“Asian women may be more concerned about the face and skin, but in Africa girls are more concerned about hair, they have a high demand for this.” Peter, a student from South Sudan, told the Red Star journalist.
 
Currently, Peter is studying business administration at Hefei University of Technology. In addition to his studies, he started a purchase and brought the wigs produced in China back to his country, South Sudan.
 
He told Red Star reporters that women in South Sudan usually spend a lot of money on their hair every month. They often go to the salon to spend on weddings or festivals or even ordinary days.
 
“If a girl goes to the salon every week, she can spend more than $100 a month on her hair. But if they buy one or two wigs, they can save months of spending. For them. Very cost-effective," Peter said.
 
Peter came to China in September 2011 and started purchasing wigs last summer. “At first, there were friends who wanted to buy Chinese wigs through me. I know the Chinese market, so I will help them to buy.”
 
Initially, Peter went to the market for a field trip, but now he is buying wigs from a supplier from Yiwu, Zhejiang. On April 24, Peter revealed to the Red Star reporter that April has not ended. His net profit this month has already been about 1200-1600 US dollars (about RMB 8065-9408).
 
When asked if African consumers have the ability to afford wigs, Peter said, “70% of people who buy wigs are office workers, they can afford it. The quality of wigs is good and the price is no longer a problem.”
