GET YOUR HAIR BRAIDED
Hair braiding originated in African culture and has been practiced in African traditions and customs for millenniums. It is believed that some of the first humans to braid their hair are the Himba people from modern-day Namibia. Hair braiding patterns were originally used to identify tribal affiliation, age, wealth, marital status, religion, and many other elements of culture and self-characterization. Today, it has evolved from solely a cultural practice to a form of resistance, creative-expression, and celebration of black identity.
Hair braiding isn’t simply a protective style, but a skill and artform. Whether you’re native to the African continent, or a part of the global diaspora, hair braiding has been pivotal to your hair care at some point in your life. Most people wear braids today for the protective benefits, versatility, and the simplicity and convenience of not having to manage their hair once braided.
