Rain Wear

Women in Uganda wear bags on their heads.

I find this exceptionally funny, because growing up the one thing we were always taught was never to put you head in a bag.

But here women pay a lot of money for their hair to be just perfect… And it needs to stay for at least a couple of weeks. A lot of gel is used to make the hair perfect and most gels are water soluble.

So when they get ready to go out in the morning – it goes shoes, coat, and plastic bag.

Uchumi, Shoprite, the thin black bags you get from vegetable vendors, the variety is endless.

But it seems to work, as women arrive at work or restaurants and their hair has survived in tact.
