The shuku hairstyle—which involves braiding to form a hump on top of the head—has a significant place in Yoruba hairstyling.
There are many variations of this popular style.
This simple style is sometimes complemented with side plaiting. This hairstyle was traditionally reserved for the wives of royalty, but is now common among young ladies, school girls and married women.
The simplicity of it makes it less time-consuming and easier to execute than other more intricate designs.
