When I first saw and fell in love with Fulani braids, Alicia Keys was singing her heart in a video. Why we love Fulani braids? They are exquisite, distinctive, and have a rich history. Braided hairstyles have a rich history and cultural significance that dates back several centuries. Fulani is actually the name of a large nomadic tribe in West Africa. Braids were used to tell a woman’s marital status, wealth, power, religion, and even age.
