Hair Color Simulation






P. 1)
March 4, 2009, arrival at Ouagadougou airport in the afternoon. Djibril, beckons me after having deciphered cardboard that I tend to overreach! It is a tall man, very smiley, contact is made very quickly. We exchange news about his nephew, living in Paris, I know first trip to Burkina ago over fifteen years ... we come home, he rented a villa, located 5 km from the downtown but we are still in the urban fabric, Ouagadougou being extended over tens of kilometers ... Djibril found, for my first two nights in the capital, an empty house next to hers, their house being too small to accommodate me; a double bed and a bathroom with running water! That modest but awesome. It is very hot, the house belongs to the owner of his house is not rented, there would be work to do ...












The day ends Fespaco, the African film festival and has held every two years in Ouagadougou, I have very little time to smell the atmosphere of As far as I'm also starting to prepare my Sindou, a large village located 500 km west Ouagadougou where another family waiting for me. Friend understood my curiosity Fespaco and offers me to take me there. Djibril do not go out much at night he works on his records, he is a veterinarian and has created his NGO for distributing pharmaceutical products and advice to farmers and local agriculture.
It straddles, Ami and me, a motorcycle and "we stood in line," but there are more seats, we run into another room but the film, "Fire Morange" We are disappointed, many themes together and dialogue hollow ... we comfort with a drink in a tent, Ami told me what did not go cinema for eleven years! It is already confidences among women, and are fun questions that we ask tomorrow's children!
She leaves very little, she was surprised to have changed his life since her marriage, she went much, knew the bars of the capital. She was born into a wealthy family and married only after 30 years, she admits she was very blessed with her and she did not want to leave the comfort.

















During the day, Ami had unearthed for me a place in a small bus leaving for Sindou, chartered by an association of women from this village and that there were going to celebrate the International Women's Day, March 8.

Departure for Sindou March 6th, two days after my arrival in Burkina Faso. Are stacked luggage, you sweat miles long, women have fun with my astonishment, I was pampered! These women live in Ouagadougou, they have for the most part, a job or a husband who works and some, including the President, Aceytou have established their trade in fashion clothing or cosmetics ... apparently successfully. I learn that two of them go regularly in the neighboring countries, Mercedes (new!) Up to Dakar sometimes to find new products that try their clients. Apparently, it is a solidarity group that relies on family and cultural ties in addition to ethnic solidarity. They speak Diula them. In Burkina Faso, there are 4 main ethnic groups and languages, the Duilas, the Mossi, the Fulani and Senufo ...
They asked for me to take my little digital camera, in their most beautiful clothing feast day of the woman requires.
