A WOMAN: IN THE EYE OF A MAN – By Counsellor Daniel Fenyi

The biggest mistake of women today is making the man appear the standard of life. They go about insulting themselves with the empty cliché “what men can do, women can do better” as if the measure of a better, is the good a man can do. The day the average woman realises her “full” worth, she will be mightier than the mightiest man.

*In the eye of the man, the woman just knows it.* Very strangely, a husband or son can confidently walk to his wife or mother and ask if she has seen his belt, socks, watch, and even comb, as if he uses them with her. You know why? He thinks a woman just knows it. That’s a woman’s power; in the absence of any idea, the world thinks she knows.

*In the eye of the man, the woman is a weaker vessel.* Yes, naturally, the man is physically stronger, or at least supposed to be, than the woman. This is almost undebatable. However, this perception ends at the physical construction. Most women think men see them as weaker intellectually, professionally and academically hence they live to prove the men wrong. Don’t reduce the whole essence of life to proving someone wrong. If you are good, just live it!

*In the eye of the man, the woman manages the home.* While men pursue various MBA degrees to know management, women naturally grow with management. A woman knows what, when, how and where to put, say or do what. People are paying millions of dollars to learn these in school. Unfortunately, “ignorant feminists” go about telling young women not to “keep” the home but share the duties with their man.

In the eye of the man, a woman’s instinct works like magic.No serious man jokes with the intuition of the woman. When a woman says, “I feel we should…”, the most intelligent man hides his wits. But, only a few women harness this spiritual invaluable gift. And rather walk around deceiving themselves that men don’t respect them.

*In the eye of the man, a woman is a source of joy.* A woman is pleasant to behold. She is the most adorable of all God’s creation and the reason most men are hustling. Man feels very fulfilled when his efforts impress or please the woman. Nothing gets the man swollen-headed than a woman applauding him.

*In the eye of the man, a woman can cause his downfall or success.* The strongest man is extremely careful around the woman. There are many evidences of “mighty” men who fell or have fallen due to their (mis) association with women. Many other men can equally testify that their affiliation with a woman has taken them up to the status they find themselves in life today.

*In the eye of the man, a successful woman is mostly arrogant.* Some men get scared when their partner is rising because they feel she might turn arrogant or proud. This seems partially true, but it’s not a feminine thing. Success naturally makes people sometimes “overly confident” in themselves, which if not tamed, can excalate into pride.

Stephanie Appiah, fondly referred to as Yaa Afrah, is a trendsetter in Ghana’s hair care industry. Her story is one of resilience, innovation, and empowerment, as she turned her personal struggles into a mission to help others embrace their natural hair.

Through her company, “Hairphanie”, Stephanie is reshaping narratives around African hair and inspiring women across the continent to wear their crowns with pride.

Stephanie’s hair journey began with challenges that many African women relate to. As a young girl growing up in Ghana, societal norms dictated that schoolgirls had to cut their hair short.

This stifled her ability to connect with her natural hair and learn how to care for it. After high school, she chose to relax her hair, but the decision came with devastating consequences. Scalp burns, bald patches, and hair damage became a regular part of her life.

“I felt trapped,” Stephanie recalls. “I wanted to love my hair, but I didn’t know how.”

The turning point came in 2015 when Stephanie decided to stop relaxing her hair. Despite the lack of skilled hairdressers and products tailored to natural hair in Ghana, she committed to learning everything she could about caring for her hair.

Stephanie’s dedication to her natural hair journey led her to experiment with organic ingredients, formulating her own products to address the specific needs of her hair. Friends and family soon noticed her hair’s transformation and began asking for her help. What started as a personal endeavor quickly grew into a business.

In 2019, Stephanie officially founded “Hairphanie”, combining her skills as a self-taught hair stylist and organic hair care product manufacturer. The company offers a range of organic products and professional services designed to meet the diverse needs of natural hair.

“Hairphanie’s” mission is clear; to inspire people to embrace their natural hair while providing solutions that exceed expectations.

Stephanie’s impact goes beyond hair care. She is challenging deeply rooted societal norms in Ghana that discourage women from growing and maintaining their natural hair. By sharing her story and expertise, she has inspired countless women to embark on their own natural hair journeys.

One of her most significant contributions is her work in schools, where she advocates for policy changes that allow young girls to grow their natural hair. Stephanie believes that dismantling these restrictions is key to fostering self-acceptance and empowering the next generation.

“Hair is more than aesthetics,” Stephanie explains. “It’s about identity, confidence, and freedom.”

Hairphanie’s vision extends far beyond Ghana. Stephanie aims to make the company the most preferred hair care solutions provider in Africa and beyond. She plans to become a certified trichologist within the next five years, deepening her understanding of hair and scalp health to better serve her clients.

Stephanie is also working on her book, “Breaking the Crown”, The Journey of Yaa Afrah, which will delve deeper into her story and the societal norms she is fighting to change.

Through her resilience and determination, Stephanie Appiah has proven that African hair can grow long, healthy, and beautiful with the right care. Her journey serves as a powerful reminder that beauty standards are meant to be challenged and redefined.

Stephanie’s story is not just about hair it’s about reclaiming identity, embracing individuality, and empowering others to do the same. By encouraging women to wear their natural hair with pride, she is creating a movement that celebrates African heritage and inspires self-love.

For many, Stephanie Appiah is more than an entrepreneur she is a symbol of hope, strength, and transformation. Through “Hairphanie”, she continues to prove that the crown we wear is one of beauty, resilience, and endless possibilities.
