Info

In weddings, baptisms or Muslim special days (Tabaski, Korité), men wear clothes in ciub or ganila. Women also dress in cioub, with a headscarf. In all other situations, like New Years’ Eve or a Christian holiday (the Christian community is present in Sédhiou), clothes are more informal and not necessarily traditional. Men dress with Western trousers and t-shirts. Women dress in the same way, or by wearing the trousers with short skirts. In addition, the long Tshirt with trousers, long and often large, is always fashionable. Just a distinction with regard to women: single women can wear trousers, skirts or dresses. Married women must respect the will of the husband. In addition, married women have to wear foulards in public. 84

Men wear their hair very short and they often shave, also because of the heat and to maintain a good hygiene. Otherwise, they keep long hair with dreadlocks, which may be thick or thin. This headgear, however, is not too frequent in Sédhiou, while it is quite widespread in the north of Senegal. There, indeed, the heat is less intense and the humidity is lower, allowing a wider developpement of this style. Sometimes, women keep their hair short like men. More often, when the hair is just a little bit longer, they make tresses in different styles, often adding fake hair (extensions). It may be the American style (they’re quite big) or mèches (more subtle) . The grefages hairstyle uses Indian hair and works on them in order to obtain a style that reminds the hair of white people. Life style is similar to the mèches one, but they are very subtle and are made of real 85
