They don't have hair, but do they have nails?

Hard to tell from the art so maybe some do and some don't.
But why not?

Also, some Obsidimen are sedimentary, some are igneous, and some are metamorphic, so it would make perfect sense for the sedimentimen to have nails and not the ignewomen.

True fact: 20% of an obsidiman weaponsmith's income is generated by nail clipper sales.

Well technically obsidimen have no gender (or maybe both at once), although an obsidiman may choose to specifically identify with one or the other :)
