Leave it to that ATL style maven Ciara Harris to bring it back to the Motherland with the braids.]
Ciara was seening out on the town in Los Angeles and then later via U-stream rocking the cornrow look.
For you history buffs, you may wonder, so who was the person who brought cornrows to the forefront of American celebrity culture?
Wikipedia says: A common way of styling hair among populations across the African continent, cornrows survived for centuries in the United States and other parts of the New World as a style of hair preparation among enslaved Africans and their progeny. In 1963, when most African American women were loath to be seen in public with unstraightened hair, actress Cicely Tyson drew immediate notice when she sported cornrows on the popular network television series East Side/West Side.
That's right, CiCi, the original CiCi did it first!
