Terrific.
I had forgotten about those! Nice to see natural hairstyles, not nasty weaves and Beyonce style extensions.
ha leave beyonce extensions alone o, abi na jealousy?
wow u make me remember naija high school days...lol..was hell for me..cos it was compulsory to weave ur hair and after the 2nd day my hair would always start to losen cos of the nature of my hair..lol.. nice paintings by the way
Beautiful...brings back memories of the monthly visit to the barber's shop- the hair styles were quite different though- ever head of Boy Alinco?
I love this and one of the words it brings to my mind is "tutu"
Beautiful paintings. Yet another example of worldclass Naija artistic talent! I don't s'pose Yomi would be interested in another commission....??
