About Kothukku Maathi
Kothukku Maathi is a traditional protective hairstyle originating from Tamil culture, characterized by small, coiled braids that lie flat against the scalp.

Often adorned with beads or small accessories, Kothukku Maathi is both a cultural statement and a practical choice for those seeking to protect their hair from environmental damage and daily wear. It is commonly chosen by women with medium to long hair textures, particularly Type 3 and Type 4, for its durability and low-maintenance upkeep once installed.
