Amazon Women Grooming
 
Amazon women and girls often groom each other, an important activity both socially and health wise.  Hair styles of Amazonian women vary from tribe to tribe, with some tribes (such as the Huaorani illustrated above) having long hair to the Matis and Korubos who generally crop their hair very short.  Some tribes (e.g. Kayapo) shave part of their head, while others (e.g. the Matsés and Marubo), generally have bangs.  Depending upon the tribe, headbands are also worn by women.  However in others, only the men are permitted to wear headbands.
