PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
I'm an African American woman who has watched a number of YouTube videos of Maasai culture and has read a number of online articles and offline books about Maasai culture. I've done so as part of my general interest in Black cultures around the world.

By no means am I suggesting that I am an expert on Maasi culture.

As a result of perusing numerous YouTube videos of secular and religious Maasai music -especially videos published after 2017 - it appears that many if not most Maasai women don't  adhere to the traditional custom of shaving their hair. This contradicts the descriptions of Maasai women that are found in most internet articles. I decided to search for and then post information and videos on this subject to help correct what appears to me to be outdated and erroneous information about this African culture.

In the religious and secular YouTube videos of Maasai culture that I've watched, the Maasai women (particularly those who wouldn't be categorized as "older women") wear their hair in very similar (if not the same) hairstyles as most of the hairstyles that are worn by African American females.

Although women are the  focus of these pancocojams posts about changes in Maasai hairstyles, these showcased videos (and some other YouTube videos) also document changes in the ways that some Maasai men wear their hair (including some men having facial hair) and the ways that some Maasai children wear their hair.

**
The pancocojams posts in this series aren't meant to suggest any positive or negative valuation about the changes in hair shaving and hair styling customs among the Maasai people. However, it seems likely that such significant cultural changes as the ways that women-and men- wear their hair has had and may continue to have societal ramifications for Maasai people.

Click http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2017/12/youtube-videos-that-showcase- multiple.html for a 2017 pancocojams post on this subject. That post, entitled "YouTube Videos That Showcase Multiple Hairstyles Worn By Contemporary Maasai Women", showcases some older YouTube videos of Maasai women with shaven heads, and links to more contemporary videos of Maasai women with various hairstyles. These with hyperlinked videos replace videos that had been embedded in that post are no longer available.
