Can you tell which region a Somali is from just by looking at them?

[empressjamila]

I can sometimes tell with people from south Somalia. A lot have a particular shade of dark skin, almost Nilotic like and wavy soft hair

 

[Caaro]

no, and if you say you can, you’re a liar.

 

[exposedmeat]

why do dark-skinned have baljeet hair while light skin have afros, something ain't adding up and stop with these southern madows bs my friend is Abigail and he's light skin with loose curls, stop the stereotypes

 

[Juliet]

IDK how, but Isaaqs look pretty distinctive to other Somalis for me. They have these interesting looking almond shaped eyes

 

[Dontcomefome]

Lmao the dark skin and soft wavy curls/ straight hair is what threw madow off when Somalis arrived in the states because to them "good hair" as they called it meant you were mixed with white with Somalis the ones with the afros usually are lighter skinned

[Desert Flower]

This isn’t true. Though I’ve heard people say that certain tribes have a “look”

Ex: OG women are tall, slender and light skin

 

[Kant123]

Certain sub sub clans look different due to inter breeding

Tall you mean? Yeah that’s true but that’s the stereotypes that come up with regards to the women.

Naahh this is big cap I know a darkskin man with timo adeeg. Southerners are the same with northeners, curly or afro.

Don’t know where this stereotype of darkskin somalis having soft hair, most timo adeeg I know are darkskin
