Katti
Embrace tradition with the Katti hairstyle—a timeless Tamil braid offering beauty and protection.
About Katti
The Katti is a traditional Tamil protective hairstyle characterized by its knotless braiding technique and distinct box-shaped sections, often styled as a side plait. Originating from South Indian and Sri Lankan Tamil cultures, this style is not only visually striking but also serves to protect hair from damage. It is commonly chosen for cultural events, weddings, or daily wear by those seeking a low-maintenance yet elegant look. In Birmingham, with its diverse community, the Katti appeals to individuals of Tamil heritage and others interested in cultural hairstyles.
