About Haqiga Braids

Haqiga braids are a traditional East African hairstyle, particularly prominent in Somali culture, characterized by intricate, feed-in cornrows that start directly from the scalp. This style often features geometric patterns and is valued for its cultural heritage and protective qualities. It is commonly chosen by women seeking a durable, low-manipulation style that celebrates their roots.
