- Hair & Clothing
In the U.S., getting one’s hair braided costs an average $100 in a city like New York where there are many African hair braiders and about $200 in cities elsewhere. In Accra, it costs, on average, $8.
Clothing or getting cloths sewn is another area that favors Africans on the continent. It costs about $100 to get a skirt and top made in a city like New York, and on average $10, in places in Accra.
Moreover, for both hair and clothing, many styles originate from the continent, thereby giving many knowledge of and access to style and fashion innovations before they break on the international stage.
