This is all over somali towns as well, one of my mates in arabsiyo ran a cosmetic shop, I sat inside with him for a entire day all I see is young xalimos come in and out some are just buying hair moisturisers but a good amount of them were asking for 'farobadeed' or bleach, I was like inanyahay jidhkaaga ha dilin, I could tell a bleached xalimo from a mile away in the sun their vascularity becomes apparent makes hairs on my neck stand mayne.
not everywhere but most lightskinned women are in somaliland or waqooyi just ask @Zayd

Light skinned can't only be exclusive to Somaliland or Waqooyi. Light skinned Somalis exists throughout all Somali families despite where they are from.

Funny how nearly all the xalimos back home are light skinned
Yet nearly all the Farahs are dark

I saw thisit's so sad.
What I want to know is roughly when these practises began. In qaraami videos I don't see this phenomona. Heck even in my grandparents generation, skin tone wasn't a hot topic. So tolow why did Somalis become Arab/Eurocentric in their beauty standards?
