Christopher Kaneさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Christopher KaneInstagram)「THE ‘BOUJHETTO’ HAIRSTYLIST OF THE WEST by Yelena Grelet - @yelsss Many remember American singer-songwriter Solange’s fabulous 2018 Met Gala hair-do, but not many are aware that the Jamaican hairstylist Jawara Wauchope was behind the creation of the innovative braided halo look. If ghetto-chic was an actual word, then Wauchope’s work accurately depicts this. “There’s always been a disconnect for me because there’s not a lot of things that represent what I’ve seen or experienced in my life, or what a lot of other people who look like me have experienced.’ Growing up in Jamaica, Wauchope was fascinated by the bold and creative hairstyles that he would see on a daily basis- so much so that 20 years later, he continues to celebrate within his own work. Through his avant-garde hairstyles and recent ‘Tallawah’ exhibition at London’s Cob in collaboration with photographer Nadine Ijewere, Wauchope not only embraces but also sparks political and cultural conversations on black culture. As Dyson’s global styling ambassador, the 36-year-old visionary is ensuring that all ethnic hair is placed on the same pedestal by having recently released hair drying extensions to suit all hair textures- something that has never been considered before. Despite becoming a successful hairstylist, Wauchope reflects back to his preteens when he didn’t know that his passion for hair could lead him to a professional career. “I think about when I was young, I didn’t know that this was a possibility,” he said. For that reason, Wauchope hopes to implement an educational programme in Jamaica, England and America for aspiring hairstylists.
