Choose Your Own Thingy

I learned that cornrow braids are not only widespread in Africa, they are also quite ancient.  Cornrow hairstyles in Africa also cover a wide social terrain: religion, kinship, status, age, ethnicity, and other attributes of identity can all be expressed in hairstyle. But stylized geometric models of cornrows are quite traditional to Africa. While adults' hair was often  straightened, children’s hair continued to be a place where the cornrow tradition could be carried on.  WOWWWWWWWWW. Amazing. Utterly incredible.
