Surma (or Suri) women, an ethnic group from southwestern Ethiopia, are known for wearing lip plates as part of a rite of passage and cultural symbol. Upon reaching adolescence, some women pierce their lower lips and gradually stretch them to accommodate clay or wooden discs. This adornment is seen as a sign of beauty, social status, and maturity within their community.

Karo/Kara tribe beauty salon, Karo is famous for painting clay on their body, but they also make cool hairstyles for girls. Finished product pics to follow. I get such ball drops all over my head. Not to bad looking. It's actually a whole ritual. The Karo people mix clay with fat and apply this mixture on their hair to create unique hairstyles. The custom has symbolic significance and is connected to the tribe's religious and cultural beliefs.Karo/ Kara tribe, Omo Valley, Ethiopia. . . . 📸 @xen
