Engaged Girl - Cele Tribe - Izingolweni

When the wedding day is imminent, the Cele girl announces this all-important fact by the manner of her hairstyle. Half the hair is dressed as for marriage, bright red oxide rubbed in with fat and delicately stranded. The remaining half is left in the style of girlhood, black lengthened and build up.
