Congolese women take pride in their appearance. So, they are like women everywhere. They want to look good, too.
After seeing Oprah and Chris Rock discuss the movie, Good Hair. I started me to thinking about the hair of Congolese women. In rural poor Congo, hair styles are almost non-existent. These working women do not have the time and money. Also, elaborate hair styles are not practical. Scarfs are the typical head-ware for the poor women.
Natural Hair-dos, weaves, and wigs are a sign of prosperity.
