About Kente Edge Crop
The Kente Edge Crop is a distinctive short haircut that draws inspiration from the intricate patterns of West African Kente cloth, particularly from the Akan culture. It features a gradient fade on the sides and back, transitioning to a slightly longer top, with sharp, geometric lines and etched designs that mimic traditional textile motifs.
