The exceptional nature of Black hair goes beyond just cultural differences. The elasticity and tight coils of Black hair cause it to have unique needs. The physical attributes make it more susceptible to breakage. It cannot easily be straightened without damaging the hair. Black people often wear “protective hairstyles” like braids, twists, and locs to maintain healthy hair. These hairstyles can be worn for long stretches of time without constant manipulation. The alternative is often to use chemical or heat straighteners that can damage the hair in the short and long term.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Black hair is also an expression of identity and culture. It’s a representation of history and carries deep emotional significance. Historically, Black hair has carried a profound symbolism. Cornrows, locs, twists, afros, bantu knots, and more all have historic connections to Black pride, culture, religion, and history.

The Bantu Collection was inspired by the Bantu Knots hairstyle.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fun fact: Bantu knots can be traced back to the 2nd millennium BCE throughout 1500 CE to what at the time was the Bantu speaking community that originated from Southern West Africa and spread out through Central, Eastern & Southern Africa during the Bantu migration.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Bantu people are currently found in different parts across the Central, Eastern and Southern parts of Africa where 500+ different variations of the same language are spoken.
