At Annie’s Touch, every style we create carries a story—woven through generations, rich with culture, and rooted in beauty. Here’s a look at the history and significance of the styles we proudly offer:
Braids – A Legacy of Artistry & Identity
Braiding dates back over 5,000 years in African history, symbolizing everything from tribal identity to social status. More than just a hairstyle, braids tell stories—of heritage, womanhood, and unity. Today, styles like knotless braids, box braids, and microbraids continue to celebrate self-expression while offering protective benefits for natural hair.
Conrows – Tradition, Strength & Innovation
Cornrows are an ancient technique, once used to convey social and cultural messages within African communities. These close-to-the-scalp braids, often enhanced with intricate patterns, provide a long-lasting, low-maintenance protective style. From straight-back designs to modern freestyle patterns, cornrows remain a symbol of strength and heritage..
Locs – A Symbol of Spiritual & Cultural Power
Locs (or dreadlocks) have deep roots in African, Rastafarian, and spiritual traditions. Worn by warriors, leaders, and visionaries, locs represent patience, dedication, and pride in natural hair. Whether cultivated into traditional locs, sisterlocks, or freeform styles, this technique honors both personal and cultural identity.
Sew In – Protective & Versatile Beauty
Sew-in weaves originated from African weaving techniques and became widely embraced as a way to protect natural hair while achieving diverse styles. Whether worn sleek and straight or voluminous and curly, sew-ins allow for endless transformations with minimal stress on natural strands.
Ponytails – Timeless Elegance, Reinvented
Ponytails are a timeless and chic way to wear hair in a sleek, pulled-back style. It is more than just a simple updo—it’s a bold statement of elegance, sophistication, and power. Whether sleek, braided, or curled, ponytails offer versatility and protection, allowing women to embrace their beauty with effortless grace.
Crotchet Styles – The Art of Effortless Beauty
Inspired by traditional African weaving, crochet braiding combines speed, versatility, and protection. This technique allows extensions to be seamlessly looped into cornrows using a crotchet hook, creating styles that mimic natural hair textures—perfect for quick, long-lasting beauty.
Twists – The Perfect Balance of Tradition and Modern Style
Twists, including Senegalese, Marley, and Havana twists, stem from African natural hair traditions. These lightweight, elegant styles promote hair growth, scalp health, and cultural pride, offering a stunning alternative to braids
Men Styles – A Fusion of Tradition & Modern Trends
From classic fades to intricate cornrows and starter locs, men’s hair has long reflected a mix of cultural heritage and personal expression. Popular styles include twisted locs, tapered cuts, and braided designs, each carrying its own legacy of strength and self-identity.
