    Ghana has embraced natural hair. But for some Accra salons, it has been bad for business http://bbc.in/2FrqF1Q pic.twitter.com/qMBzDyIQ4Q

        This is one of the things I've been proudest of in Ghana in the last decade.

        Wonder why they don't "update" their skills to adjust to the current trend. Learn to handle natural hair!

        I can only imagine. Natural hair may not require that many salon visits

        My mum and my aunties wore natural hair in their youth from the pictures I saw. A lot of other folks too did same. So I think this thing isn't new. They had all those plaited hairstyles. I've seen lots of pictures like that.

        Looking at the way the relaxer has been applied why wouldn't it be bad for business? Sister is in a world of pain.
