For Chinese people, wigs may be relatively rarely seen, or on some special occasions only occasionally see things, and applicable people are only a few.

But wigs are as necessary for African women as lipstick is for Chinese women.

In Africa, women without three or four wigs at home are embarrassed to say they know how to live; no regular trips to the barber for a new set of wigs braided hair can only mean that the wallet is too embarrassed.

When a girl postpones a date with me, the reason is often the laborious and time-consuming hair braiding work is not finished.

Wigs are arguably the second most important need in Africa outside of beer, as evidenced by the fact that barbershops are second only to bistros in terms of density of distribution.

African women's preference for wigs has given rise to a huge wig market In 2017, the consumption of wig products in Africa reached more than $4.3 billion. Every woman I know in the City of France is deeply involved in this multi-billion dollar bonanza.

If you live in Africa, and if you look closely, an African woman will change her hair in front of others at intervals of more than a week.

For example, today is a straight wig, the next time for a curly wig; today is a black wig, the next time for a blonde wig; today is a long wig, the next time for a short wig; today a pigtail, the next time for an explosive head. So much so that sometimes you can't recognize her at once.

In addition to wigs braided into pigtails, there are also ready-made wig sets, mostly big waves or straight hair. While big waves are still natural, cheap straight hair often comes together in locks, while leaving a raw hairline on the scalp like a novice practicing gouging.

However, the fascination with straight wigs seems to have somehow blinded them, as if wigs as long as they are straight, all these shortcomings can be ignored.

The above is a brief introduction to wig culture in Africa.
