Gele inspiration (The Nigerian woman headgear)

Take a look at the African woman above, how beautiful she is with the wonderful skin colour God has given her, the makeup, neck accessories or beads and the outstanding head scarf. That’s how she looks when going for an important occasion like weddings, church service, parties(owambes)and lots more, or probably it’s her
traditional wedding. 

The GELE (head tie) as called by Nigerians is used as a traditional head covering in various occasions. The difference between the Gele and the normal head scarf is its thickness, large and elaborate nature. This thickness makes it easier to form the shapes needed especially the rounded shapes and different steps on the Gele.

The Gele is worn with various traditional attires ranging from Iro ati Buba, traditional blouse, gowns whatever suits your style. Here are various Gele, makeup and beads inspiration for you especially if your big day is coming up soon.
