Yea... that's right. Saloon, pronounced just like the old time western bars.... saloon. However, it was a hair salon. I went with Maa last night.... everyone else was getting their hair curled and set... so I did it too. haha. It looked real cute.... last night. Today, the curls have fallen, and it isn't cute at all. It was a nice change for one day anyway. Sometimes I wish my hair really was curly.... though a perm is too permanent for me.... I will just stick with the rollers. For the lady to wash my hair, and roll it and style it cost GH 1.50. That is the equivalent of about $1 USD. The people here are definately underpaid. So... instead of "gettn' my nails did"... I can get my hair curled??? Ughhh, not quite, but it is a nice treat. Maa says soon we will go to Ksi (Kumasi) and get a nice pedicure... haha. Though I have noticed most of the women here who get pedicures have FAKE nails on their toes. I can do fake nails.... on my fingers, but I will pass on my toes. That is a bit too weird for me.
You look good...I have never seen you with a curly do! Do the women there wear extensions and weave their hair like in America or not?
ReplyDeleteYou look younger and thinner in your picture...maybe you should curl your hair more?
Love MOM
Your face is looking super skinny! Have you lost a lot of weight because you don't like the food there? Maybe chubby people in America who want to lose weight should do the "Ghana diet" instead of crazy stuff like the South beach diet. haha.
ReplyDeleteAlso, did all of your curls fall out do to the humidity? Does the local womens' hair hold the curl better than a white girls? :)
your face is looking skinny! I think that's the first place people usually lose weight..
ReplyDeleteI like your hair a lot too :).
