She’s got the equivalent of her hair in curlers and the western world is like “WOW! Whipped milk, So hot right now!”

I think this might be a Muila woman, not Gambue.
"Women coat their hair with a red paste called, oncula, which is made of crushed red stone. They also put a mix of oil, crushed tree bark, dried cow dung and herbs on their hair." (and yellow, I'm not sure if there's a meaning to the differences 'cause I'm done looking it up)

Según leo: La tribu gambue comparte muchas costumbres con sus vecinos muilas y handas. Una de ellas es el uso deo complejos peinados que indican el estado civil de cada mujer gambue. Para la mujer gambue tradicional el peinado es muy importante y significativo. Se cubren el cabello con una pasta de color mostaza, hecha de un tipo de piedra amarillenta triturada, mezclada con grasa de leche, estiércol de vaca y hierbas.

DeepL Translator - According to what I read: The Gambue tribe shares many customs with their Muila and Handas neighbors. One of these is the use of complex hairstyles that indicate the marital status of each Gambue woman. For traditional Gambue women, hairstyles are very important and meaningful. They cover their hair with a mustard-colored paste made from a type of crushed yellowish stone mixed with milk fat, cow manure, and herbs.
