Original Note:
The Vikings did not invent braids. Viking hair braiding can be traced back to the Viking Age (793 AD-1066 AD), whereas the origin of braids can be traced back 5000 years in African culture to 3500 BC with the Himba people of Namibia. https://uniwelry.com/blogs/viking/viking-hair-braiding-and-african-hair-braiding https://www.byrdie.com/history-of-braids#:~:text=The%20Origin%20of%20Braids,-Getty%20Images&text=%E2%80%9CBraiding%20started%20in%20Africa%20with,way%20to%20identify%20each%20tribe.
