Hair Dressing
The uniquely artistic and diverse traditional hair dressing styles of Tigraian women of Ashenda are mainly different types of braids that indicate their age, marital status and interest in particular style or nature of their hair. Common hair dressing styles observed during Ashenda include Game (ጋመ), Telela (ተለላ), Gilbich (ግልብጭ), Ayni-sigem (ዓይኒ ስገም), Albaso (ኣልባሶ) and Rigtso-ief (ርግፆ ዒፍ). They also wrap colorful threadropes on their head
