ONÍDÌRÍ

ONÍDÌRÍ is a Yoruba traditional name for hairstylist. Yoruba is a tribe in Nigeria, West Africa. Onídìrí are most women and their service involves adorning women's hair in a traditional way by braiding and use of sorts of attachments like stones, rubber , beads or cowrie. ONÍDÌRÍ's shop is more like the centre of convergence for women of different calibre and motives and people said ONÍDÌRÍ in the olden day was the parliament where the Rise and Fall of Men are discussed by women. I created this piece to bring back the memories alot of Africa women shared among themselves when they were young .
