Today, the creative spotlight goes to the incredibly talented photographer, J.D Okhai Ojeikere.<\/p>\n<p>Born in the Southwestern part of Nigeria, Ojeikere caught the \u2018art bug\u2019 in 1950 when he bought his first camera, a modest Brownie D and got lessons from a neighbour who taught him the rudiments of photography. In 1967 he joined the Nigerian Arts Council and that began his love affair with the rich culture of Nigeria. What especially caught his attention, was the diverse hairstyles that adorned the heads of all the women.<\/p>\n<p>This inspired his \u2018Hairstyle Series\u2019, which consists of over a thousand pictures and is the largest of his archive to date. Its nice for us to take a minute and appreciate the innovative braids and weaving techniques that our mothers, their mothers and our great grand mothers rocked s0 beautifully once upon a time. We love the encapsulation of Nigeria\u2019s timeless beauty and cultural heritage<\/p>\n<p>Coutesy<br \/>Thefancyhub<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=ZnZmZmZnLmJtcA==';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/63356a99image.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWQwOS5ibXA=';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/8b876785image.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWQ5OS5ibXA=';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/2f902c6eimage.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWRhZ255bi5ibXA=';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/0c35d5feimage.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWRkLmJtcA==';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/447a8912image.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWRlcmYuYm1w';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/c4cedbd6image.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWRlcmZlZWUuYm1w';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/c3bca5a4image.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWRmcXEuYm1w';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/b4048641image.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWRnd3F0cXEuYm1w';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/619d479fimage.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWRpNy5ibXA=';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/21d0db5eimage.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWRpOS5ibXA=';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/54e87dddimage.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWRwLmJtcA==';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/19531e33image.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Click for Full Image Size\" onclick=\"window.location='\/image_preview2.asp?img=dW50aXRsZWRydHQuYm1w';\" class=\"img1 c6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/39c51e77image.aspx_.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2018All these hairstyles are ephemeral.
