FAQ: Festival Hair Braids

What is the spiritual meaning of braids?

Hair is a symbol of one’s spiritual practice in Native American culture. Combing indicates mind alignment, and braiding represents thought Oneness, while tying represents thought fastening. Allowing hair to flow freely denotes harmony with life’s flow, while braiding denotes feelings of unity.

Does plaiting hair make it grow faster?

Braiding hair does not increase the rate of hair growth. So, if you’re suffering from hair loss due to breakage or over-styling, wearing your hair braided could actually help you grow it out. Wearing your hair in too-tight braids, on the other hand, can cause damage.

When braids get loose is hair growing?

It’s possible that your hair is growing if your braids are loose at the roots. However, this may not be the case. The result may be associated with various factors.
