“Braiding to me is a calming technique. I love braiding nappy, coarse hair. It’s easy to grab, twist, and design.”
“I chose these colors because I like how green and black really matched together. The green and black reminded me that during dark times there is always a light to help you.”
“Picked brown hair for my sister’s hair, black for me, and pink because I like it.”
“I chose the blue yarn, blonde, brown and black hair because I wanted to experiment with creative thoughts and it became very pleasing. This was my first braid.”
“My colors: 2 strands of brown and 1 blonde hair, 4 strands of green yarn, 1 clear bead. I chose the brown to represent earth, dirt, the ground. I chose green to represent the forest because being outside in the woods is where I find peace. I chose one clear bead to represent the clarity of thoughts I receive when I am in nature.”
“I chose brown hair to represent me and blonde to represent summer. The purple yarn represents self and how I struggle feeling confident in my own hair. Purple is beautiful.”
“Braiding is a creative skill. It (my braid) represents my natural black hair, and reddish strands are for hope. “
“I chose the strands because I wanted variety and color. Braids to me are reminiscent of innocence and childhood.”
