About Kesto
The Kesto is a traditional Ethiopian and Eritrean bridal updo hairstyle known for its elegant and intricate design. It typically involves braiding sections of hair and wrapping them into a high, sculptural bun, often adorned with cultural hair jewelry such as silver or gold accessories.
