Her hair was braided with a coloured extension popularly called 'loose braids'.
What was interesting, peculiar and certainly unorthodox was that the cleaning agent used on the hair was detergent as opposed to a shampoo usually used to wash hair.

Lady goes viral for braiding eyebrows
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that whether for fun or with the hopes of starting a new trend, a lady identified as Bucky Bucky, has undoubtedly left many people cracking up with laughter online.
While braiding the hair on one's head (and sometimes beards) has been the norm, it appears that Bucky Bucky wants to create her own trend.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, she is seen with a braided eyebrow which she trims off the excess hair extension before proceeding to highlight the brow.
