Braiding is not just a style; it is a form of art, expression and cultural tradition.
 
For centuries, braiding was not only known to be a hairstyle but also as a craft that gives many people a certain connection to their ancestors. It is, therefore, a traditional hairstyle which is passed on for generations. Consequently, it is important to note that hair braiding might mean different things to different people and will vary from region to region.
 
What is braiding so important to many people?
 
For some individuals, braiding is a way of life and ultimately it is a part of their identity.

While on the other hand, for many people braiding takes on a more subtle meaning. This simply indicates that for some people braiding is a form of expression. This form of expression is meant to include those who use braiding as a creative channel to express their style or personality and those who use braiding as an artistic display of their skills in hair styling.
