뜻
Describing dark-colored hair.
문화적 배경
Black hair is often associated with the 'Dalagang Bukid' (Country Maiden) archetype, representing purity and natural beauty. Despite the natural prevalence of black hair, dyeing hair brown or blonde is a popular way to express individuality in cities like Manila. Gugo (a natural vine bark) was traditionally used to keep 'maitim na buhok' shiny and thick. Shampoo commercials in the Philippines almost exclusively feature models with extremely long, straight, and 'maitim na buhok'.

Always use 'na' after 'maitim' because it ends in a consonant. This is a golden rule for Filipino adjectives.
Complimenting Hair
