Why do African blacks wear dirty braids?

Many black people have dirty braids. Dirty braids really once became one of the fashionable hairstyles in China. They look cool and fashionable. So why do Africans like to wear dirty braids so much?

First, it can adapt to the extremely water-deficient environment in Africa. Let's look at black hair. Many black hair is naturally curly, and many parts of Africa are short of water in certain seasons or most of the year, and there is not enough fresh water to wash their hair. This kind of curly hair full of head secretions is simply a hotbed for breeding bad things such as Starscream. They freely eat human secretions from their hair in the cracks of curly hair, which makes Africans in water-deficient areas itch badly. So these black braids tightly wrap the hair together, and then fix it with mud and butter to make a round stick, which is the embryonic form of dirty braids.

Second, reduce the interference of parasites. Now some primitive tribes in Africa still retain this primitive method. This method can not only reduce the living space of bugs in curly hair, but also reduce the frequency of washing hair in the water shortage season, and also expose more scalp to help dissipate heat. It is killing three birds with one stone, so it is loved by many black people.

Thirdly, it was spread by sailors at sea. Sailors who have been wandering at sea for months or even years have also found the benefits of convenience. They also lack fresh water, and rarely have luxury to wash their hair with fresh water, which leads to extremely bad head environment. The benefits of Elsa's dirty braid are the same as those of African blacks just mentioned. As a result, dirty braids were brought to all parts of the world and carried forward with easy sailing. Today's dirty braid has changed from a small skill used to facilitate life to a symbol of fashion and personality. Nowadays, many dirty braids in China are made of wigs, which can prolong the retention time of dirty braids.

Fourth, the braid is cleaner, not easy to come apart, and the texture is better. In fact, braiding is time-consuming. Depending on the number and different styles of knitting, even a skilled knitting machine takes five to ten hours to complete.
