Imagine going for a wedding these days without seeing someone on 'GELE'…..that’s like saying the sun won’t rise right….IMPOSSIBLE.
Head-tie is popularly known as 'GELE' in Yoruba and 'ICHAFU' in Igbo.For brides, asides the glam makeover, the head tie is one thing that complements your outfit on your traditional/engagement wedding day. Since the bride has to be the center of attention on her wedding day, getting the right head tie fabric/texture (not too hard or soft) and pattern (embroidery) is very important in delivering ‘an all heads turn around attention seeking’ gele. The design of the head-tie and the finishing in the tying makes you stand out.I remember when Gele used be a thing for the Mamas and Grandmas, that’s like way old school now. These days babes are rocking it way better than the mamas….aso-ebi without gele is like plain rice without stew…..making it the fashion accessory of our time.
