The Himba are indigenous peoples with an estimated population of about 50,000 people living in northern Namibia, in the Kunene Region (formerly Kaokoland) and on the other side of the Kunene River in southern Angola HAIR... Hairstyle and jewelry play a significant role among the OvaHimba, indicating age and social status within their community.[4] Both men and women wear adornments around their necks, arms, and feet. An infant or child will generally have his or her head kept shaven of hair, or with just a small crop of hair on the crown of the head. This soon is sculptured, for young boys, into one braided plait extending to the rear of the head. Young girls have two braided plaits extending forward towards the face, often parallel to their eyes, the form of wear being determined by the oruzo membership (patrilineal descent group). The style remains during preadolescence until puberty.[4] Some young girls may also have one braided plait extending forwards, which means they are one of a pair of twins.[4] From pubescence, boys continue to have one braided plait, while girls will have many otjize-textured hair plaits, some arranged to veil the girl's face. In daily practice the plaits are often tied together and held parted back from the face.[4] Women who have been married for about a year, or have had a child, wear an ornate headpiece called the Erembe, sculptured from sheepskin, with many streams of braided hair, coloured and put in shape with otjize paste.[4] Unmarried young men continue to wear one braided plait extending to the rear of the head, while married men wear a cap or head-wrap and un-braided hair beneath.[5][6] Widowed men will remove their cap or head-wrap and expose un-braided hair. The OvaHimba are also accustomed to use wood ash for hair cleansing due to water scarcity.[4] *thank you @kidz_of_biko love your page. #braids #africandiaspora #himba #indigenous #angola #africa #culture #history #design #beauty #intlilovebraidsdayblc @intlilovebraidsdayblc https://www.instagram.com/p/CANrfaDjgJX/?igshid=nyno6wy6xm1r

Recapping the history behind International I Love Braids Day. I am so proud. This day means so much to me. To see this day go from a thought to fruition is heaven made. I was once told I dream too big, my ideas are too lofty and I always reach for the tallest branch- as a dig. I only know how to dream big- had I not, this day- International I Love Braids Day would still be a thought and not an actual day of celebration.
