The Amasunzu hairstyle represented different roles and stages in life of women and men. When warriors wore the style, it symbolized strength and bravery. Worn by women, it usually marked marital status and virginity. Young woman wore it before they were married. After marriage, some women let their hair grow freely. This photo is apparently from 1920-1930 (excerpt drom vintage everyday, not sure how reliable this source is)
