Nigerian Hair Trends in the 60s and 70s

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Nigeria-based J.D. Okhai Ojeikere documented more than 1,000  sculptural hair designs found along everyday streets, at weddings and in offices. The series, entitled Hairstyles, features an extensive assortment of braids, buns, ringlets, curls, and twists presented both as a creative series as well as a documentation of Nigerian trends and culture more than 40 years ago.
