About Side Parted Plaits
Side Parted Plaits are a distinctive hairstyle rooted in Fulani culture, characterized by a sharp side part and multiple straight-back plaits that offer both style and protection. This look is often enhanced with decorative beads or cowrie shells, adding a touch of cultural heritage.
