@Khuze_elikhulu humourously reacted with, "Who was the hair director?" Check out the post below:
Briefly News spoke with a hairstylist and salon owner, Vicky, who commented on the hairstyles on Zozi.
"That is called a weave installation. It is typically done by a professional who has the right tools; otherwise, that style will not come out right," Vicky said. "In this case, it's important to get the braids underneath correct so the installation does not look like this. Also, the quality of the wig is a major factor."
