Shuku
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shuku (also spelled Suku and Sùkú) is a type of Yoruba braided hairstyle.[1][2] It is a series of braids taken to the top of the head and mounted upwards to form a hump on top of the head.[3][4] Shuku is primarily worn by women. Shuku can also be merged with other braiding styles.[5][6]
Shuku is popular among all age groups from school girls to older women.[7] Like other traditional Yoruba hairstyles and braids, it is used in traditional ceremonies and settings, as well as dances and events to showcase culture.[8][9]
