Its a fact many of us have high hairlines(not me) similar to Northern Europeans, but the difference is that Cadaans grow out their hair and wear it longer to take away from it while Somali men of today cut it rather short. Which is wrong because you should never cut your hair short unless you have a low hairline.

Here is a couple examples illustrating why longer hair is better for Somali men.

Somali ONLF Soldiers with long hairstyles







This and the hairstyle of parting our hair in the middle. Much easier nowadays to stylize this to due modern products.

Here some more examples of Somali men with Afro's




Further proof why should wear our hair long.

Me looking at some of my pics before the Eid snip.




After a while it comes down to this.

Looks good > the energy it takes to maintain it

Walahi its worth it tho growing out my hair has been a good decision i have been getting compliments left and right by girls. Also people just randomly touching it and obsessed with it.

Its about time we spend energy on how we look bro like our ancestors used to do. It also projects something that becomes unique to us.

I agree 100%

What I find strange is all the young guys going bald due to the atrocious western diet. Most of our ancestors were not bald, or short haired, neither did they wear skinny jeans and other junk imposed on our culture.

Be proud of who you are, by taking care of your health. You are what you eat, and grow your hair out as it is a part of our identity and culture.

Another thing that annoys me no end is young Somalis who cannot speak their mother language. Learn Somali and be proud of who you are!

You lucky bastard, had similar experience when I grew my hair out, never ever cut your hair. Hair is the first thing people notice when they see you. It’s your identity, you can determine the region of the world someone is from simply because of their hair, and it’s a signal of health, vitality and energy (Look into native Indian and Us Army Hair experiment; these a reason the military force personal to cut their hair).

Our parents and grandparents generations seem to have lost the art of appreciating hair and its importance. Any Somali male with long hair is automatically lambasted for being a thug or ciyal suuq. Yet few generations back he would have been heralded as the standard of Somali aesthetics. Lets like we have lost our knowledge, wisdom of our forefathers and belief in self.

One of my biggest regret was cutting my hair. It was a liberating and refreshing feeling stepping out the shower with long damp wet hair. Always had a feeling this The instant feeling of regret the second the clippers touched my hair and the feeling of losing oneself. Left the barber shop depressed and remorseful

Compare Somalis to African Americans. Somalis “naturally” have higher hairline(But I have a theory for that). However, Somalis have a “better” lower third than African Americans. The law of attraction is the law of manipulation. African Americans push up their hairline, so these more emphasis on their lower third. Somalis need to do the opposite, grow a slight fringe or long hair, and cover the forehead so high hairline doesn’t take away from facial features. I laugh when I see Somalis or anything with a high hairline get a line up, they doing more damage that they know.

Somalis just 2-3 generations ago

There's change in the midst

I have someone unique to address today. This is regarding the condition and texture of your hair.

For the past month, I have been lazy when it comes to shampooing and conditioning my hair. Every time I am in the shower, I ask why must I put all these chemicals into my head, it isn't natural or healthy. So I went on a shampoo/condition fast and the results have been amazing. The first week my hair was really greasy and it even caused pimples to appear on forehead due to the amount of grease, however, I reasoned that my hair was returning to the natural level of Oil and it was creating some excess since it was finding its natural level. However, now that pimples have disappeared and my hair is lush and full than every before. When I use to use the shampoo/conditioner, my hair would turn dry quickly and become hard and need constant brushing to look presentable. However, now my hair looks darker, lusher and more wild and easier to maintain.

I suggest all of you try this at least for one month and report back your findings ,

Never use shampoo or conditioner on your hair, you don’t need it and if anything damages the hair and shampoo chemicals can cause immune response and dries the hair. The only external factors that help hair health is cold showers and sunlight. It has been years since I used that poison.

Yeah what bothers me is that they think it's solely genetic why their hairline and hair is thinning. Even if you have the gene to lose hair it shouldn't be expressed until you are in your 60's. It's not just the western diet, but the newly adopted Somali baasto , bariis and sookor diet which causing premature hairloss in youth.

Even tho some of our ancestors were in caloric deficit which facilitate to poor growth in musculature, their diet mainly consisted of meat and raw milk. Thats why they looked more aesthetically better than the Somalis of today and health wise they bore none of the modern diseases which plague Somalis today. Our teeth ,skin and bone structure development among complications our new diet has cost us.

To me it is strange to think about how heterogeneous we are in our health. Like Oxidant said our community and parents lambast Faraax's for growing out their hair. So its not interily the youths fault .Hopefully we can reconstruct our culture.

