'For many indigenous communities, hair is a physical expression of thought-an extension of the self, much like the way rivers flow or plants grow from the earth. It reflects a deep spiritual connection to nature, rooted in reverence, humility, and reciprocity. Similar beliefs exist among Indigenous peoples worldwide, like Native Americans. What makes Latin Americaunique is how these Indigenous rituals and traditions have spread beyond their original communities. Ancient customs blend with waves of immigration, shaping a deeply hybrididentity.'
