This style is distinguished by its sculptural quality and meticulous craftsmanship, requiring skilled braiding techniques to achieve its structured and regal appearance. It is typically chosen by women of Yoruba descent celebrating weddings, cultural festivals, or important ceremonies, reflecting pride in heritage and a desire for a sophisticated, eye-catching look.