Another thing that annoys me no end is young Somalis who cannot speak their mother language. Learn Somali and be proud of who you are!

Well tbh Some avoid or are anxious to attempt in speaking their mother tongue. In fear of being shamed or mocked for it. Those who do speak it have to endure being ridiculed and tolerate condescending responses.

While others who want to learn their language but fail so because their almost no avenue to resources or methods available for them to learn their language effectively.

Although not speaking Somali creates communication barriers and cultural confusion, its not the end all or be all. What's most important is for them to be conscious about their identity and the community they are apart of in the diaspora. More emphasis should be placed on that and our muslim values.

Woow this right here is very interesting read , thank you
https://www.sott.net/article/234783-The ... -Hair-Long

The mammalian body has evolved over millions of years. Survival skills of human and animal at times seem almost supernatural. Science is constantly coming up with more discoveries about the amazing abilities of man and animal to survive. Each part of the body has highly sensitive work to perform for the survival and well being of the body as a whole.The body has a reason for every part of itself.

Hair is an extension of the nervous system, it can be correctly seen as exteriorized nerves, a type of highly evolved 'feelers' or 'antennae' that transmit vast amounts of important information to the brain stem, the limbic system, and the neocortex.

Not only does hair in people, including facial hair in men, provide an information highway reaching the brain, hair also emits energy, the electromagnetic energy emitted by the brain into the outer environment. This has been seen in Kirlian photography when a person is photographed with long hair and then rephotographed after the hair is cut.

When hair is cut, receiving and sending transmissions to and from the environment are greatly hampered. This results in numbing-out .

Cutting of hair is a contributing factor to unawareness of environmental distress in local ecosystems. It is also a contributing factor to insensitivity in relationships of all kinds. It contributes to sexual frustration.

Yeah i agree. My mother cussed me out said "uuufff ufuf timo da dheer sida naago baa raabta? Absolutely not" and i am getting major pressure from pseudo sheikhs into cutting it. But i don't care , i say screw them. I will keep it.

But It truly proves how culture ain't static but an ever changing thing, if a half a century ago go they were rocking dhoore haircuts , long hair.

What made you cut your hair short if you regretted it?

Whats the theory? i just figured that it was something linked to racial skull structure, but i have seen many somalis with medium or low hairline even tho on average ''High'' ones are a rule.. I myself have a medium hairline not to low and not to high.

What do you mean by lower third?

''Grow a slight fringe or long hair, and cover the forehead so high hairline doesn’t take away from facial features''

You mean like this?


Also check out the positive compliments he is getting about his looks and hair in the comment section of this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_wbCffETZY

The fact he looks like a generic Somali, further illustrates what you and i are saying about long hair.

Lamagoodles and long hair is an oxymoron. 98% of lamagoodles can only grow hair that goes up aka afro. The rest 2% who can grown long hair that goes down have bastard indian or italian blood in their dna. The OP is delusional.

Absolutely bro, agree 100%,

The western diet and medical system is actually destroying our health on so many levels. But Allah is merciful and there is always a way out of the stress we have caused our bodies and soul. It is not too late!

Since I have started growing my hair, the comments have just been out of this world. Nearly every Somali I meet shows a slight air of arrogance and disrespect, as if they have now lost all respect for me. It is like we have a deep held ancient memory about our ancestors and what we have lost, and young guys like us remind them of something. We are like rebels, and people are so superficial that they fall for the euro centric clean cut aesthetic and they automatically put us in the same category as troublesome youth or ciyaal suuq.

Obviously the baldies are usually just bitter and jealous. But strangely I get a lot more attention from females, not that it matters to me, as I have a family already.

I would have to disagree with you on this. Please study the English language, and how it is extremely limited compared to our ancient languages. English locks you in a low frequency of expression, and it seems to be getting smaller with deliberate dumbing down of the school system.

The entire language is based on white supremacy, and has tendencies of homosexuality imbedded within it. If you do not believe me, do the research and you will see what I mean.

Even in terms of health, English and most European languages place no emphasis on deep breathing and guttural sounds like our ancient languages. It actually causes issues with breathing and hypoxia.

Finally by forgetting your ancient mother tongue, you cut your connection to a fountain of ancient knowledge, just the amount of beauty and complexity within our poetry amazes even racist Europeans who study our language, as their languages do not even come close.

If you do not know your mother tongue, it is not too late, and do not worry about people laughing at you. Go home on holiday and reconnect to your people and land bro.
