Samburu moran (warrior) - a photo on Flickriver

            Many hours are spent by warriors braiding each others’ hair. The long hair style is designated ONLY for warriors in the masai and samburu tribes.  They color their hair red with clay & red ocher which is a pigment found in natural form in volcanic regions. 

I was not allowed to touch his hair because I'm a woman :-(
