Tigray People
 The women of Tigray wear dozens of plaits (SHURUBA) tightly braided to the head and fuzzing out at the shoulders. Young children often have their heads shaved, except for a tuft or a small tail of plaits, which are left so that if God calls them "He will have a handle by which to lift them up to Heaven".
