How did us Somalis have small forehead before civil war

[Sigmundd]

I noticed somalis had smaller forehead back in the day compared to now. How did we end up getting extremely large foreheads with non existing hairline? and how do we reverse back to our normally shaped forehead again?

Somalis pre civil war and post look like two different races facially wise. Biggest changes must be the jaw structure & shoulder to hip ratio in current day Somalis not even the forehead. All cuz of malnourishment + born in a state of stress.

Soft foods is the main drive behind the change in jawline.

They were the same thing. It's normal. 20% of Somalis don't have a forehead and 20% have good hairlines .

A high forehead is attractive, the issue is with receding foreheads caused by various things. With women, it's caused by too-tight hairstyles aka traction alopecia. It's important to switch up hairstyles etc. With men, I notice a lot of Somali men used to shape up their foreheard with razors, pushing back their hairline.

Also, back in the day Somali men used to grow their hair long, oil it etc, they used to pride themselves on their appearance, whereas post-colonialism, Western culture introduced more 'function' than style, with boring hair cuts etc, etc. If you look at Somalis back in the day, they had more flair/style/variety etc.

Long story short; look after yourself, don't follow trends, have hairstyles that suits you, eat good food/ancestral diet.

Somalis back home, look too skinny and short to me, definitely malnourishment and bad food imported from abroad that are out of date or fake.

Poot diet, stress, un-balanced hormones, and vitamin d deficiency = hair loss.


When your body doesn't have enough vitamin d, your keratinocytes seem to struggle regulating your natural hair cycle, reducing hair growth and increasing hair shedding. With lower vitamin d levels, the anagen (growth) phase of your hair cycle seems to shorten and your telogen (resting) phase seems to lengthen.

This is the big problem with the somalis in the west now a days.

Interesting so we should introduce vitamin d in our community along with having a structured diet plan.
