"The wise do not comb themselves; if they do, they get hurt." Ugandan proverb
A woman is having her hair styled. As it will take several hours, she makes herself comfortable, along with her daughter. Women in Mali have a sophisticated sense of fashion, particularly in terms of their clothes and hairstyles. The cheapest place to have their hair done is in the open-air market, where a large, covered shed is devoted to this trade.
