Hair braiding is popular with a lot of tourists that visit the Pacific, and it is a fun way to show those back home that you’ve been on tropical holiday. Depending on the thickness, and length of your hair, it takes about an hour and you can get it done some days at the larger resorts, or at the local markets. The price varies, but usually a head of hair costs around $10 to $15. A jaunty couple of strands takes little time and look pretty cool.
