Traditional, aristocratic Fulani hairstyles are known for their beauty. The Fulani are one of the most populous ethnic groups in the Sahel and West Africa, here in Dalaba (Guinea). Dalaba is the cultural capital of the Fulani people in the Futa Jalon region. It is a theocratic state founded in 1727 by a Fulani jihad that conquered the region. Women in the tribe usually have long hair, which is seen as a symbol of femininity and beauty. Hair that has been braided is likewise highly popular. Splitting the hair into five sections and braiding it is a ritual. The braids are usually weaved in ornate patterns, with the ends dangling from the sides or wrapped. They use jewelry or red beads to embellish the braids. The two ladies are standing in ‘Case à Palabre’ (Speech House), where problems used to be resolved. It is a unique work of Fulani art.
