lool. Maya, qoorta iyo qadaanqadka are two different things. Qadaanqadka is usually where the hairline ends on the head, right before the back of the neck starts. Your hair goes from the forhead to the qadaanqat. (I hope my illustration is helping ). A typical somali barbershop terminology waaye, too.
