Hello Fashionistas!
As it turns out the heavy downpour in Lagos this past weekend literally rained on my parade and left my hair a total mess when it was all done. Got up Monday morning to get ready for a meeting and met face-to-face with a bad-hair-day/manic-Monday episode. I couldn’t make it to the salon and my go-to wig was wet as I washed it over the weekend and the sun had refused to shine. I mean, what’s a sistah supposed to do?
Does the above sound familiar?
Many of us have found ourselves in such a boat. It might not be the same specific situation but the point is, we’ve all had days termed “bad hair days” and found ourselves at a loss on what to do. So just how do you solve a problem like this in little time without losing your mind?
I’ve got a simple answer for you… Ankara headwraps!
First, let me say this, the Ankara fabric is such a wonderful fabric for its sheer versatility. And not just that, the pop of colour(s) it adds to any outfit; the pulsating designs; the animated patterns; little wonder why we African women absolutely love it.
Since the textile makes so much sense when sewn as a dress, blouse, trousers or skirt, it definitely goes without saying that it would make as much sense as a headwrap. So consider your bad hair days covered if you have a piece of Ankara fabric laying around.
Let’s check out some super fun and creative ways to tie an Ankara headwrap…
