ON PINS AND NEEDLES 
This is a picture of a Hopi woman fixing the hair of a young girl from the tribe who is about to get married
Great guess! Do you know the name of the hairstyle?
I think it calls squash blossom and it was the inspiration for Bjork hair style that appears on the cover of Homogenic
We’ll be posting more images and photos on Thursday. I love that you observed the similarity between this hairstyle and Bjork’s fabulous hair! Isn’t she fantastic?
It also reminds me of Princess Leia’s hairdo
