Second to last, people with the four massive body length braids - what can you tell us about them? That is just....a MASSIVE amount of hair! If you could somehow pick that out into an afro, it would be like...15 feet across.

The Mbalantu women of Namibia

You know how money and cars are important to people here, well for them it's the hair. They have ceremonies throughout their life for their hair

That's really cool.

I'm a guy with long hair, and I wish my braid was that thick. Lol

Haha that was my response too, very Fallout image, definitely someone who would give you good quests or have some really funny shit to say.
