The ever-changing world of beauty makes new things happen every day. It is not possible to recommend all the hairstyles that come and go over time. But one thing is for sure, braids have been a staple in hair history for what seems like forever. No, but really: The history of braids dates back to 3500 BC. In other words, they go far, far back. It's safe to say that the brand has a legacy that is here to stay.

From beautiful cornrows and simple three-strand braids to Dutch braids and more, this style has become a symbol of social status, race, religion and more. Sims explores the origins of braids in African culture. "Braids have been historically significant," says Sims. "The Himba people of Namibia started out in Africa," says Pace. “These people have been weaving hair for hundreds of years.

In many African tribes, braided hair is a unique way to identify each tribe. Head and hair styles indicate a person's race, age, marital status, wealth, power and religion. Hairdressing is a social art. Because of the length of time it takes, people often take time to socialize. It started with elders shaving their children's heads, the children watching and learning from them. Children will begin to interact with each other and eventually learn a culture.

This bonding tradition has been practiced for generations and has spread rapidly across the world. It was around 1900 that braids became the most popular thing in the world. Almost all women, children and most men braid their hair in one way or another. "In today's culture, cloth is used to decorate, wear and praise it in different ways, men and women who would not wear it before are now wearing it. Women approach sewing in different ways. From clean lines to messy braids. Women are taking a new approach to innovation."

Saviano reiterated the same statement about today's handbag styles. "In today's society, we see a lot of casual, casual fashion that doesn't have to be tight or perfect. People accept that braids are less than perfect. "Braids are not just a style; this art is an art form," says Pace. “Women and men of all ages braid their

hair every day. Whether it's a day when you want to let your hair down or a special event full of beauty, the art of cutting hair has evolved beyond the traditional notion.
"Among African Americans, braids are a favorite style for women with textures," says Sims. "This style is used for fuzzier textures as a form of protective clothing, not just for fashion. Layering protects the natural hair from heat and humidity damage.
