Style tip:

Opt for clothing in muted tones—beige, off-white, or soft gray—to perfectly showcase these curls and allow their delicate blue/yellow duality to shine through. This approach ensures a sophisticated visual effect where the curls become the focal point.

These curls are approximately 9 cm long: to showcase them, opt for an updo (loose bun, low ponytail) or a semi-updo (half-updo) to open up your face and reveal their beauty in all its finesse.

Pair them with organic materials like raw linen, washed cotton or tencel: these authentic textures will echo traditional Kayapó craftsmanship while highlighting the vibrant elegance of the beads.
