I will always remember and love this moment, strangers meeting for the first time, how I walked past the stunning Hamar women as they sat in a circle singing and laughing. This moment made me so happy because I am certain they were laughing at me. One of the most recognizable features of the Hamar women is their hair. They fix their hair in short, dense ringlets and mix in butterfat and red ochre to give it a characteristic dark red colour. Colorful bracelets are also worn around their waists and arms, in addition to shells adorning the edges of their goatskin dresses.
