In another story, Ibrahim Ferekeh, a 23-years-old hairdresser in Aguda, Ogba area, Lagos is one which many can relate to especially the masculine gender, talented in hairstyling, but who at one point got discouraged by the bias in the society.
This is not farfetched, until 1970 hairdressing for females was a woman’s job and when a handful of men ventured into it they were faced with discrimination, a lot of which was expressed in homophobic slurs. Meanwhile, those who continued were considered gay.
Although there has been a paradigm shift in the world when it comes to the right gender for the business, the old stereotype has continued to affect the choice of males entering the hair styling business in the country.
