African threading is done all over African to preserve hair. Yemi Alade wore this hairstyle to meet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for The Earthshot Prize event this year.

Yemi loves to make the typical Fulani women’s braids with hair rolled up in a ball in the middle and braids by the side.

These knots are a personal favourite of Yemi. She makes Bantu knots in different styles.
