THE ART OF BRAIDING.
Braiding is a universal practice among many indigenous groups. For Native Americans, the
number and style of braids can represent different aspects of their lives, such as family
lineage, tribal affiliation or personal achievements.
MODERN REVIVAL.
Today, there is a resurgence of pride in indigenous hairstyles as younger generations reclaim
their cultural heritage. Social media platforms have become vibrant places where these
hairstyles are shared and celebrated, where others are educated about their importance and
where representation and respect is promoted. Influencers and activists from different
indigenous backgrounds use their platforms to highlight the beauty and importance of their
traditional hairstyles and promote a sense of pride and unity within their communities.
HAIR CARE PRACTICES AND NATURAL INGREDIENTS.
Traditional indigenous hair care practices often focus on natural ingredients and holistic
methods. For example, many indigenous peoples use plant-based oils and herbs for hair care
and growth. The use of yucca root, jojoba oil and aloe vera is common among Native
American tribes for their nourishing and healing properties.
