Joy Kendi doesn鈥檛 want her hair to define her 鈥 so she shaves her head.
Joy is an influencer in Kenya who鈥檚 known for her personal style 鈥 sometimes she has tight curls, sometimes long braids or a perfect afro.
But she wasn鈥檛 always so confident in her appearance. Growing up in the US, she wanted to look like the other girls around her, and didn鈥檛 know how to take care of her natural hair.
She joins Namulanta in the studio to talk about all things black hair 鈥 the salon experience, the surprising history of cornrows, and why showering with a bald head is the most liberating feeling on the planet.
