1, special hair quality
Black hair, whether male or female, is tightly curled and very soft, layer by layer, but the total length of each hair will not exceed two to three centimeters. However, once the short curly hair grows out, the tip of the hair begins to roll back and grow back, as if it had to enter the skin to stop, making the scalp itchy and prickly, just like being bitten by a bug. Especially when sweating, it is uncomfortable to stick it on the scalp, so it is synthetic. The weather in Africa is very hot. Their hair is very long. After they are braided, they are well ventilated, cool and not hot.
2. Safety and health sector
Long ago, Africans lived in poor sanitary conditions. Lice and fleas always grow on their heads. In order to avoid the harassment of these small insects, some clever black people want to tie their hair together and fix it with soil and animal feces, thus reducing the living space of insects.
3. Symbol of personality
With the continuous progress of science and technology, dirty braids no longer need the help of dirt and feces. More and more people accept and even like this cool hairstyle. Dirty braids were once designated as "official hairstyles" by Rastafarianism in Jamaica. What really spreads the dirty braid culture in the world is Jamaican pop music-"Reggae Music". A dirty braid like a lion's mane is the standard for reggae musicians, which has triggered a fashion craze.
There is a reason why African braids continue to this day, and now they are accepted by more young people.
