I have been amazed and impressed by the elaborate hairdos of many of the women I have met here in Zambia. Many of the young women have long hair reaching far down their back. Sometimes the hair is in small plaits/braids; other times just hanging loose. Many have short straight bobs, or curly loose ringlets. And the colours, as in Britain, range from lavender to glossy black.In some church choirs all the women have not only matching outfits, but also matching hair with exactly the same texture, length and style. Amazing!
Lo and behold! These fancy dos are wigs! Though hot, they are much cheaper than having plaits/braids woven in, which after a month or two need to be removed and new ones purchased and attached. Cheaper, also, than dying one’s own hair and having to find the money for that ritual on a regular basis. Rather, purchase a few wigs for instant access to a variety of hairstyles!Sally, a third year Bachelor of Theology Student here at UCZ University, enlightened me…and showed me her wig collection. She encouraged me to share this post and assures me it’s okay to share all this with you (smile).
Please pray for Sally and all the third-year students at UCZ University that they may pass their upcoming exams and feel confident in their call as they transition from the University to full-time ministry.
