The ’90s is often a nostalgic time of individuality and self expression, not just for fashion but also for the beauty world. Yet history tends to repeat itself – and the saying definitely holds true in the beauty and fashion world. The past few years have seen a renaissance in 90s trends, from chokers, baggy shirt to bodysuits, and now to makeup, beauty and expectedly hair.
The hair of a woman often said to be her crown that portrays her glory and the way it is styled tells a lot about the woman. Apart from her skin colour, the African woman’s hairstyle was what was used to differentiate her from the multitude of women around the world.
The creativeness of the the African woman was expressed most times in her hairstyles. So many hairstyles which include “Kolese”, “clap your hands”, “patewo”, “Fulani hairstyles”, “suku” and threaded hair were the trend in the 90’s.
However, this post would concentrate on the threaded hairstyle that captured the hearts of our mothers back in the day.
The hair style trended during the 90’s among grown women and girls. In the 90’s every woman got familiar with the technique of making this hairstyle and made sure to teach their daughters.
Although the trend seems to have disappeared because of evolving styles, a few beauty bloggers and celebrities still rock the artistic hairstyle.
