What Are Waist Beads

Waist beads are strands of beads worn around the waist or hips, traditionally used in various African cultures for centuries. They are made from materials like glass, crystals, stones, or metals and can be customized with different colors and charms.

People wear waist beads for different reasons, including body adornment, self-expression, cultural heritage, femininity, and spiritual or personal intentions. They also serve as a symbol of self-love, confidence, & weight awareness (as they adjust with body changes).
