When I first arrived in Africa, I noticed
that most of the men have curly hair but many of the women have straight hair.
I did not know the reason for the difference. Then one day while I was walking
past a beauty parlour, I saw a board displaying the services that they provide.
One of the services was hair straightening. I then realised that the women were
getting their hair straightened. Later on, I saw hair straightening devices
being sold in some shops. Most of them were made in China, some were made in
Germany. People in China and Germany do not have curly hair. It is obvious they
are manufacturing these devices solely for export. Africa is a big continent with
many countries. Each country has a section of the population that is well to
do. So Africa is a big market for such products.
Straight hair is more popular among the
affluent African girls. Men don’t seem to care as much about their hair.Wednesday, April 22, 2015
