Hamer women wear their hair in short braids coated with a mixture of reddish ochre, ghee, and resins, giving it its characteristic color. This paste, called gesso, protects the hair from the sun and symbolizes beauty, strength, and a connection to their traditions. The braids are formed into small strands that fall around the face, creating the typical and highly recognizable hairstyle of the Omo Valley. #fblifestyletyle #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas
