Dear World
Since discovering who I really am, my true identity, I came to understand that braids, weaves and wigs are not to be worn by a true black woman who knows her identity. Boaz always hated me wearing braids, he always told me to stick to my natural hair as he found me more beautiful without any artificial hair. Now I understand why.
Egyptian History Of Braids And Snake Worship
I won’t beat around the bush, I will just say it as it is. Braids are originally from the ancient Egyptian Dynasty. They were created to cover the Black woman’s shame after the fall by the serpent. She lost her hair and it stopped growing. Before the fall the black woman’s hair was her glory, it was a long long soft curly afro, big and bouncy. After the fall it shrunk and became like a scab. The black woman’s glory was taken from her also because of her pride. So the Egyptian goddess had to improvise. When you are wearing braids or cornrows, you are simply wearing serpents on your head, as that is what braids and cornrows represent.
Ancient Egyptians loved snakes, it was their religion. For them, the snake was the symbol of LIFE. They believe it was the first creation. Pharaoh wore a crown of snakes. Black Egyptian princesses wore snake crowns, braids and wigs. They worshipped snakes, remember the story of Moses and Pharoah, it was all about snakes. According to the bible, Egyptians are also enemies of the Hebrew God. The Hebrew God had to deliver his people from the snake-worshipping pagan Egyptians.
Apostle Paul did warn the black woman about braids and cornrows, he said, “Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes.” 1 Timothy 2:9
Zimbabwean Women And Egyptian Braids
Zimbabwean women love braids and cornrows. That’s why I was obsessed with braids and cornrows when I was Jean, before I became Lady Mary-Tamar. Boaz didn’t like me in the braids. He said he wanted to touch, smell my hair, massage my scalp and all, the braids got in the way. He said when he was hugging me, the braids were all over the place. Well, I am happy that I have put this Zimbabwean culture of braids behind me.
But how is Zimbabwe connected with the Egyptian culture of braids? One may ask.
Great Zimbabwe, Snake Patterns And Braid Patterns
The answer is, Zimbabwe itself was built by the inspiration of the snake, serpent, dragon, lizard, crocodile. That is why Great Zimbabwe literally snake shapes and patterns. The mysterious Great Zimbabwe has snake patterns and braids patterns on its walls, should I say more? It remains one of the greatest mysteries of this world, like the Pyramids.
Who built the Great Zimbabwe? Who inspired it? What sacred spirit is in Great Zimbabwe?
Can you not see the snake patterns on the walls?
Can I tell you something, the people of the Shona Kingdom came from Egypt before they settled in the small Kingdom of Geshur.
Black Women Wearing Wigs And Weaves
Again, this is from ancient Egyptians. The women and even men wore wigs and weaves. It became fashionable to wear a wig. But it was mainly to cover the black woman’s glory which was gone. It’s sad really.
Asians And Selling Of Braids, Wigs, And Weaves To Black Women
Because of the curse, the only people who benefit financially from the selling of hair extensions and weaves for black people are Asians. They are the ones who were chosen to make money from the fall of the black woman. That’s why black people who try to go into the industry of selling hair products to black people are normally outdone by Asians.
Also black women who do hair, like braids, weaves and cornrows are not able to become millionaires from this profession. Doing black hair is a cursed profession.
Personally, I have never liked weaves and wigs, they just look strange on a black woman. I was forced to wear a wig at the first Black British Entertainment Awards and sadly I looked like a clown. By the end of the event, I had taken off the wig and binned it.
That’s why I will never wear braids, wigs, cornrows or weaves again. My hair is enough. My glory is enough, it shall never be covered or distorted. I am not a pagan Egyptian Goddess, I am Lady Mary-Tamar.

Stop with the myth that black women’s hair don’t grow! It’s naturally dry and frizzy, which makes it appear a lot shorter than it really is. With the right moisturising treatment it flourishes.

Peace. Braiding is beautiful art form – when they are done properly and without pain. Braiding has been used to transport seeds to plant crops. It has also been used to create maps to help persons get from one location to the other – like a GPS. We Africans are beautiful in all of our glory. Yes, our hair is enough and braids are a useful tool.

Braiding and plaiting and twisting the hair or wearing wigs and extensions or showing off physical beauty is sinful to the most high God, he doesn’t want us as followers of Yeshua Jesus Christ to show off our physical beauty but rather he wants us to be known by our inner beauty according to 1st Peter 3:3&4 and 1 Timothy 2:9&10 and doesn’t want the women to be lousy and noisy about their dressing but be humble and covering their nakedness with godly styles not revealing their body parts and not usurp the authority of the Man or even teach the Man

Sorry to brake it or you but Africa is in general the most diverse continent in the world with many genetic variations… that’s a fact.. being North African, we are all a mixture of colours. Genetically it’s just the way our genes work – we could have a black brother and a white sister from a brown mum and a pale dad who’s mum was black. That’s our genetic makeup. Always has been. Same for ancient Egypt. This takes away heavily from our culture basically saying we don’t exist. I believe Nubian culture is being heavily confused by a lot of Americans (and only Americans might I add) with that of North African culture. We are considered North Africans/ nomads / moorish / amazigh / Berber and in a very small genetic percentage some have Arab genetics … all of those are races – we are not the same genetic makeup as that of sub Saharan Africa though many people may have some mix down the line – we are our own race and it’s disrespectful to say because we are not all black that it is not ours. Not all of Africa is black. And the natives of North Africa are not all black. Yes natives – those native to Africa. If you truely believe we all came from Africa then stop denying some of us that were always here!

Well, everyone makes their own life choices. You don’t like braids (which adorned your head beautifully, your “Ori”), that’s fine, but don’t spread these lies that came out of the mouths of slave masters and angry religious people.
As a black woman you should know that this whole story you tell is a big lie. In Brazil the same thing happened. Even today our hair is considered dirty and ugly by white society and marketing.
Cutting the hair and shaving the heads of enslaved men and women was one of the ways to extract their identity when they were trafficked to countries like Brazil and the United States.
It was one of the cruel ways to cancel the identity of various kingdoms, tribes and families. The enslaved were prohibited from worshiping their Orishas, Nkises and deities. They were forbidden to play their drums and musical instruments and to speak their languages. They ripped out their true names and erased their pasts. They forced them to embrace a religion that promised paradise, the return of Christ, but preached that black people had no soul and that, therefore, slavery and cruelty were justified.
Don’t be that person who perpetuates these nonsense that you were told about your ancestors, about your history, about your identity.
Hair is strength, vitality, identity, family, tradition, beauty, etc.
Be in peace, because I am with my ancestry

Isn’t hair braiding a part of most cultures in history ? It was a way to keep long hair under control for hunting, fighting, scavenging, long before writing was even a thing, but 1000’s of year forward in history, we have Vikings, Gaelic, Egyptian, Namibian, Japanese, Mongolian, Chinese, French, Celtic, Saxon and Dutch known to wear braids (Male and female in most cases). It is so naïve to claim any one race invented braiding hair, and very ignorant. If you look up ‘Bog Bodies’ (Ancient people whose bodies are found preserved in peat bogs, and similar places), a lot had braided hair, and come from all over the world, a famous one, the ‘Arden Woman’ comes from the peninsula of Denmark (Circa 1400 BCE, that’s 3500 years ago). So there is even cave art of Neolithic Hunters with what clearly looks like braided hair, in Europe, Africa and even Asia.
