They got popular again in the mid 2010s. But shyt been around since the early 90sThe tapered fro’s got popular in the mid 2010s so of course those afro’s would naturally progress to braids and dreads with tapers.
As for who started it. I guess OBJ? He made the nappy fro popular again but I don’t recall him ever having braids.

Right but where was the inflection point.They got popular again in the mid 2010s. But shyt been around since the early 90s
Prolly LA or the Bay tbh looking back. I know in NY they were doing the taper with locs but at the time braids seemed like more of a west coast thing. So prolly around 91 or soRight but where was the inflection point.
Was it a city because I don’t think it was a rapper or celebrity they riding the wave
