Had the most brilliant holiday in Cape Town South Africa. The weather was devine and hot and sunny every day. All the black girls are wearing wigs & hairpieces even though it must be really expensive for them there. They mostly have the grotty jobs and many of them have no jobs at all. They fix each others hair and we saw them in the street, sitting out in the sun braiding hair and attaching hair extensions and trimming wigs.
They are not remotely self conscious about it. They have absolutely no inhibitions - so long as their hair looks good, they will spend their very last rand on it. I find that a very refreshing attitude!
I actually wore a childrens wig in a very light colour whilst I was there. I figured it would be hot and therefore the light colour and really snug fit would be most comfortable and it was. It is girl 2 wig in colour ref: FR25F. Here is a picture of me wearing it. Looks a bit weird as it was night and using a flash! But the wig is good +++
I noticed the same thing during my visit. They care less of what other people may say about them. If they feel it, they’ll buy it. I think it’s a great attitude. They are so into non-surgical hair replacement system, meaning they want it replaceable, designable and customizable. And that is what I admire on you, seriously.
ReplyDeleteThat's in their culture. I love the African's attitude toward their hair. I'm sure you've had an amazing South Africa holidays.
