Obroni Styles


The 2 ladies on the right got their hair at the Bush Cantene on campus.  (Far right:  she had her hair braided with extensions added; the style took about 5 or 6 hours and they ladies charged no more than 15 cedis which is about $10.)


Her hair was braided at a shop in the Bush Cantene on campus.  They charged no more than $5 and it probably lasted a couple weeks.

Dress made in Ghana

Jilly was brave enough to get the front of her hair braided.  It looks adorable.

Christine was the first Obroni that I had seen w/her their hair braided with extensions.  The style looked lovely on her.


She had it up for about 6 weeks and says it took her 8 hours to take it down!!!  She never got her hair braided again.


3 people to a head... gets you in and out of the salon in a jiffy!!  I love it!

Brie looks like a Barbie in a fitted dress and coin purse tailor-made by Elizabeth.

Tish and her friend dressed in dresses designed and made in Ghana.


Shay had her hair done at the Bush Cantene.  Those are not actual dreadlocks, but a weave that look like dreads.  Given the fact that she is from California- I thought it would be a style she brought from home but she had never seen it before.  They braided her natural hair and then had to sow the dreads to the braid.  She will have it taken down before she leaves because she doesn't know how to take it down.  Also, that dress was made by a seamstress in the Volta Hall.
