Gele:Crown of Elegance

In Nigeria of diverse traditions and ethnic groups, where culture flourishes,

A beautiful headpiece of fabrics for different venues,

The gele, a universal symbol of beauty

It is pride for the Yorubas'.

 

Since the time of old, its origins have been unknown,

Old pictures showed its allure and

narrative unsung, a riddle in the folds

The history of the gele is told through stories.

 

It elegantly sprang from the dirt of Nigeria.

Duku, dhuku, tukwi, or doek's lovely flow can be heard throughout West Africa. Tignon can be heard in the United States, where it finds its way.

 

Whatever the term, the essence is the same.

The appeal of a head tie, cultural benefits,

In the heart of Africa, a timeless custom,

a representation of love in every form.

 

In the sweet language of Yoruba, it is known as gele - head tie.

a beautiful crown without replacement.
