Here are some images of old photographs of communities wearing Flat Coils & Simple Braids hairstyles, from different eras, ethnic traditions, and cultures.
Some photographs, originally in black and white, have been partially or entirely colourized by the graphic designer AGOBO.
The Flat coils/Tortilles couchées or glued hairstyle consists of wrapping strands of hair around themselves along the scalp.
This hairstyle has many names depending on the country and culture. Flat coils/lying or glued twists is not the name used in these cultures.
