Wearing a doek (headscarf) is fast becoming a must-have accessory for budding fashionistas
Doeks are usually worn by African women to show their culture and beliefs. Some cover their heads to show they are married, while others wear a doek when they are in mourning.
But doeks are becoming a normal part of everyday wear for many women.
Not only is it a way to proudly show off your heritage, but it can also be a perfect addition to a fashionable outfit.
Here’s a look at how South African celebrities wear their doeks to work, on the red carpet and while partying with friends
