Your long braid was invented by the Himba people

Make her hair into a long braid she said!

What the fluff, here in Scotland braid means broad. What did she mean make her hair into a long broad.

A broad bean, they are long right enough.

But no, turns out she means make her hair in pleats of long hair.

You know like the Native Americans started.

Excuse me madam, they did not.

Oh yes they did.

Oh no they didn't!

Then say who did?

The Africans.

The Africans yes.

Fluff off.

It's true

Your long braid was invented by the Himba people in Namibia!

Ask Alexa if you don't believe me!

Alexa...what did the Himba people invent?
