Describing Black Hair in Fantasy (Locs, Braided Styles, etc)

Image: Describing Black Hair in Fantasy, Braided Styles

How do you describe afro hairstyles in a world where the words don’t exist? 

My advice for describing afro hairstyles effectively in fantasy is to:

Describe the style

Use words from the term in the description

Have someone read it; do they know what you’re describing?

Describe the style.

What does this hairstyle look like, exactly? What is a braid? What are locs? How do you braid, or how do you form this particular type of braid? 

Look up existing descriptions of the term, and use language from the definition. Combine, reword and trim as necessary. There’s no need to be wordy. A well-constructed sentence or two should serve its purpose.

Great sources are everything from hair glossaries (especially those found on Black hair websites) natural hair vlogs, and even the thesaurus.

Here are some word associations to play with:

General Textures & Looks

Tight

Loose

Thick

Thin

Dense

Light

Heavy

Springy

Silky

Sheen

Porous 

Afro Texture and Curls

Afro / Fro

Cloudy

Coils

Corkscrews

Crimped

Curly

Natural 

Poufy

Ringlets

Spirals

Texturized

Wavy 

Braids

Crossed

Folded

Interlaced

Layered

Looped

Plaits/Plaited

Rolled

Woven

These words can help be more specific with the look of their hair/hairstyle. Tight, tiny braids. Cloudy puffs of hair in twin pigtails.

Use words from the term itself in the description.  

Readers should get an “aha” moment when you do this. Twisted hair probably mean twists. Bantu knots resemble knots. 

Cornrows: 

Cornrows get their name from rows of corn with connections to African chattel slavery. Say you have a character with this style, but those historical connotations don’t exist in this world , or corn isn’t something your character would know about. There are still ways to make the connection.

Example: “She wore her hair in neat rows of braids along her scalp.” 

The key word here is rows.

Assuming you can use a part of a word that does exist in your timeline, use it for the strongest connection to its real world counterpart. See the next example:

Locs (dreadlocks)

Another Black hairstyle with history to its name, it may not make sense to use the term in your setting (and also, due to that history, “locs” is preferred term) However, you likely could still slip the word “lock or locked” into your description to clarify for readers what you’re getting at.

Example: "His skin was the same medium brown as her own and that of her people, but his hair was thick and coarse and pulled into the rough locks that looked like braids but weren't, like the people to the south whose skin was darker."

-By Shira Glassman, A Harvest of Ripe Figs, Mangoverse Book 3

What’s particularly great about this description is: 

The use of locks or locked hair to make the connection to locs.

Connecting the hairstyle to a certain people. It isn’t just a style anyone can wear, but it has regional roots and is worn by a particular group.

Adding other indications of race such as brown skin, and the nod to him coming from a place where the people have dark skin.

Have someone read it

Have more than one person read your description. It would be great if at least one of those people is Black (and/or familiar with the style). Does the reader know what you’re trying to describe? Are you being concise, or over explaining it to the point of confusion? If your readers can name the style or picture it relatively quickly, then you’ve got a winner.

How Can Men Wear Sherwani in The Most Innovative Manner?

Men's fashion has advanced tremendously, providing a contemporary style approach to wedding attire. The fashion constraints that men used to face by settling for the classic suit piece have recently been alleviated. The modern designer sherwani has taken over the identity of the gentleman's look for the Indian wedding season, giving the polished men's suit a low acceleration and a steep turn.

Sherwanis worn with dhoti or veshti or south Indian white lungi have proven to be a stylish yet classy piece of the robe that gives you a smart and majestic focus light as you stand out from the crowd of men wearing suit sets. To wear a sherwani correctly, you must select a style that matches your personality and has the correct body measurements.

-Photo created by freepic.diller on freepik

We'll show you some unique ways to wear your wedding sherwani on your wedding day.

So, men, fasten your coat buttons and enjoy the ride!!!

THE CLASH OF ROYALTY WITH MODERNITY

A simple velvet sherwani in a brilliant English cut with an interesting back pattern and box pleats can be paired with a cotton silk kurta in cream or burgundy and brocade straight cut or churidar bottom teamed with a laced black brogue shoe, a smart watch, and a dull gold safa. There you have it, a fusion style of Indo western sherwani to wear for the occasion.

THE ACTIVE ETHNIC REVIVAL

Consider the style where casuals meet ethnics, resulting in an innovative sporty style fusion. Choose a delicate and simple embroidered velvet or brocade sherwani and pair it with black denim or cream-colored cotton chinos with an ankle fold. Accessorize the look with smart handcrafted slip-on footwear, a wrist watch, and possibly a nicely tied neck scarf or a cotton turban casually tied. 

THE MINIMALIST OUTLOOK

Maintain a simple and stylish look by wearing a plain tussar silk or matka silk muted shade sherwani with an off-white chikankari kurta and beige churidar bottom, along with handcrafted mojdi, jooti, or kolhapuri chappal and accessorising with a striking brocade navy blue turban and wrist watch. With this sophisticated look, you can flaunt your sensational sense of style.

THE DRAMATIC APPROACH

The regality of the attire has been given the showman swag by pairing a velvet or silk sherwani adorned with delicate embellishment or applique work and paired with a flared kurta, and further accessorising it with mojdi, jooti, or even brogue shoes, two or three jewel pieces such as finger ring or ear stud, and a smartly tied plain turban.

THE BOLD FOOT FORWARD

Display your sharp personality while your outfit plays your style tune. Go for bold sherwani details such as prints, innovative fabric pleating, or even rich brocade fabric. Jewels should be kept to a minimum because your sherwani should exude bling radiance. While wearing this look, let your quirk speak for itself.

THE PULL OF TRADITIONALITY

Carry your traditional values in your style by wearing a plain silk or brocade sherwani over cotton vest with a straight cut kurta and a contrast smart dhoti bottom, teamed with brogue shoes, a contrast bright pocket square, a vibrant turban, and a classy wristwatch.

THE FIERCE WALK OF STYLE

Show off your strong personality while incorporating a statement that captures the essence of Indian antiquity with a modern twist. Wear a plain minimally detailed sherwani with a cowl patterned kurta for men, churidar bottom, and accessories with a turban and classy lace-up shoes.
