PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
The YouTube videos that are showcased in this five part pancocojams series focus on some hair styles that are worn or were worn by Black females in an African nation or among females in the African Diaspora. In selecting African nations, I've limited my focus to countries in West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, and South Africa. I didn't include North Africa because of the difficulty finding YouTube videos of females who didn't have their hair covered. I apologize if this series doesn't focus on your country.

The videos in each post in this series are given in alphabetical order, except for Video #1. The geographical continent and region for each nation is given in parenthesis after that nation's name.

I had a few criteria for the videos that I selected for this blog series. I searched YouTube for videos of a particular nation and selected one for this series that featured girls and were of reasonably good visual and audio quality. I was interested in showcasing videos from 2019 on, but couldn't find videos from that period of time for a few of the nations that are featured in this series. I particularly favored videos for this series that featured Black female students in schools. Watching those videos show how similar and different schools are throughout the world.

None of these YouTube videos have "hair styles" as their theme. However, I'm using these videos to document hair styles that some Black girls wore/wear in those countries when those videos were produced.

In addition to documenting certain female hairstyles within a specific nation during the time periods noted in this post, these videos can serve as an introduction to certain nations. The content of these videos can also be viewed for aesthetic purposes (particularly those videos that showcases the singing, music, and/or the movement routines of the choirs/school student assemblies).

These videos aren't meant to suggest that the way/s that any population wear their hair should be an issue of concern or was/is one of the most important issues of concern for that population or for other people regarding that population. 

These YouTube videos in this pancocojams series weren't meant to document all of the hair styles that have been worn by Black high school females in these nations during the time period noted in this post. However, I believe that these videos are representative of a number of the hair styles that population wore/wear during those periods of time.

C
lick the "Black hair styles throughout the world" tag that is given below and/or the other tags that are found below for more pancocojams posts on the subject of Black people's hair styles.

A day in the life of an IB student in Nigeria | Babara Og


Babara Og, Jan 22, 2022

Hi guys! Here’s my very first YouTube video, a typical day in the life of an IBDP student in Nigeria.
-snip-
I added this video before researching what IBDP means. Here's some information from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IB_Diploma_Programme

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a two-year educational programme primarily aimed at 16-to-19-year-olds in 140 countries around the world. The programme provides an internationally accepted qualification for entry into higher education and is recognized by many universities worldwide
-snip-

Although IBDP may be post-secondary education in Nigeria, I decided to keep this video in this post since some students who are ages 16-19 are still in high school in some countries such as the United States.

Educating Girls in South Sudan | EWTN News In Depth


EWTN, Nov 11, 2022

In the region of Rumbek in South Sudan, a special school has been opened by the Loretto Sisters which aims to empower young women through education. Traditionally in South Sudan, girls are not seen worthy of an education as they are given in marriage in exchange for cows. The more cows a family has, the better off they are. Loretto Sister, Orla Tracey, is trying to change this trend in the rural area of Rumbek by encouraging girls to get secondary school education and go on to have careers. Colm Flynn brings us this report.
