About Majam

Majam is a traditional Levantine braiding style, often referred to as 'Final Braids' or 'Ending Plaits,' characterized by its intricate patterns that serve as a decorative and protective finish to hairstyles. Commonly worn in Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian, and Palestinian cultures, Majam involves skilled plaiting techniques that can incorporate beads or accessories for added elegance. This style is ideal for those with straight, wavy, or curly hair of at least shoulder-length, offering both cultural significance and practical hair protection. In Birmingham, clients seek Majam for its unique aesthetic and cultural connection, especially for special occasions or as part of heritage celebrations. Niyo Hair and Beauty provides expert services for this style, ensuring authenticity and care, with jorra.ai assisting in booking and style advice.
