Ridley road market and some crazy hair twisting

This Jem of a market is ten minutes from my house, just up the road,a short walk, and I arrive at Pandora’s Box of inspiration.

I love this market, and especially the little hair salons were if you have the right kind’a hair you can get a very funky hair do.

The women in the little hair salons were not to keen on me taking photos…so I have added some images here that I have found on the web of some of these amazing hair styles, I find this tradition of hair braiding fascinating, and some of the hair braids could defiantly be translated into some really intricate knits…only if I had the skill to knit more than the regular stocking stitch etc…

I will stick to admiring the images for the time being, since my hair is way to short, and way to difficult to manipulate into any sort of hair style.
