My Biro Sketch Tited : Irun Kiko (hair Knotting With Thread) by Riqueleme(m): 12:35pm On Mar 30, 2018
MY BIRO SKETCH TITLED: IRUN KIKO (HAIR KNOTTING WITH THREAD)
Hair in many cultures plays a great role. There is a common rule that people who don't groom their hair show disrespect to the society. Let's return to the question of hairstyles in Yoruba culture. The main peculiarity is that Yoruba hairstyles weren't created just for beautification but as the means of differentiation. They could be religious, on the basis of gender, marital status, age, mood, political orientation etc.

Yoruba hairstyles have different meanings in the old days, some were designed for married women and some, for singles, Traditionally in Nigeria, Yoruba women were known to wear one of these distinct African hairstyles, known as Irun Kiko (translated to “hair knotting with thread”), as a symbolic embrace of femininity and a declaration of cultural pride. Most recently, we've seen this style on dancers in Beyoncé's "Formation" video and on natural hair bloggers, showing ways to style and stretch their natural hair with a string of thread, instead of heat.
Today, images from the Irun Kiko series have gone on to receive international acclaim with presented exhibitions and lectures in London, Birmingham, and San Antonio, Texas.
Pls value your culture and tradition, it is our identity... My identity > AFRICA > NIGERIA > YORUBA....
