.Head wrapping is literally a way that African’s for centuries have been able to non-verbally communicate their place in life. The head wrap of a woman walking down the street will tell you if she’s a widow, a grandmother, or if she’s a married young woman. It’s an element in the daily living of an African woman. Head wraps also serve a practical function in protecting the head from the rays of the sun. In West Africa, head wraps are referred to as ‘gele’ in Yoruba or ‘ichafu’ in Ibo.

The African American woman’s head wrap has functioned as a “uniform of rebellion” signifying absolute resistance to loss of self-definition.’
