  Red Yao woman

 

China

A woman of the Red Yao, a branch of Yao found in Longsheng (fig.), in southern China, whose members have very long hair, reminiscent of the women of the Ha Nhi ethnic group of Y Ty in northern Vietnam (fig.).

 

Both men and women coil up their hair and then wrap it with a long piece of cloth, black for women and red for men.
