Performing a siva samoa can mostly be a rewarding experience. That feeling of trepidation before you perform and the feeling of euphoria when its all over. But during your performance, you are in your zone and not worried about how you feel. Its only the focus you have to ensure you make your family, church, village & culture proud.

I used to complain as a child of my hair but grew up to love and appreciate my locks as my connection to my heritage.

We take you back in time through the Pacific Islands to see the various cultural and traditional hair practices among women. For more on Pacific hair, watch our documentary Adorn For hair stories click here

Like the beauty of a chandelier in any room. A Tamaitai in traditional garb stands out and makes anyone in the room take notice. Like the taupou and her siva, a chandelier gives off an air of affluence and grace. Like a chandelier a taupou's dress or outfit varies in styles and materials.

The Taualuga displayed here by Lina is a traditional Samoan dance, considered the apex of Samoan performance art forms and the centerpiece of the Culture of Samoa. Thank you for letting us dress you on your special day ❤ Lina Tayz
