Braids aren’t just a hairstyle, they’re a piece of history woven into our identity. From Africa to the diaspora, we carry our ancestors’ stories on our heads. ✊🏾✨

Slaves even made maps from cornrows in escaping, it's amazing how we used hair for survival 💖

Some claim white guys rocking braids or cornrows is straight up cultural appropriation and theft of Black culture. Truth is braids have existed across Vikings, Egyptians, Celts, Indians, and countless ancient societies for thousands of years.
