Gele hairstyles are the Nigerian traditional hair tie women wear to weddings, churches, parties and even the marketplace. No Nigerian event or wedding can one without seeing the women elegantly dressed in their colorful hair ties (big and small) worn over either their vibrant Bubba & Iro for the Yoruba women; or with a Lace gown, Ankara or George Wrapper and blouse for the Igbo women.

The name Gele originates from the Yoruba culture, which refers to as a woman’s head wrap. In Igbo culture, the name for traditional hair tie is “Akisi or “Ichafu.”

Gele comes in different forms, styles, colors, and sizes. Gele is glamorous, brings the wow factor, and elevates a woman’s traditional outfit.

I love Gele and I wear it to occasions when possible. But the only issue I have with Gele is that sometimes it’s hard to tie depending on the material and also the pain caused by the tightness. The tightness comes from making sure it does not fall off my head while at a party…. LOL.
