Hairspiration: Ancient African Natural Hairstyles that can Inspire you

Hello Naturalistas, 

Crawling the walls of the internet for some inspiration and I saw an African style and I decided to check more to see. The most common one we know is Threading but there are a lot of other nice African hairstyles (some I can't put here because the women also don't wear cloths -__-) 

Here are some of the ones that caught my eyes. Be Inspired!

*I tried to see if I could get some background history or where the hairstyles are originated from but history is lost 


Are those twists? Would love to see this mordernized


This is from Egypt. I love this one

For those without edges *doges comb*


Pimp out your threading

I love the top of this one.
Which is your favourite?

    They are really artistic. And it takes a while to complete them.

    The third picture actually originated from Eritrea/Ethiopia and not Egypt.
