Yepishata

Yepishata is a term used in the Amharic language of Ethiopia and Eritrea to refer to a traditional Ethiopian hairstyle. It typically involves tightly braiding the hair into cornrows that are small and close to the scalp. The specific patterns and directions of the braids can vary regionally and according to personal preference. Yepishata is often worn by women and girls, and it can be a time-consuming process to create. The style is valued for its neatness, longevity, and ability to protect the natural hair. It can also be seen as a symbol of cultural pride and identity. Variations of Yepishata, including styles with thicker braids or added extensions, are also common.
