'Dos and Don'ts: Black Hairstyles on White Celebrities

Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga and more.

When History Becomes Trendy - From cornrows to 'fros, some of the most popular white celebs like Kylie Jenner and Kesha have been rocking our 'dos. Some argue it is cultural appropriation, others say it is just being inspired. Click to see who else has been getting a little texture in their lives.— By Moriba Cummings(Photos from left: Kylie Jenner via Instagram, Cousart-Rayne/JFXimages/WENN.com)
Kylie Jenner - The youngest — and currently the most controversial — of the Kardashian/Jenner clan posted a pic of herself sporting some fresh rows on Instagram over the weekend, and immediately caught heat for it. Recently, Hunger Games star Amandla Stenberg called her out for her appropriating Black culture, and started a social media feud with the reality star in the process.(Photo: Kylie Jenner via Instagram)
Kim Kardashian - Sister knows best? It's evident Kylie is slowly morphing into her big sis, who rocked this cornrow/braided look for a "hip pop" music video she shot with her now-husband Kanye West. The theme for the clip was "ghetto fabulous," completed with oversize furs and tinted sunglasses, of course. Just keep the appropriation going, girls!(Photo: Araujo / Splash News)P!nk - Rock singer P!nk was once an R&B singer and famously rocked a short 'do, which resembled the looks of Nia Long and Toni Braxton in the late 1990s. P!nk is clearly someone who was inspired, but not appropriating. The pic above is P!nk at her urban best and at the Lady of Soul Awards in 2000.  (Photo: Steve W Grayson/Online USA)
