I think I am

[SOULSEARCHING]

The only Somali person in my city with 4c hair type. Very rare hair type for Somalis to have. I think I may have a west African ancestor in my blood?


What do you guys think ?

 

[motivation]

Some Somalis confuse frizzy hair for being 4c

 

[greyhound stone]

Very possible you have a bantu ancestor. Remember this is 4c

It’s 4c hair. I looked it up. My mother says it is from my dads side , his great grandma was from the south mudug & she had hair like me

 

[pirater]

it is rare. My maternal grandad had 4c hair.

Many somalis from konfur interbreed with bantus. Not all

But my family would know if we were mixed with Bantu. They said we’re not.

Ethnic Somalis can’t have 4c hair, Somalis look the same in every region so idk why his great grandma being from south mudug would be relevant

Is this your type of hair

If it is then it’s not 4c

4c hair is beautiful

Maybe then our ssa ancestor activated in you. Somalis are generally 60% sub Saharan dna for pure somalis..

Ngl I wish I had Madow hair. I think it's better 3b i don't like as it's super curly and could be blowed by wind

but ive seen some Somalis with 4c and they aren’t even from the south

I saw a Somali on tiktok thought he was Sudanese turns out he was issaq from Somali land

I have another cousin who has straight hair. We so diverse. Benefit of being a racially mixed group

Seems like the darker the softer the hair

sadly that is not the case tho cause my mom is lighter then my dad and she has soft hair and skinny Somali nose
