Lol at your 'expertise research'. Wider audience don't give a shit about periodical fashion shows from 2009. And these were also adopted/appropriated from the originators of the look, you know, the black community in the 90s and not FKA twigs. Stop embarrassing yourself.

jeez calm down. the fashion industry takes from every culture in the world, not just the black and latino community.
I'm a latina, a 90s kid and a fashion enthusiast who buys fashion mags and looks through every collection available online, so i bet i know bit more than your white ass.
Jennifer lopez was doing baby hair swirls in 2009 and ontd shit all over her, but because now is an English doing it..
but FYI, the hairstyle actually began in 1920s.

Lol a fashion enthusiast. As you were educated in the post below, the cornrows/baby hair combo originated in the black community, and it became widely popular within that community in the 90s. But you keep on enlightening yourself with those mags, curated by white asses for the easily swayed and impressionable.

White women were doing it the f-ing 1920s. I totally agree with the ornamented braids but the babyhair swirls cmon..
Dove Billie and Josephine Baker were doing it back then, a white woman and a black woman during the same period of time.

The 20's is one thing, but cornrows and gelled baby hair is a black aesthetic, which you have shown in the photo above. The style has always been around in the black/hispanic community until a white person makes it popular.

I totally agree with you, cornrows, some ornamented braids, dreads, afro, and the "urban cap"(boil), but the gelled babyhair swirls has always been for over 90 yrs and not only in the black community, 20's gelled babyhair back then and now is the same shit.
I'm not going to assume that because in my community this hairstyle was popular in the 90s, it belongs to my community, when I see that there was a white b!tch wearing it before my grandma was even born.
White folks have taken a lot of our culture, and gelled f-ing hair ain't it.

You are lumping finger waves with baby hairs. they are different looks. the people posted above are blatantly taking from the finger waves trend.
