I don't want to jump around the fence, BUT I spoke to a friend at work whom is from Nigeria and he stated that braids were not worn by men in Nigeria/Africa ... as far as he is concerned - He is 30. He said something interesting, his mom used to braid his hair on the weekends because she was bored but on Monday his head was neatly fro'ed out or combed back (it wasn't long, just braidable). Now this is just from one guy. He said when he came here he thought it was weird to see people going to school and work with braids.
Like I said I love braids and think both men and women can wear them professionally to work!
