EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate process of dressing a Fanti lady's hair in Sekondi, Gold Coast (now Takoradi, Ghana) during the 1910s. The Fante people, an ethnic group residing along the coast of present-day Ghana, are renowned for their distinctive hairstyles that reflect their rich cultural heritage. In this image, a skilled hairdresser meticulously shapes the woman's hair using a large, curved comb and her nimble fingers. The hairstyle features spiky, raised sections, which were a popular choice among Fanti women during this era. The Afro-shaped crown adds volume and texture, while the sides are neatly combed back, creating a striking contrast. The Fanti people have a deep connection to their hair, which is often adorned with beads, braids, and other decorative elements. Hairstyles were not only a sign of beauty but also served as a means of identifying one's tribe or social status. Dressing a lady's hair was considered an art form and was often a communal activity, with women gathering to help each other prepare for special occasions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and cultural traditions of the Fante people and the significance of hair in their daily lives. The intricate hairstyles, passed down through generations, continue to be a source of pride and inspiration for many Ghanaians today.
