Question & Answer
Is a Bantu knot a cultural appropriation?
Bantu knots are a traditional African hairstyle. When worn by Black people, it's a celebration of heritage. When the style is worn by others, it's important to acknowledge its origins and give credit, rather than rebranding it as something else (e.g. "twisted mini buns").
