Full description
For this final image. I think different cultures have different dress traditions and hairstyles. Not all styles are the same, because in the past, beauty was something that every woman was interested in. The photo above shows many women with long hair, also known as Taregami long straight hair. I think their hair is shiny, and its natural black color, because when they let their hair down and straighten it, the longer it stays, the better it looks. And in terms of style, Black Hair now with a length that touches the ground is considered a symbol of beauty at that time.
