Transforming my traditional 'Shuku' into an elegant updo!

I never thought the day would come when I would actually have a desire to have shuku plaited on my hair but not only did that day come but I went a step further and had it done!

I'd said before that I want to spend the next couple of weeks really caring for my hair but don't want to leave it out all the time and since for some strange reason I've been wanting to have my hair done up in a shuku style using the 'Didi' method, I decided to take advantage of one of my girls who is a Didi guru - doing it the typical traditional Yoruba way.

Anyway, because I feel my forehead is kinda high, I didn't want the shuku too far back on my head and had her do it right on top of my head - my personal joke was that I looked like an Osun Princess lol.
