Hair Braiding
Braids are a huge part of my lifestyle!
Braids have been part of black culture going back generations. There are pictures going as far back as the year 1884 showing a Senegalese woman with braided hair in a similar fashion to how they're worn today. Braids aren't usually worn year-round in black culture; they're instead alternated with other popular hairstyles such as hair twists, protective hairstyles and more. Braids are especially popular during the summer months, with June and July being especially popular times to adopt this hairstyle in the US. As long as braids are done with a person's own hair, it can be considered as part of the natural hair movement.
