So if you haven’t been living under a rock, you will know that “boxer braids” are all the rage right now ever since Kim Kardashian started wearing them recently.

But this is by far not a new style and MANY, people are offended (including myself) by the main stream media calling them ‘boxer braids’ because in the black community all over the world, people have been wearing these braids and almost everyone knows they are called corn rows.

So i'm sorry if you are offended but IT IS NOT YOUR HAIR STYLE SO YOU DONT GET TO RENAME IT! Very influential shows like Fashion Police and E! News and big fashion magazines are calling these braids 'boxer braids". The terms are Cornrows, Dutch Braids And French braids.

We all know that this generation is VERY sensitive towards everything and cultural appropriation is one of the biggest ones. But in this case, they are right to be upset because the style is being worn by tons of Caucasian celebrities and even on runways for major fashion shows. The upsetting part is not that caucasian people are wearing the hairstyle, it is that they're rebranding it as their own.

It is not wrong for other cultures to celebrate and want to do hairstyles and other trends of other cultures except when the culture that is appropriating the trend receives the credit. This is the ‘Dashiki’ story all over again.

But back to the braids, we should be glad that we can all wear this hairstyle weather we are black, white, Chinese, Mexican or whatever race and color. This is also a beautiful protective style and once you learn how to do these braids, it’s like riding a bike, it will be so easy. Just remember to RESPECT the name.

Here are some of our favorite celebs rocking the braids.

FAUX FRECKLES, THE STRANGE NEW TREND

The faux freckles trend has been going on for a while especially in the YouTube community but now the trend has been all over Instagram and everywhere else. 

The no makeup, makeup look, is the look that usually goes with this trend because it isn’t possible to see freckles through heavy makeup. So minimal light weight make up is a must if you want to pull off this look and still look natural.

Chantel Jeffries (pictured above), most famously known for her relationship with Justin Bieber as well as her large Instagram following, has mastered the art of faux freckles. 

She actually has real freckles but doesn’t like how they get covered by her makeup so she creates faux freckles to bring them out. In an interview with allure she said “I feel like when you do faux freckles, it gives you a more natural look. Even when you’re wearing makeup, it looks like you’re wearing less.

There are actually tons of videos on YouTube that teach you how to do these faux freckles yourself.

 Youtubers like Symphani Soto and Jasmeannnn have thousands of likes from these tutorials. 

I definitely think this trend is a little weird because I have natural freckles that are pretty dark and show even through my makeup. Also both my parents also have freckles so I’m used to seeing real ones.

I actually hated my freckles when I was younger but now I have embraced them and love them.

at the end of this post, you all can watch a tutorial on how to pull off the ‘no makeup, makeup’ trend with your real freckles. This is just a very light weight makeup routine that will allow your freckles to show through.

I honestly don’t find faux freckles offensive because people are doing them in a positive way and it’s just makeup, it’s not that serious!
