Traditional Hair Braiding and Handmade Nigerian Braid Twist Wigs
Hair braiding is a tradition that has been practiced in various African societies for centuries. Across the United States, women from countries such as Nigeria, Senegal, use braiding as a bridge to a better life.
In the 1990s and 2000s, entrepreneurship and braiders’ ability to integrate the style into African American culture exploded. Additionally, it meant braiding was a secure source of income.

For example, natural hair in Nigeria is associated with their economic status. It is sometimes thought that people in reduced circumstances are more likely to have natural hair. This is a bit strange to hear though. Because after all, isn’t Africa the motherland of everything natural and pure?
