Hairstylist Breaks Down Celebrity Braids (A$AP Rocky, Drake, Rihanna) | GQ

[@DaBreadLoafDon]

Bro I saw this and already knew Drake nipsey travis and Rocky were gonna be in here😭

[@bryson0206]

rocky tooo clean with it!!!!!

[@eddythewire3755]

Drake is not know for his bread, he is always copying people. He is so corny.

[@juicemanirving]

Well it’s in the title

[@bbssxcugc_]

travis literally copied asap whole style 💀

[@blackfrieza1912]

​@@eddythewire3755. So by your logic everyone is corny because literally everyone is copying off of others😂

[@starheartskull15]

braiders deserve every penny, when i was learning braiding in cosmo school my hands were ACHING after a few mins😂 all of these styles are so cool tho, love how there are so many different variations to fit someone’s personal needs/style. huge props to my beauty people 💙

That's cause it's for Black ppl Y'all Ain't Black

[@gladysalmodovar4273]

You rock your braids so beautifully and your explanation was phenomenal

[@earthangel8399]

Asap Rocky is the one who made box braids fashionable for younger male rappers.... Drake is late to the game... Alicia Keys should've been mentioned...she rocked braids before Riri and Zendaya

[@JNR569]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@agbo3282]

When i think Rap and braids, Rocky's name comes to mind first.

[@erin7945]

Yea these descriptions of plats vs box braids vs cornrows is kinda all over the place.

[@EmpressAshe]

😂😂 ikr

[@ohhyeahhbaby1]

Rocky would look great with any hairstyle

[@AyaanKhan-tb2ot]

He is like a model ngl

[@Markaylaa0]

I used to hate Drake with braids but it definitely suits him well. Very well.

[@MM-gp9mb]

Yeah it took a while to get used to on him

[@zenagitana]

No mention of Alicia Keys? She did Rihanna's version 20 years before.

[@brianjohnson2409]

Ayooo! I always knew I'd be watching you do your thing for the whole country to see. Proud of you girl. Never doubted your path for a moment. Keep grinding, you've got even farther to go 😘

[@M1BIGIEMAC]

I've been rocking straight backs in the same few simple styles for almost 15 years. My hangtime is super long. I think Sean Paul probably had the best braids ever back in the 2000's. Ludacris and Omarion had some clean ones too.

[@rooseveltanderson971]

The 3 styles I have in rotation asaps,pop smokes,Nipseys 💯‼️

[@emonikellum428]

The fact the Alicia Keys isn’t on this list is CRIMINAL

And Ludacris too

3:36 those are actually flat twists, not braids

[@anto2895]

I’m actually a huge fan of Lisa’s braids in this video. I’d love to see a 360.

[@bandaqueenlove9134]

Great video, but I would have loved if there was just a few seconds/minutes to talk about the significance of braids to Black people. These aren't just "braids" they are braiding hairstyles and patterns that Black people created and popularized

[@crystcl6]

Loved the video! Beyonce's would be iconic, she's had so many styles over the years. Especially, in Destiny's Child!

[@jazzyj904]

Between Black women wearing them the most, why were no dark-skinned female celebs mentioned or hired for this segment? All the women were mixed with Black or light skinned. This was poorly done. An everyday style for Black yet their styles only become a piece of the conversation and the stylist talking wasn’t even making sense half the time. Some of the braids weren’t even properly explained. One these pics weren’t even of braids.

[@JNR569]

She sounds like she doesn’t know much. 🥴 Maybe she does but cannot interpret what she means. 💀

[@EdonttalktomeH]

She shouldn’t even be talking about this.

Please use a culturally Black / African American person. This was not the time for Afro-Latinx representation. A lot of this info is… partially correct due to the lack of cultural understanding of some of these brand styles.
