Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : This is my first time posting to reddit so please let me know if I’m in the wrong place. 

I am Filipina, was born in the Philippines and immigrated to the U.S. when I was a kid (elementary school age). Recently as my hair has been getting longer I’ve been trying new things with it besides wearing it down or in a bun. I like doing braids but have only ever done a few small ones at a time, or done single/double french braids. But I would like to have my whole head in small braids, like box braids. When I was a kid in the Philippines, my grandmother would make clothing for me and do my hair, and she used to braid my whole head this way. I am in my 20s now and I’d honestly love to have my hair done like this again after so many years (whether on my own or from a salon). 


I’m genuinely not sure if it falls under cultural appropriation against black culture, I don’t want to be insensitive. I’ve tried to research traditional Filipino hairstyles but couldn’t find much. 

So WIBTA if I wore my hair this way?
