our braids. When I was in my highschool as a minority, no one touched or grabbed my hair like that. At the same time, I wasn't very close to anyone in my class. I'd also feel uncomfortable if someone like a teacher just touched my hair with out asking.

[@Hyunjinswife11]

u can keep them for 4 months I just keep mine for one or two months

[@Vm16002]

It fits you so well❤❤

[@SeremenOdion-ty3lj]

She’s so pretty

[@dc7897]

In Nyc it cost 150 to 1000.00 .. you can use dry shampoo. To loosen it to make it flow better use hair foam and hot towel or steam makes it look more natural and less tight from the first day.. olive oil spray for moisture and I would wash my hair every 3 weeks with co wash more so then shampoo.. if I went swimming in the summer I washed it more with actual shampoo and then refreshed my hair with edge control and hair wrap.. in the winter dry shampoo

[@reitu4385]

bro you're so pretty

[@aliinwonderland656]

You’re not a golden retriever. I wouldn’t allow people to just touch and grab me. You’re a human, just as they are. Nothing wrong with setting boundaries.

[@Fartsquad_]

But tbf you are not her; a student who is also of Korean descent, living in Korea. Korean students are naturally very touchy with each other but only if they are close friends. The interactions in this video seems very natural, they are all probably very close and physical affection and touch is probably an everyday thing for them. I saw especially girls always doing each other’s hair, hugging or cuddling with each other many times while I was there.

[@aliinwonderland656]

@@Fartsquad_ I’ve lived in Korea, Germany, Dubai, Sweden, and Thailand as a black woman. People are curious but as I stated she’s not a petting zoo. Most people use the toilet and don’t wash their hands I wouldn’t allow them to touch all over me. She’s unfortunately been taught that because she’s different she is less then and that’s not true. No I’m not her, and neither are you. I’ve had the distinct privilege of being in awkward situations similar to hers and there’s nothing wrong with setting boundaries & letting people feel uncomfortable with the word no, which is a universal word. If she’s not petting them why must she allow it to be done to her.

[@squares4u]

@@aliinwonderland656 I think you’re definitely reading too much into it. They’re not treating her like an alien or an animal at the zoo. They’re asking questions from a place of curiosity, just as people in the West might do if hair was made up in a new or different way. Most people are happy to allow their friends to touch their hair.

[@Daisy-ue9vk]

Can you not....

[@xxoasiia]

[@STANNSKZZ143]

I have some tips for the braids 1] use moose it helps alot 2] make sure you dip the ends in hot water if you didn't already 3] try to find a bonnet or wrap your hair with a scarf when sleeping 4] you probably know this one but don't wash your hair with the braids on it causes them to fuzz out faster.

[@joxiejoxie6457]

The little mermaid reference, aww haha. This was really sweet

[@ceeceebrownn]

I love her eyes

[@jasnamusic7360]

Our hair doesn’t need and should not be washed daily 😂 braids are protective hairstyles so as long as you don’t leave them for too long it won’t smell

[@susanx6782]

i dont do a lot for my braids, i just put it in a bonnet when i’m at home and sometimes put mousse or hair spray that’s all

[@faitheloveschrist]

When you dip them you do it in boiling hot water and try to get like halfway of the braids dipped as far as you can go make them a little looser and more flowy. But BEAUTIFUL ❤❤

[@malo_mylo3014]

African-Americans telling her she shouldn't allow people to touch her hair when she's African-korean where Koreans are known for their skinship between friends are family members. Smh. This is why she felt uncomfortable and she the teacher went up to grab her hair without asking, and I'm kinda disappointed for not seeing comments about this

[@malo_mylo3014]

@@hanapop3358 that’s literally what I said- only her friends can touch it without verbally asking because they are close, but she and the teacher are not close thus why she got uncomfortable when he touched it. That’s why I said I was disappointed the comments wasn’t talking about that part.

[@atypicalaimee]

Stunningly ✨

[@thejojojo1111]

That male teacher was soooo inappropriate. He was soooo wrong. He should not be grabbing ANYONE's hair , especially a woman's or female student's hair without permission. 🤬 Koreans need to be taught that. I hope you can teach them that.
