The vintage trend is making every fashion lover go back to its board, to recreate an old look. We have seen dresses, skirts, shoes, hairstyles etc. from the 60s, 70s, and 80s come back to our screens.



The amazing thing about this styles is that you do not need to rob a bank to look good, as compared to fixing Human hair weaves [Brazilian weaves, Peruvian weaves etc] These styles which were once rocked by our parents, grandparents or even our ancestors showcases the African tradition, creativity and beauty.

• Bantu Knots: These are small coiled buns neatly shaped in different ways to show the scalp.

• Patewo: This is a hairstyle woven in the shape of two hands clasped together; more like placing the palms together to say the Lord’s Prayer. This hairstyle is sometimes called Mo Hawk.

• Thread: This is a protective hairstyle. By our folks it is described as a style that enhances hair growth. In recent times different thread texture and colors are been explored.

• Shuku: Like the All-Back which is weaved towards the rear of the head, Suku is oftentimes plaited with the wefts pointing to the sky.
