Locs with shaved sides

Why just have one hairstyle when you can be versatile and combine two? Traditionally, dreadlocks or locs are worn all around the head or one may settle for a simple low cut. However, in 2017, men and women alike opted to shave the sides and/or other areas of their heads and rock locs on the top. Definitely a bold statement.
2018 will surely usher in a plethora of African styles that will be sure to catch the eye.
Read below for what people are saying about African trends in 2017:
This a historic but also educational throwback featuring Chief Festus Sam Okotie-Eboh, one time minister for finance. I’m not sure about his young accessory, but he was certainly known for his flamboyant dress sense.#Tbt #throwbackthursday #Africa #Fashion #Education #History pic.twitter.com/pXFFhqlnoi

“It’s like layering. Indian- or African-inspired or ethnic-inspired…it has to be clothes people want to wear now. Clothes that are used to express who they are. To me, that’s the final goal.” https://t.co/hhc81nq0ww pic.twitter.com/Px7AEWhDDt

Let whoever wants to wear #African inspired clothes wear it, since some of us Africans don’t even appreciate it.

African-inspired clothes tend to be so colorful! (evidently, there are many cultures & nations in Africa, but I think it holds true in most)
