About Tarqi

Tarqi is a classic braiding style originating from the Levant region, characterized by one or more plaits running neatly down the back of the head. It is often worn by women during cultural celebrations, weddings, and everyday life for its elegant and protective qualities. The style involves precise sectioning and braiding techniques to create a sleek, long-lasting look that minimizes hair breakage and tangling.
