It appears that the once-thriving natural hair movement, championed by us at FashionGHANA.com and dominating until 2019, experienced a decline starting in 2021 when we became engrossed in other projects. During this period, it seems African women have leaned towards unsightly weaves and an even more cringe-worthy penchant for wearing other women’s hair on their heads.

However, we are back, and so is the movement. We can’t help but spotlight the trending look that is currently going viral—none other than the spiral braids. This distinctive style was either originated or revived by the South African model Kayra Theodore.
