Vintage Hairstyles From Vogue Black


Black Hair lends itself to multiple designs and styles and texture modification

The black community probably has the widest variety of hair styles...
Doing hair or getting hair done is more than a simple daily routine. Hair ritual helps people connect to their ancestors.
Complex coiffures, hair ornaments: Here are some images from the early 20th century. Check out Vogue Black's photo gallery of vintage hairstyles here


From Nigeria to Senegal these coiffures (braids, curls, cornrows) are perfected by various decorations: cowries, beads, mother-of-pearl buttons,medals, pieces of silver, amber balls, metal rings, and pins of wood, bone or ivory.
