Why do black people braid their hair so much?

1, related to black hair: black hair, whether male or female, is compact and thin, and very soft, layer by layer, but the total length of each hair will not exceed two or three centimeters. Once this kind of short curly hair grows out, the tip of the hair begins to curl back and forth, as if it had to get into the skin before it would stop, making the scalp itchy and stinging, as uncomfortable as being bitten by a bug. Especially sweating, it was uncomfortable to stick it on the scalp, so I made it up.

2, related to the climate: Africa has hot weather and long black hair. After braiding, it is well ventilated and not hot.

3, black hair is very fragile, unlike Asians, you can often wash and blow, to braid. Black people braid their hair and wash it directly, and then tie it after a few months.
