Tribal life is fading with the invasion of the modern lifestyle. Kenya is one of the most advanced African countries and one can notice clearly that tribes are affected by globalization.

In this series, I am showing the beauty of cultural diversity and how fashion is playing a key role in showing the uniqueness of each tribe.

I've posted on Bored Panda previously and had photographed other tribes too. If you are interested you can find more posts that are similar to this one by clicking here, and here.

Why do they put mud on their hair? It's only for beauty or it has a practical purpose, too?

I believe that it protects their hair from the sun and there are minerals in the mud to almost condition it. I'm not 100% positive but I think I remember reading that.

what is the significance of the accessories they r wearing? in every photo it's different. does it have to do with seniority, accomplishments and honor? it seems, the older they become, the heavier their accessories become. also, they are all so intricate and beautiful!

why is his hair orange? does that signify something or is it tradition for young men’s hair to be orange?
