For the New York Post, there seem to be a few words that they’re just not quite getting—something isn’t connecting, you know? We see this confusion in a recent article titled: “UFC is inspiring the hottest new hair trend.”

These so-called “boxer braids” look eerily similar to a style that we in the exhausted black community call, “cornrows,” “plaits,” “banana braids,” or simply, “our hair.” Following a photo of Sasha Obama, Alev Aktar writes:

The first daughter joins a raft of high-profile beauties sporting a version of the now-ubiquitous boxer braids. Fueled by celebrities and the popularity of UFC fighters, the center-parted reverse French-braid style has surged back into fashion. The woven look, dating back to ancient Africa, has been worn by celebs including the Kardashian clan.

Let’s reflect on the cognitive dissonance that must occur in order to refer to something as both “ancient” and a “hot new trend.”

There’s also the little detail that while this style of braiding does date back thousands of years ago, it has literally never stopped being a popular and practical way for black people to wear their hair.
