• Guest: Cindy Olohou
• Will nappy hairstyles captivate Africa?
• The indigo cloth is getting its colours back

Wax in all its forms: it's the subject of a fascinating exhibition currently being held in France, Paris. We follow the development of this fascinating cotton fabric, printed on both sides, inspired by traditional Indonesian batiks. Africa has been so captivated by it that it has made it its own! Cindy Olohou, co-curator of the exhibition, reveals the past and future secrets of these extraordinary patterns. / Done with the torture of hairstyling? Hair fashion or emancipation, the nappy or natural hairstyle trend is making a notable comeback. / An ancestral know-how fallen into disuse and a dynamic revival: how a Beninese designer is giving new life to indigo cloth.
