Diversity of Somali hair

[Sup]

Never understood people’s obsession with hair !

 

[Xeda]

I think 1-2 type hair are uncommon type 3& 4 are the most common

Type 3 is the most common, it’s rare to see a Somali with 4c hair or 1a hair.

How often do you see timo carpet ?

2c is rare

 

[EyiPunter]

Lmao you have enough representation. I wanted to show love to other hair types

Who is this representative you are speaking about? because you just stated 2c is rare

 

[Xeda]

2c is rare

Type 1 is rare type 2 is not, most the boys in my Dugsi back in Somalia has type 3 or 2 while most the girls had type 3

While it is rare Somali beauty pages love to overrepresent type 1-2 hair on their little insta reels & TikTok collages

My dad has 2c too but it’s still uncommon.. I’m basing my opinion based on who I grew up around. Type 3-4 were the most common

All the somalis I know with 4c hair are all lightskin

I don’t think it rare at all I see loads of ppl with this hair type but I would say 3/4a is also as common -

also when you google somali the first thing you see are timo jileecs you don’t see that many timo jar3eer women that’s probably why it seems over represented

True, the darkest Somalis have the loosest curls from what I’ve noticed

Somalis are a mixture of ancient Levantine ancient North African and ancient East African, because of that it’s rare to see a Somali with completely kinky hair or completely straight hair, most of us are inbetween (I.e 2b-4b )
This is your average Somali hair

I remember this multiple conversation that really crapped me out about hair. year and half ago i had long hair and it was up to my shoulders. i was working at this part time job for summer to save up for school stuff. I had multiple time this happened by madows they would state "once you cut your hair please let me have it". Wlyhi this was the crappest thing i hear once i was alway grow my hair out.

I don’t think type 4 is as rare as yall make it out to be. Either way, I wanted to show love to a underrepresented & often times abused group of Somalis

4c is what’s rare, 4a and 4b aren’t that uncommon

Most Somalis have jareeer hair

Jar33r hair looks like this:

If you actually touch it, it is rough and hard, hence the name "Jar33r". No Somali will have this hair type unless he/she has madow ancestry.

The average Somali has this hair:

It is very curly, but if you touch it, it is soft. Not "Jar33r".

As I noted earlier, you seem to have an odd agenda of assimilating us into the madow community.

 

[EyiPunter]

Do any of yall find it wrong to sell hair products that work on Somalis to madow and have them believe they will grow the same hair?
