Turbans and the African head wrap finally acceptable?

The head wrap is no unfamiliar wear in Africa and the African Diasporas. It is a symbol of our culture, especially in West and Central Africa.

This fashion duo first visited Nigeria and then went to Togo and to Ghana. Interested to know what they went to do?
