Every time local rapper Sho Madjozi changes her hairstyle, children run to their parents with a picture of her, saying: “I want this.”
She’s become the biggest influencer for little girls when it comes to braids. In most cases, hair stylists are happy to oblige.
The “John Cena” rapper braided her hair in a fun, playful style – something that can be easily replicated by her little fans.
Taking to Twitter, Madjozi shared a video of herself with her new hairstyle.
But there is one catch. It took her three hours to sew in each cowrie shell, she admitted.
These are not beads. They’re plastic cowrie shells and I can’t decide if it was worth the 3 hours spent sewing each one in individually 🙈🙈🏃🏽♀️ pic.twitter.com/BIAQaKYK2W
