orisabunmi 💗
surprise and happy new year! 🥂 im back with the super cute sister hair of my kipetaka braids hairstyle that was inspired by this hairstyle done by slayedinbraids on instagram! orisabumni (“the orisa gifted me”) is a traditional yoruba hairstyle that’s consists of two other traditional hairstyles, the shuku and the koroba. im not extremely knowledgeable and familiar with traditional west african hairstyles so, please let me know if im wrong!
v1 is simplest version of the hairstyle with only the braided bun or basket at the top. v2 has the braided bun and spiral braids in the front. v3 is like version 2 but with side braids with beads that come in a default multi-color brown bead pattern (not pictured but it’s the same as my paraíso hairstyle’s beads). the bead pattern has 29 color swatches which includes 2 pan african swatches and various lgbtq flag inspired patterns! i hope y’all like it! <3 download and details for the hairs are below!
i also would like to continue to spotlight this list i put together of fundraisers and resources that will help people in the democratic republic of congo and sudan. i am also including a fundraiser that will help african migrants in lebanon get back to their home countries. please share and donate if you can! anything truly helps! 🫶🏾
