EBHA/BOBSA OPEN HOUSE COMES TO

We need to ask ourselves as African Americans a very important question. We need to tell the true story to make us think about what we call "Remy" hair? How did this term come about? Brazilians have nappy hair just like African Americans, but why is "Brazilian NATURAL" so straight? We need to inform African Americans that they have been lied to by the Koreans, that their so-called "Remy" hair even has animal hair in it.
We can tell the story in a timeline that explains the history of this market for the past 50 years including: why the Koreans dominate, after they dominated the market, and then what followed. What information are they hiding? "Brazilian" hair and "Jamaican" hair, where do they really come from? Because of the one- sided brainwashing the Koreans are doing to African Americans, what lies have they given us to believe in as "facts"? And finally, the EBHA will set new standards to tell African Americans what materials we are using, where the materials come from, where they are manufactured, how much they weight, how they are made, and etc. Basically, the EBHA will re-educate us about everything we have been so misinformed about imported hair.

BOBSA/China Trip
During the 10-day stay, we got to visit Beijing, Taihe (the hair factory hub), and Shanghai. We experienced the greatest welcome and hospitality on behalf of BOBSA; however, it is not the nice hotels and fancy meal everyday that impressed me. It was their determination that really moved me. The Beijing and Shanghai part of the trip was mostly the factories. They wanted us to see that China is not all like the small town where the factories are, but my main focus today is about our stay in Taihe where the hair factories are located.
On Oct 25th, after a 3 days' stay in Beijing, I was really excited to finally go to the factories and see how everything is done. We left at 7:30 a.m. in the morning to catch a bullet train, which runs at the speed between 180 - 200 m/h, I knew that the ride would be more than 3 hours, but when we arrived at the train station, and my interpreter told me that there will be another 2 hours' drive. Here is what I have learned in China, the distance might have only been 60 miles, but the crazy traffic and the speed limit itself made the ride so much longer. By the time we got to the town, it was already 3:30 p.m.
Now imagine someone who does not speak any Chinese, who has to ride on public transportation to get to wherever the factories are, and then try to communicate with a major factory to take his/her order in English. I have been told many times by African American store owners that they buy directly from the factories. After being there myself, I realize the logistics are not possible, which is also why our black beauty supply stores are not competitive in this market.
