Kori
Elevate your style with the Kori, a sleek Yoruba ponytail or bun that combines tradition with modern elegance.
About Kori
The Kori is a traditional Yoruba hairstyle from West Africa, known for its sleek, polished appearance and versatility as either a ponytail or bun. It is created by tightly wrapping the base with thread or hair extensions to achieve a smooth, elegant look, often adorned with beads or other cultural accessories. This style is particularly popular among women of Nigerian and Beninese descent for its cultural significance and protective qualities, as it helps minimize hair manipulation and breakage. In Birmingham, the Kori appeals to those seeking a sophisticated, low-maintenance style that celebrates African heritage while offering a chic, modern aesthetic.
