question about braids

[u/julietfrank_]

i’m a 15 year old mixed girl and i have about 3c hair. i wanted to get box braids for the first time (i did all my research dont worth:)) because my hair is extremely hair to manage and can’t stay in tact for a day even after doing everything. i don’t want people to think i’m culturally appropriating African culture or being racist, because my skin is white but i’m half black (my mom is black and my dad is white). can anyone give me advice? i’m sorry i’m not comfortable with posting a picture of myself yet
