RHOAbuja: 3 times Arafa proved she's the ultimate 80s chick with her retro hairstyles

If there's one thing we can count on from The Real Housewives of Abuja, it's that Arafa will leave us talking about her hairstyles.

From her blonde mohawks to the mullet, Arafa has stayed repping the 80s, recreating these classic hairstyles for a new generation.

Here are all the times Arafa stole the show on RHOAbuja with her iconic hairstyles.

1. Arafa's hairstyle: The mullet

One of the most popular hairstyles that Arafa has brought back is the mullet. This hairstyle was originally popularised by rockstars in the 1980s and has made a comeback in recent years. The mullet is a versatile hairstyle that can be worn in different ways, and Arafa has shown this by incorporating it into different looks. She has paired it with bright colours, big earrings, and bold makeup, creating a modern and edgy look.

2. Arafa's hairstyle: Feathered hair

Another iconic hairstyle that Arafa has revived is the feathered hair. This style was popularised by celebrities such as Farrah Fawcett and was characterised by soft, feather-like layers that framed the face. Arafa has given this classic look a modern twist by incorporating it into different lengths and textures. She has also paired it with accessories such as headbands and barrettes, adding a playful and youthful touch.

3. Arafa's hairstyle: The curly do

Arafa has also brought back the voluminous, curly hairdo that was popular in the 80s. This hairstyle was characterised by big, bouncy curls that added volume and texture to the hair and can be observed on the famous rock band Twisted Sister’s lead singer, Daniel “Dee” Snider.

Is the 80s having a comeback? If yes, then we have to admit that RHOAbuja’s Arafa is at the forefront of this trend. If you are looking to rock a retro-inspired look, Arafa is definitely worth checking out.
