See the stunning hairstyles made during the ninth Afro-hairdressers’ competition in Cali,  Colombia
According to reports, the Afro hairstyles have their origins in the time of slavery, when women sat to comb their children’s hair after a day of backbreaking work.

The competition featured hairstyles woven with colourful fabric, beads and threads.
