About Riddan
Riddan is a distinctive braided hairstyle originating from the Levant region, including Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine. It features a single, prominent braid, often intricately woven and decorated with colored threads or small fabric pieces, creating a blend of protection and adornment. The style typically begins at the crown and extends down the back, making it suitable for long to mid-length hair of various textures.
