It could be a clan or regional thing. My family is from K5 and border areas. But my parents were born in Mogadishu anyway so who knows. She's been in Canada since the mid 80s herself and has done it ever since.

They might not be used to you? I don't wear hijab at home, but sometimes I weirdly cover from some actual Mahram uncles who I hardly see. Don't ask me why. I don't know as well loool.
My family did it, and I'm pretty sure I'm not a FOB
Most somalis in the gulf came during the 90s/early 2000s, and they visit somalia more often than European/NA somalis so culturally they're pretty much like people back home.
Thats the first I have heard of this, no one I know wears hijab at home, only outside.

Its because relatives that are non mahram visit often and revolve the door around and come in without knocking. FOBs are very social

It's called gambo or masar. Somali women back home wear it 24/7 not only for modesty but it also keeps their unmanaged hair from looking wild. The single ones who have good hair don't wear it at home but the rest of Somali women wear it all the time.
Oh yeah, the older women where that typically, I think we call it a fasaleeti.
Reminds me of a bandanna.
Wallahi that young Hooyo is absolutely stunning and could easily be a model. May Allah make it easy for her she looks like she is in a tough situation.

There is no loss or elegance of the Somalis. What you saw during the 40s-60s was full, unashamed, adoption and mimickry of Western elite culture. It happenned in almost all Muslim countries, because the colonisers needed to leave the country in hands they trusted i.e..those that mimicked them.
These leaders shunned their own religion and culture. And they continued to encourage the same through education (scholarships abroad) and government jobs. These people had nothing in common with their common citizens and were imposing an outside elite culture.
I'll never forget in 2011 when Mohamed Morsi came to power, a young protestor said his wife "looked like her mother or aunt" because she was wearing the hijab. From Ben Ali's family in Tunisia to the Princesses of Jordan, they looked nothing like their constituents.
go to sleep bro.
I can't see picture
Beauty doesn’t mean exposing it or being salacious, I don’t know why they’re equating dropping the hijab with elegance
Somalis people even before Islam valued marriage chastity modesty and respected their pure linage by not encroaching or getting near zina
Culture of the people are their leaders our leaders them were the most disgusting and corrupt officials that beckoned to non Muslims
I have no idea how my aabo bagged her the mooryaan probably did some sixir
