• Mama Ida Odinga was seen spotting an African hairstyle that made her look strikingly beautiful, and it is all thanks to a salonist identified as Chaly B

• Netizens praised the final look, with some praising the work done by the young man while others were astonished that the matronly mum of four didn't have a lot of grey hair

Ida, the wife of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga, is spotting a new chic hairstyle, and that is thanks to a Kisumu salonist.

Are there male salonists?

Mama Ida was in the capable hands of a young man who identified himself as Chaly B; he owns a salon in Migori.

The talented salonist braided Ida's hair in a hairstyle that entailed zigzagged cornrows at the front and twisted hair at the back.

Ida is known to be a woman who loves style, and the one she was spotting can be worn during a simple vacation or for high-end business and social engagements.

Once the Kisumu hairstylist had finished braiding her hair, he also sprayed it to give it a good look and make it stay for a long time.

"With Mama Odinga again in Kisumu, lazima akue Nyar Migori (comes from Migori),"captioned the salonist identified as @chalby_044 on TikTok.

Kisii man thriving as hairdresser claims women hit on him

In another story, a male hairdresser in Kisii town said he was inspired to learn the skills by friends who were thriving in the field.

Joel Mariba joined Beauty Point School in Nairobi in 2016 and can now do artificial locs, braids, regular braids, gel extensions and so on.

Among the challenges faced by the talented hairdresser is women hitting on him, seeking to enjoy some of his money, and when he refuses their advances, they send others for the mission.
