Women in Nigeria wear gele hairstyles to weddings, churches, gatherings, and even the markets. No Nigerian event or wedding is complete without the women wearing their colorful hair ties (large and little) over their colourful Bubba and Iro for Yoruba women, or a Lace gown, Ankara, or George Wrapper and shirt for Igbo women.Gele is a Yoruba word that refers to a woman’s head band. The traditional hair tie is known as “Akisi” or “Ichafu” in Igbo culture.
Gele is available in a variety of styles, colors, and sizes. Gele is glamorous, adds a wow factor to an ensemble, and enriches a woman’s traditional look.
