Whenever we talk about lucrative businesses in Ghana, the hair business does not make it to the top of the list. In my own small survey, I performed, out of the 10 people I asked none of them mentioned the hair business as a lucrative business in Ghana.

But after selective consultation with some of the hair businesses in Ghana who prefers their names should be kept anonymous, the hair business is one of the biggest lucrative business you could ever venture into in Ghana.

Have you ever thought of how many times the ladies visit the hair salon to get their hair done? Also, have you realized that over 80% of the women who visit the hair salons go there to get their hair done with a wig?

If you have observed this, then you can agree with the hair business owners in Ghana that this business is very profitable. As Easter is drawing near, almost every lady will like to get their hair done and this is one of the most profitable seasons in the hair business.

What is a Hair Business?

Hair business is the act of selling either human or artificial hair, with or without other products. Simply put, any business that sells hair and its related products is referred to as a hair business.

So you can clearly see that the hair business is not just the selling of hair as most Ghanaians think. But, it also involves the selling of hair-related products in addition to the hair.  Some of the hair-related products include shampoo, conditioners, wig caps, etc.
