Oh my god somebody PLEASE help me

so one of my best friends (white girl) is doing mission work in Ghana. She lowkey has white savior complex but she’s a sweet Christian girl so I let her live. but y’all…

okay she told me she was getting braids for the rest of her trip. I thought she was getting the typical white girl on vacation, half braid back with beads jawn 

i.e.

which is WHYte? enough…..but y’all….

I need your help. Can someone please explain to me why she has poetic justice/solange/beyonce braids?!

she sent me a picture and I just….i don’t even know how to respond. I want to post the picture but i know it’ll go viral so i’m not gonna do her like that ( silentnefertiti & brilliant-plan you will be getting this photo…act responsibly)  but what should I say? this isn’t the best time to teach someone about cultural appropriation? and i can’t exactly tell her she looks the fuck turrible, tactfully…especially from across the world. what would you do?

    Friends don’t let friends look bad. If the hair style is not for her, you got to say so. Now, what culture is she...
