African Style Afro Curl Malaysian Hair Wigs
Hair has never been just something on your head. It is chopped, braided, dyed, spiked, back combed, shaped, plucked, implanted and pretty much anything else you can think to do to it. In pre-transatlantic slave trade West African cultures hair was central to defining culture, status and identity, as it still is today all over the world. The absolute horror and personal annihilation that slave traders inflicted on their human chattel would not have been as effective if culture, status and identity were allowed to continue after people were kidnapped and shipped across the ocean. One of the principle means of dehumanising their victims involved shaving their hair in an effort to wipe out culture and identity. Over time the know-how and ability for personal hair grooming particular to people from West Africans was lost amongst the slave population.You can use this style for synthetic hair extensions too. In fact, they make the twists thicker and longer. When adding an extension, part the hair like you would for natural hair. Start braiding the hair half an inch above the scalp so that you can connect the synthetic hair. Once it is connected, start twisting the hair left strand over the right strand, and vice versa. You can secure the ends with rubber bands and you can also apply hair gel to hold it in place for a longer period.
