Blueberry swirls anyone? 🌀🫐💙
When my client came to me with her hair colored and the expression hair to match, I just knew it was about to be a good one.
* this is called “Koroba” a style created in Nigeria in the 60s. @_rahilou and I recreated this style with a twist back in September. Glad to see people loving and inspired by this style. 😏🥰*
Inspired by Trevor Stuurman's beautiful work entitled "Tongoro Beauty", @leilamahalia said she wanted to look like art.
Cowrie shells were more than just currency in ancient cultures. These tiny treasures also symbolized wealth, fertility, and protection. 🐚✨
Thank you @trevor_stuurman for the beauty and inspiration in your art. 💫
Switching things up here 🥵🔥
Cicely Tyson braids in a ponytail inspired by the “Shuku” braids. Shuku is a traditional Yoruba hairstyle from Western Nigeria, which involves braiding a hump on top of the head to look like a basket; by making a braided high ponytail. It was a hair style originally reserved for wives of royalty, but now it is commonly worn by women of all ages and status.
“Roots” is an ongoing hair story @slayedinbraids & I have been collaborating on over the past couple years. Most times, we were unsure what exactly we were going to create until we sat down in the chair. The root of this story feels ever-changing but one of its reasons for existing is to show the diversity of styles you can achieve with braids, a centerpiece of our culture.
Thank you to our ongoing collaborators that help bring these ideas to life. None of this would be possible without everyone involved.
