EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s in Djibouti, East Africa, showcases a traditional hairdressing scene that offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region. The image features several local women, some breastfeeding their infants as they engage in the intricate process of hairdressing. Naked and barefoot, they sit on the ground, their bodies adorned with intricate patterns of body paint. The women use a variety of methods to style each other's hair, including combs made from animal bones and natural fibers. Their hair is braided in intricate designs, some reaching down to their waists, while others are styled in intricate updos. The women's faces are expressionless, focused on their task, creating an air of concentration and community. This photograph offers a unique window into the past, showcasing the traditional methods of hairdressing that have been passed down through generations in Djibouti. It is a reminder of the beauty and resilience of African women and their ability to maintain their cultural practices despite external influences. The image is a testament to the power of community and the importance of beauty rituals in shaping the identity of a people.
