About Geda
The Geda is a traditional East African bridal hairstyle, originating from cultures like Ethiopian, Eritrean, Somali, and Swahili communities. It features intricate cornrows braided and styled into a circular crown-like updo, often enhanced with hair extensions for added volume and adorned with beads or cultural ornaments for a symbolic touch. This style is distinct for its elaborate patterns and is primarily chosen for weddings, formal events, and special occasions, reflecting cultural heritage and elegance.
