👉 A lionise, also known as a lion's mane, is an ornamental hairstyle that originated in Africa and has since been adopted by many cultures around the world. The lion's mane typically consists of several layers of hair, each with a unique pattern or texture, which is often used to create a dramatic effect on the face. The lionise typically involves using a comb or other object to pull back a large amount of hair from the scalp, creating a thick, curly or wavy appearance.
