There’s nothing wrong with that. There’s a lot of places I’d love to visit but have never managed to get to. I’ve been lucky enough to meet some Himba in Northern Namibia on various ocasions, and if you’re looking for a coffee table book on them you could do a lot worse than this one:

Tsedey: I can’t find any connection etween Himba and Hamer in the literature I’ve got. The general opinion is that they came down from Angola in the 16th century, but I can’t find anything before that. It does seem like the same mixture though. Is the Hamer ochre really “fragrant” as well?

Great site by the way. I stumbled across it yesterday and am slowly working my way through it.

“its amazing that the Hamer probably are two thousand miles away but do something very unique”

Could they be from same origin?? and since they are nomadic..they travel across the continent..just a thought.

Lol Yonas- that is amazing- its amazing that the Hamer probably a two thousand miles away but do something very unique

thanks for that link

Do not ever attempt this at home….one of the stupider things I’ve done in my life. Hailu did my hair with ochre, ash and butter….I thought it was a good idea at the time…before I found out that it doesn’t wash out to easily. Looks great on the Hamer women…just not on me 

our hamer women love ochre too

B.e.a.u.t.i.ful! I wonder how often they paint themselves.
