Long braided hairstyles historically have been a typical African hairstyle. These are worn in a variety of manners, such as one long herringbone braid starting on the back center of the head, and braided the length of the hair; particularly attractive when the hair is very long. Another popular style with African men is the long individual braids – extremely popular in Jamaica and very easy to keep for a long time. Different objects, such as beads, fetishes, and other icons can be maneuvered into the individual braids, in some styles called dreadlocks. This style has been popular throughout history with the Hindu Shiva worshippers of India, the Sufis of Pakistan, and the Rastafari as a religious practice.Braids for Women
