The Afar tribe of East Africa is known for their distinctive goat butter afro, a traditional hairstyle where both men and women coat their hair with a mixture of butter and ochre. The butter protects the hair and scalp from the region’s intense heat and dry winds, while the style itself is a symbol of beauty and cultural pride. The glossy, sculpted look not only keeps the hair moisturized but also reflects the Afar’s deep connection to their land and traditions. #culture #tribe #hair #africa #af

They wear amulets with qur’anic verses to protect themselves from demons and evil spirits. The stylish Afar women also wear their jewelry both as a display of their wealth and as adornments of beauty, most notably on special occasions such as their wedding day. @ethiopian.wildlife #OhAfrika #PocaTribe | Oh Afrika | Facebook
