Kuma

Embrace the Fulani-inspired Kuma haircut: layered, face-framing, and full of movement for a bold, cultural look.

About Kuma

The Kuma haircut is a distinctive layered style rooted in the Fulani culture of West Africa, designed to create movement, volume, and shape around the face. It features carefully crafted layers that frame the face, often with a shag-like texture that adds bounce and dimension. This haircut is ideal for medium to long hair textures, particularly Type 3 and Type 4 hair, and emphasizes natural flow and elegance. Commonly chosen by women seeking a culturally rich, dynamic look that enhances their facial features, the Kuma is popular in Birmingham for its versatility and connection to heritage. At Niyo Hair and Beauty, our stylists specialize in precise layering techniques to achieve this style, and with the help of jorra.ai, we ensure personalized recommendations. Whether for everyday wear or special occasions, the Kuma offers a blend of tradition and modern flair.
