Greece salon Braiding was and is a social art

Braiding started in Africa with the Himba people of Namibia, says Alysa Pace of Bomane Salon. These people have been braiding their hair for centuries. In many African tribes, braided hairstyles were a unique way to identify each tribe. Braid patterns and hairstyles were an indication of a persons tribe, age, marital status, wealth, power, and religion. Braiding was and is a social art.

Because of the amount of time it can take, people often would take the time to socialize. It began with the elders braiding their children, then the children would watch and learn from them. Younger children would start practicing on each other and eventually learn the traditional styles. This tradition of bonding was carried on for generations and quickly made its way across the world. It was around the 1900s when braids became most popular around the world. Almost all women, children, and most men in some way had their hair braided. In relation to time periods,

Expressions and styles have changed, but braiding patterns have remained the same, says Sims. In todays culture, braids are adorned, worn, and praised in many different ways. Men and women who wouldnt have worn them previously now embrace them. Its a good time to be BLACK and PROUD
