@gisellegarza_: Replying to @g a b r i e l a ⁷ Mexican traditional braid tuturorial! This hairstyle dates back all the way to the Mayan’s and aztecs so there are so many different types of braided hairstyles. Play around with it and make something new! #latina #mexicana #braid

Vida :

See I can’t be doing this with pig tails cause my family be calling me La India Maria

andreagallardoz :

Theres no such thing as Mayan Aztecs…it’s either Mayan or Aztec. They’re 2 different prehispánica cultures 🤦🏻‍♀️

Demonicwhxre :

Thank you for this my father is Mexican but never taught me anything about our culture so thank you so much I’m gonna share this with my little sister

acting_account75 🇲🇽🇺🇸 :

I’m definitely going to be trying this. My dad never taught me because he wasn’t around long enough and I’m not really in contact with his family. I’m getting back into contact with them, but I don’t really know a lot about my culture.

Kelly (spilled) :

CRYS IN SHORT HAIR😭😭😭

Erika :

Never knew this 🥺thank you for teaching our history

Rita VG López :

Braids since pre-colombian times indicate socioeconómico and Martial status.

SONY SONZ :

My abuelita braided my hair this way.

Boom :

Use a lighter to clean up the edges of the ribbon. Be careful.

lilbear :

elsolylaluna :

Thank you for sharing the history 🩷🥹 I didn’t grow up with my Mexican side. I really appreciate you sharing this.

Julisa Sab :

Mi cabello mexicano es tan lacio que cuando me hago una trenza así en 2 horas el pelo ya se salió de la trenza, creo si debo ponerme listones.

jonathanncortezz :

i love our culture

giselle :

Also I said Mayan “n” Aztecs for those of you commenting - I just said it really fast!I’m very well aware they’re different and aware there are many different indigenous groups in Mexico before and besides them.

ela :

Cutee! But also where did you get your skirt??!

Lauren Nicole | SAHM :

Beautiful!

Jessy Martinez :

if you don’t have a liga you can still create a knot to tie it off!
