Hairstyles Back in Vogue: Cuppy, Tiwa Savage, 6 Others Show off Retro Stylish African Hairdos

Some of the hottest hair trends in Nigeria include long human hair extensions and thin, long braids which seem to have made a heavy comeback.

However, before then, most African women prided themselves in unique hairstyles that mostly featured their natural hair and black threads.

These days, such hairdos which were the rave of the 80s and 90s, have taken a backseat for trendier and - according to some people - classier hairstyles that elevate one's looks.

Well, while these hairstyles are no longer in vogue, there are still some celebrities who have either embraced it as part of their signature look or used such retro hairdos for artistic purposes.

Regardless of how often - or not - that Nigerian celebrities pay homage to the old school hairstyles, they have succeeded at one point or the other to make these retro hairdos look pretty chic.
