THE UNIQUE HAIRDO OF HIMBA WOMAN

[yanga]

HI GUYS

A painting of a Himba woman showcasing their unique hairdo made from red ochre. The Himba women, cover their hair and body in red ochre called otjize. Otjize is a locally produced mixture of butter, animal fat, and red ochre. Though I didn't color it, you would have seen the red color of their hair and skin. These women usually smear their skin and hair with these mixtures every morning as a beautification ritual before they tend to their livestock. It protects their skin from the scorch of the sun, and it also gives a cleansing effect to the hair and skin.

I stylized it to my taste and added some injunction-like horns.
