About Tassal

The Tassal is a distinctive hairstyle rooted in Fulani culture, characterized by its combination of defined natural curls and strategically shaved or trimmed sections. This style often features geometric patterns on the sides and back, creating a striking contrast with the textured top. It emphasizes curl definition and celebrates natural hair texture, making it a popular choice for those seeking a look that honors West African heritage while maintaining modern appeal.
