Hi fams! I hope we all had a great, fun-filled and restful weekend.
As we all know that most people find their weekend beautiful and worthwhile by going out to catch some cruise and fun or visiting some new places or probably an adventure or sight seeings but for me I love it when I spend it with my family either it is indoor or outdoor no matter how little it can be. Does that makes me an introvert or family oriented? I can't say anyways.
So on Saturday, I attended a conference for gospel ministers which was tagged THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS and it was really a great gathering to be as we danced, sang, listened and also took note of the key words from the Ministers messages.
On Sunday, after the close of church, my twin sister requested that I make her hair for her and she wants the African Matting Hairstyle that we popularly refer to as "didi adimole" in my localty in Yorubaland since I'm good at making it. I love making this local hairstyle because I see it bring out the natural beauty of women most especially the beauty in the lines of their hair scalp.
You know in the olden days, at the time of our forefathers and mothers, this style was solely their hairstyles which whenever they make it on their heads, they get to turn the heads of their husbands☺️, looking like a new bride being brought to their room and the husband get to trace the lines of the scalp in act of love and probably would ask the wife for whatever she wants then and it will be done (As easy as that 😀). This is how much and how well they appreciated and loved this hairstyles.
There are many different styles that can be done using this matting style which are: Koroba(matting from the center of the head downwards), Kolese (matting all back), Shuku (Matting to meet at the center of the head), Patewo (matting half of the side of the hair to meet the other half like joining two palms together) and many more styles and all these names are the Yoruba pronunciation or names of these styles but this particular one I made for my sister is called Kolese (It doesn't have leg 😃. If I want to interprete it in the normal english as it sounds in the Yoruba pronunciation)
So here you would see that I had mat like half of the hair and proceeding to do the remaining half. The lines on the scalp are as beautiful as the carrier of the hair and beautiful head scalp would always make a stylist to fall in love with what they do.
Right here I was done with the making of the hair and my sister was ready to start slaying the "Kolese" didi (matting) style around and I love that feeling when my efforts comes out nice and is being appreciated 🥰
The love of an African Hairstyle is massive due to its natural way of making it in a creative way and the beauty it brings on whoever has it on as hairstyle. I would love to make more of this for my loved ones as long as I'm available 🥰
I'll be dropping my 🖊️ here on how I spent my weekend and I hope you enjoyed reading through 🤗
Have a wonderful day and week ahead 🌹
