About Kottam
The Kottam is a traditional South Indian protective hairstyle characterized by multiple rope-like twists, often intricately woven and adorned with fresh flowers, beads, or decorative accessories. Originating from Tamil and Telugu bridal ceremonies, this style is not only visually striking but also serves to protect hair from damage during lengthy celebrations. It is typically chosen by women for weddings, festivals, or cultural events where a blend of elegance and cultural heritage is desired. In Birmingham, with its diverse community, the Kottam appeals to those seeking to honor their South Indian roots or embrace multicultural beauty trends.
