Originating in Africa, braids were traditional indicators of not just style, but culture, family, tribes and religion, according to We Are Memphis. Because braiding took hours upon hours to complete (and sometimes even days), the tradition of hair braiding was also an opportunity to form community and fellowship.

Although the fellowship aspect is cute, the woman's braid headband is sure to come in handy for a quick hairdo update on the go.

@Elle responded:

"The 5 braids are R600? ."

@modjay replied:

"My man would laugh yoh."
