Origins


Queen Mother Pendant Mask: Iyoba
16th century a representation African women in History.

The idea of the African hair archive was born from my conversation with a little girl, a smart and beautiful little girl, who wanted to know why I had extensions in my hair and didn’t wear my hair in its natural state. For the last three years long Box-braids have been my hairstyle of choice, mostly out of convenience than style. However, this interaction did spark a desire to share a rich culture and history of hair styling that is rarely represented in popular culture. And thus my journey of discovery begins, I hope you can join me.
