The teenagers also have to alter their appearance at Eunoto. Masai boys' hair is very long before the ritual but they have to cut it off. In Masai culture, hair is an important symbol. For example, when a baby grows into an infant, the mother cuts the child's hair and gives the child a name. At a Masai wedding, the hair of the bride is alsocut offasshebecomes awoman. And so, at Eunoto, theteenageboy'smothercuts his hairoffat sunrise. On the final day, the teenagers meet the senior elders one moretime. They get this advice: "Now you are men, use your heads and knowledge." Then, people start to travel back to their homes and lands. The teenagers are no longerwarriors. Theyareadult men and nowtheywill getmarried and havechildren.
