Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Salome Bey Matthews, singer-actress wears her hair braided in circle patterns with a dramatic top knot. The style, created for her at Azan's Beauty World, goes back to early Babylonian time (2000 to 1000 B.C.) when it was mostly worn by black women. Traditional hairdo enhances African dress.
