Himba men in Namibia typically wear their hair styled in a central crest covered with red ochre and grease, a symbol of maturity and strength. This hairstyle, called an ondatu, is carefully shaped and may be adorned with beads or leather strips. The shape and style of the hairstyle indicate social status and stage of life: young men usually wear a single braid down their back, while adults wear the more elaborate crest as a sign of having reached maturity. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas
