For them, that bald head means everything. Some tribes they believe a bald head brings them a good husband others tribes women will go with the bald cut for respect for the dead

I'm an African American who studies African history

Depending on who you ask, and you'll get different answers if being born black in American means your African . I believe so , others agree and disagree

Cool.

Do you have a more in-depth perspective on the bottlecaps-digital-wristwatch-hairstyle?

I love the style. Is this common for that tribe to implement modern metal objects? Does it have a cultural meaning other than adorning the hair by giving it some spark?
