Hair braiding in Africa has a multi-leveled function within each culture apart from the beauty and sophistication of the designs. What are some of the ways in which social and cultural meaning are expressed through braiding designs? Does the use of hair braiding designs by people of African heritage in the Americas also indicate a measure of cultural awareness and possible connection between the two cultural worlds?
