History of plaiting.






Braiding started in Africa with the Himba race of Namibia. These people have been braiding their hair since 3100 BC. In many African tribes, braided hairstyles were a unique way to identify each tribe. Braid patterns and hairstyles were an indication of a person’s 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 socialise. 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.

Braiding, for enslaved Africans, was a political act. For those Africans who made the middle passage and were forced into slavery, their hair was often shaved off completely before they set foot on American soil. However, once their hair began to grow again, they deliberately engaged in hair braiding to hold on to their cultural identity and to demonstrate a silent act of resistance and defiance to servitude.
