Somali men used to grow their hair out, and butter it, a few generations ago just like Afars do, but why did they stop doing that
It looks amazing:banderas: Y'all have some great hair, why do you cut it?
Somali guys with curly or afro hair look 10x better IMO

It's crazy what hair does to Somali men. I wouldn't think most of them were Somali had I met them in real life :dead:

Their hair looks hella healthy and soft, tolow maxay ku sameyen? They need to share their secret wallahi cuz we out here suffering and going bald before we even reach 25:mjcry:
 
Somali society is more accepting of growing your hair out if its straight jileec:mjswag:
They just don't want to see that 'ciyaal suuq' afro hair

Northern somali Sufis still practice this traditional. That's why they're nicknamed "Xerta timo weyn"

This group haven't succumbed to arabization. There's a stark difference between how cultured they are compared to the Saudi dressed sheikhs with short hair, long beards who interject the somali language with Arabic words. That's how they slowly got the sudanese to lose their nubian identity.
