Jaja's African Hair Braiding

Hattiloo welcomes you into Jaja’s bustling hair braiding shop in Harlem, where every day, a lively and eclectic group of West African immigrant hair braiders craft masterpieces on the heads of neighborhood women. During one sweltering summer day, love will blossom, dreams will flourish, and long-held secrets will come to light. Beneath the surface, uncertainty simmers—about status, stability, and belonging. When it finally boils over, this tight-knit community is forced to confront what it means to be an outsider on the edge of the place they call home.

Now sit still, because this moment of pain, patience, and care isn’t just about hair. It’s about the hands that hold us together when everything else threatens to come undone.
