After seeing how lucrative the hair business was, Obaapa Afriyie said she decided to grow it into a successful venture.

"I started my hair business with GH₵120. I went to this hair shop to buy four bundles of hair for a full head, GH₵120, and so when I went home, I took a picture and posted it on Facebook. A lady from Accra saw it and said that she wanted it and so I sent it to her. So I posted another and on that very day, I made a profit of GH₵40 each from the three sales, and the next day, I went to buy three more hair. I wasn't spending my profit," she said.
