The Unbraiding Appointment


       

“Braiding is public. Unbraiding is personal. Braiding and unbraiding are complementary, reminding us of the endless versatility of Black hair. Just like braiding, unbraiding is inherited, spanning generations of Black women, the cultural tradition quite literally reconnects us to our roots.”
