Amasunzu
Traditional Tutsi hairstyle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amasunzu is an elaborate hairstyle traditionally worn by Rwandan men[1] and unmarried women,[2] with the hair styled into crests,[1] frequently described as crescent-shaped.[3] The hairstyle indicated social status, and men who did not wear Amasunzu were looked on with suspicion until the 20th century.[1] The style was also worn by unmarried women after the age of 18–20 years, indicating that they are of marriageable age.[3][2]
