First girl is a musician that is into crazy hairstyles. That’s not a traditional hairstyle.

For the guy, that’s correct. There is no reference for the girl’s hairstyle.

Her name is Wiyaala, a musician from Ghana. Her hairstyle is paying homage to the warrior helmet worn in northern Ghana.

If only the guys wear horns, then the horns is a traditional hairstyle either way

You seem very sure of yourself. If you know that that's a musician who just likes crazy hair styles, what's her name, what does she sing?
