Hello from United States we love Natural hair as formal of freedom of expression and healthy style . We call that one Sista Locs.

African styles like this are looked down upon by majority of Nigerians because it is seen backward and not 'modern'. One of the after effects of colonialism. Africans are leaving behind important knowledge about ourselves because we feel we must conform to a world that cares little about us n our culture.

[@jborrego2406]

faith T. Funny they will stop then white ppl will wear it a pretend they invent it

[@ashleywilliams4149]

Well, I care about Nigerian culture and African culture, and I'm black American. It's so good to see these intricate, spiritual and beautiful hairstyles. If only I could find someone to do my hair here like that. Nigerians shouldn't leave their culture for modern things. Maybe they could incorporate them. When I traveled to Africa for the first time, I thought that I was going to see all these traditional clothing and hairstyles. I saw weaves, relaxers, braids, some bleaching and lots of cheap ugly western clothing. African clothes and hairstyles are superior because there is time, care, beautiful colors, fractal patterns, history and culture behind it. I'm not just saying this for ego boost, but it's the truth.

[@jquiet6487]

Ashley Williams there is no African culture

[@faitht.5409]

@@jquiet6487 please take a back seat.

[@jquiet6487]

faith T. Please use your common sense 🙄 there is no African culture. Africa is a continent... with 50+ countries! Are you dumb or stupid?

[@djmlg4175]

Nothing beats original and traditional. I loved your hairstyle. It suits you beautifully.. xoxoxo

[@efiaesoteric3566]

I Agree! I loved this video. So sad the traditional styles aren't being worn. But I guess more women in the village wear it. The Sis in the market would make plenty money here in London. There was a GH Sis who had a hair shop in East London, she knew all the traditional styles and did good business.

[@jenniferashby-okoli2274]

Greetings BattaBox.I'm from the Caribbean.I would most certainly rock this hair style.

[@syreetacarroll7414]

I'm in America and I loved this video and your hairstyle. I stopped using the perm about 4 years ago. Its not easy to find someone that can do unique and natural styles. Because at one point it seemed that EVERYONE was doing the perm and weave styles. So please do more of these videos for the natural women in world

[@gwinyaidhliwayo4878]

Please Please Bring Back Our Old School Naija Hairstyles. You Look So Gorgeous1!$

[@keepingupwithfavour4370]

I remember girls in my state in Nigeria wearing hairstyles like this and with the rubber it brings back so many memories i even remember getting it done thank you battabox edit: I forgot to add I always thought it was very beautiful and i envyed my friends, even now I still think it's very beautiful and the lady was so beautiful

[@OlObuffalo]

You look prettier after you had it done, look how bright and lovely your face stands out. I love these traditional hairstyles. If I had someone to braid for me, I'd wear traditional all the time....Caribbean

[@ansh0133]

Go to Kigali! We're still rocking and loving our natural styles! ;) - Maybe even Burundi, haven't been to Kenya in a while but last I was there, they also appreciated a more natural and refined look.

[@africandiaspora100]

Just came from Kigali, It is so true! The women are rocking their natural hair.I wish more Nigerian women would wear their natural hair and less wigs!

[@NorineNorte]

I Love that hair style, natural hair is Beautiful! Take Care Peace And Love!

Dear reporter you are wrong by saying girls like you nowadays don't plait that kind Hair, Who told you so? I am a girl like you, i am a Godly woman and i love these old hairstyle because they bring out the best in you not those fake and expensive hair you people run after and yet they damage the edges of your hair.

[@adrianabonitaaziz]

I wish i could do this. Its a very good way for growing hair . I only can make two braids and that is all. Nothing can beat the flexibility of black and curl hair. We should be thankful for it.

[@shaikhshoaib7135]

Nice I'm waiting your all video thanks dear I'm from India love your all video

[@merineyit]

I used to see these beautiful, exotic hairstyles quite a lot years ago. I never realised how much pain they caused to create, though, and my scalp was aching in sympathy with the lovely Odun in this video.

[@BattaBox]

lol

[@delishia10]

You look so lovely. I wish we could embrace our hairstyles more. It is part of our cultural identity. Well done. And sorry about the pain.

The picture is so sharp and crisp in this video; I feel like I am there. Y'all keep up the good work.

[@BattaBox]

Thank you for the wonderful comment. Keep watching BattaBox 👍🏿

[@queenblackdiva]

Few months ago i went to nigeria and major part of the women had relaxed hair or really bad weaves/sew-ins (not everyone tho)... The thing that really annoyed me is that when i decided to go out with my hair out in an afro some people were telling me "no, you should get your hair done / it's not good if you go out with you hair like that/ it's not nice/it looks dirty" (some of these comments were also from a couple of family members -_-). I was wondering why is a problem for them if i leave my hair how it naturally grows from my scalp... Plus they cant even handle natural hair in the salon they wanted me to go.. I saw how they did my cousins hair, the outcome was great but it looked too tight to me.

[@jborrego2406]

Black Diva funny USA make it seem like Africa poor but they have money for wigs, weaves , relaxer also look well dressed

The effects of colonialism. I like to call it: Colonialism Conditioning. We're talking centuries of self hate, texturism, and colorism. And though we're gradually learning to embrace our features, the hate is still alive and well.

I loooove this hairstyle. It shows the beauty of a Nigerian woman. Women who braid, fix weavon and the likes use them cos they are not confident about themselves. They feel insecure that's why they braid and the like. I'm a naturalists and I do appreciate styles like yours.

[@FEMI9INEOracle]

I wear wigs every now and again but moreso my hair in twists. It’s the inner beauty that radiates and shines through no matter what your hair looks like. Great segment

I need my hair threaded too :o) This styles takes me back to my youth and the play ground taunts of spider head :o(. Women of today still acknowledge threading as a good way to grow / stretch the hair.

I love your video. And I love traditional hairstyles. The charge too much here in the states so, I get it done every once in a while (like once every OTHER year).

[@ebonysweetnesssweetness5153]

Greetings from the UK ... I loved how this style looked it brought out your beauty. I have natural hair and struggle to have anyone else to put their hands in my head as I am extremely tender headed. I am inspired by the plaited style featured while you was talking with the man in the hat towards the end of the video though.

[@Lola-seven]

Aaawww Odun,this just takes me back to when I was in Primary school.My mum used to ko(thread..lol) our hair every Sunday in preparation for school on Monday. We used to complain then but in retrospect,it was so nice. I have natural hair now and not really a fan of weaves and all that.At the end of the day, it is better to satisfy and free yourself from the need to conform to what others are doing. I carry my hair in braids, wigs sometimes, normal packing and I honestly dont see myself sitting to fix any weave again. That heat and wahala is too much abeg.

[@So_Harufied]

[@alaskanfrogman]

what I truly enjoyed about this video is seeing the very beautiful and well informed Odunayo getting her hair made up. She is already beautiful without the hairdo. But the style she chose really accented and augmented her very lovely face and we got a good look at her gorgeous dark eyes. Ms Oti, did you give any further consideration about the Blacksmiths of Nigeria? It is something personal and of keen interest to me... I am a self-taught knifemaker/blacksmith and is why I inquired about it through correspondences, including email. I hope you are well and in good spirits. Peace be with you always...
