What happened back home to make everyone dislike long hair?

[babooshke]

diraac gang took over our minds.

Wahabissm, Arabization.

Wallahi Idk, shit looks cool with the right shampoo and conditioner but nope people rather see someone shaved like bro I am gonna get bald sooner or later so let my hair prime last at least.
Don't get me twisted tho if its looks all musty and unhealthy am with them but if looks curly and healthy then its ok

 

[astronaut]

It's sadly seen as effeminate nowadays

Lack of water and shampoo.

Long hair is viewed as feminine by most men all over the world, thus they keep their hair short.

arab imperialism has brainwashed somalia

 

[NinkiYar]

Al-Bukhaari (5903) and Muslim (2338) narrated from Anas that the hair of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) came down to his shoulders.


Abu Dawood (4191) narrated that Umm Haani’ (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) came to Makkah with four braids.

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.


Seems like westernization to me

 

[Khanderson]

It’s self hate.

look at Somali women bleaching themselves to oblivion.

Consuming non African entertainments: Turkish or other non African
contents.


It’s like asking the elephant in the room.

Somalis are mostly Sunni Muslim.

Growing a long hair is seen as sunnah. (following the Prophets way)

I don’t think that contribute well to your comment.

I still stand firm to my view.

I believe self hate is to do with it.

We’ve converted to Salafi Sunni Islam but people just don’t know it. We used to be 90%+ Sufi and now only a minority left are.

It’s very looked down upon by religious people given it’s hard to wash your scalp throughly with longer curly hair therefore harder to keep daahir

Wahabissm, Arabization.

Since when does Arabization have anything to do with long hair. No Islamic Scholars even the Salafi ones say its haram.

Only in today's modern world. Historically, men often had long hair. Even the Prophet s.a.w along with Nabi Issa ect. Tbh, most men a millennia ago did.

 

[Lebron James]

Long hair on men doesn't always look good, i can't imagine you pulling up to work with a fat afro thats noticeably unkept since its hard to maintain. Keeping it medium and getting a fade seems to be the norm which is good

Times have changed now and everybody is judgemental, taking care of a fat afro is too much work i did it over quarantine and it wasn't easy at all

It doesn't have anything to do with Islam more so image concerns

 

[Khanderson]

I find it funny Somali men dye their hair orange cause of (sunnah) but not strengthening their hair when that’s also permissible according to the Sunni belief.

 

[Abu Hesi]

When you say long hair you talking about soft curly hair mise timaha tiin tiinka u eg?

Straightening hair? How on earth is that Sunnah?
