Adesua's character makes a strong case for beaded fulani braids

Here's why we believe Adesua's hairstyle in Gangs of Lagos should inspire your next visit to the hair salon.

Over the weekend, Jade Osiberu’s movie, Gangs of Lagos, was all the rave. Many people hailed the movie, the stunts and the storyline.

Tobi Bakre, Chike, Yhemo Lee and Adesua Etomi-Wellington were the lead actors and while many people praised the cinematic genius and acting of the movie, we have to say that Adesua’s hairstyles got our attention.

She played the role of Gift, a young tough gangster and we loved her Fulani braids and how she changed her hairstyles. We think you should try it for the following reasons;

Adesua is in her 30s, but she was playing a woman in her 20s. These big Fulani braids made her look way younger than her actual age. Braids always make women look younger, youthful, clean and beautiful.

Fulani braids are so easy to make and less time-consuming

Her hairstyle had to be changed many times while on set, that’s why Fulani braids are the best. Fulani braids are one of the easiest hairstyles to do because they will not waste your time.
