You get what you pay for

I got my first African haircut today. Lets just say that it was an experience. I dont know if you know this or not but "black people" hair is just much more different than "white people" hair. With that in mind, you can easily conclude that my barber didnt really know what to do with my hair today. He did try his best though. But you really do get what you pay for. When I told my Senegalese family that I pay about 10,000 CFA for a haircut in the States they almost died. I only paid 300 CFA. That rounds out to be about 63 cents. The benefit from this experience is that its much more cooler on my head now that I dont have any hair.
