Somali men should grow out their hair long and beards thick

I heard growing a long hair is a stigma in Somalia for some reason.

There was a thread just not long ago: a
Somali diaspora got arrested for growing a long hair.

The authorities didn’t gave enough reason on why he was arrested besides saying: “this isn’t our culture”which is bullshit because Somalis have always grown long hair.


But here’s the post: https://www.somalispot.com/threads/arrested-for-hairstyle-wtf.114730/
Globalisation is what I blame, many other countries also used to embrace long hair until the last few centuries. Now it’s only acceptable for men to have short or medium hair. Glad to see more bros growing out their hair long.

I actually think is more to do with self hate than global influence.

Bleaching is a growing phenomena in Somalia.

People are losing their self pride and becoming insecure of their ethnic features.

They’re consuming Indian mainstream contents.
They gotta stop doing that and start relying on African or Somali televised mainstream contents.

But this self loathing stems mostly from poorer countries.

When you’re insecure of your self image sometimes you wanna be someone you’re not.

Even Europeans used to have long hair, like the vikings. But I agree that self hate is definitely a factor, India being the best example of self hatred.

if you have short to medium length hair, it’s best to have a beard and you can keep it rugged/scruffy and long. if you have long hair it’s best to keep a stuble and line it up.

The key is having a balance that compliments and evens out the face. having a complete shaved head and no facial hair will make you look like boy. having long hair and a long scruffy beard will make you look homeless

Ngl You kinda remind me of that SomaliCorner guy you guys have a similar face to me.

but anyway you got any hair tips for me? Products or detangler?
I don't use many products, I wash my hair with shea butter conditioner, 1-2 times a month with the shampoo variant, I also use the leave-in conditioner daily.

Gently remove the water with your hands first from the hair, then pat it dry gently with a towel and let it air dry.

Nowadays, I don't keep it as long.

Leave in conditioner daily? I’m no expert but surely that’s not good for your hair?
