It is heartening to note that we are wearing Ghanaian clothes.They are locally designedmand one can see a lot of business there for designers and makers of these things.The items include footwear , beads and other accessories.The one area that I would love to see a change is in the hair department.Is it possible to go to our natural hair and see what we can do with it, so we look good without looking artificial.As it is now, you see a Ghanaian lady beautifully turned out in nice elegant African/Ghanaian outfit from shoulder down.On top you find a caricature that you cant describe charitably.Some of the wigs and weaves and whatsit is just plain ........Of course there is a business lobby out there which rakes in billions in profits.This lobby is interested in the wigs, lotions, creams, relaxers, combs, stretchers, washers, dryers etc which are all associated with and are complementary and additional to the HAIR INDUSTRY.And of course ALL yes ALL of it is imported; and therefore adds to our balance of trade and, consequently, the strength - or weakness - of our Cedi. Is anybody taking NOTICE.
