Ghanaian Emprezz

 I give the relaxer to my hairdresser but she doesn't read what is written on the relaxer box and proceeds to apply it. Me: "Please make sure you don't spread the relaxer to the tips". Hair dresser: "ma ti (I've heard you)" I sit for 10 minutes for the relaxer to  work. Me : "e shi shi me (it's burning me)" Hairdresser : "just wait for a minute more so that your hair can relax" (the popular believe that the longer you sit, the better the effect) Me : "I can't wait". "Wash it out quickly"

I realize there are a lot of women with natural hair in my motherland, Ghana (Gh). My search on the net has led me to believe that my Ghanaian friends are becoming more conscious of the change in the natural hair scene across the globe. From the great business women in the Makola market down to the roadside/street hawkers, you will notice the "nappy" texture on their heads. Most of them rock the popular natural hairstyle known as "twists" perhaps that's the simplest go-to style. As the weeks go by, i'll do my best to find out some of their hair care practices as well as their favourite styles.  my newest posts on natural hair in Ghana I hennaed my hair How I whipped my sheabutter mix Ecostyler Gel 1st Attempt The Best Season For Twist Outs How I Detangle My Natural Hair After A Weave Stay tuned!
