Well, Coronovirus-Inspired Hairstyle Is Actually A Thing Right Now

Apparently, in Kibera, the biggest slum of Kenya, a Coronavirus-inspired hairstyle has become a thing amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

With fewer clients and their businesses collapsing, Kibera-based hairstylists had to be creative and come up with methods to save their income. And with the COVID-pandemic looming over the world, some stylists found for them inspiration for a new hairstyle. With it, the hair of the customer will be shaped to look just like the deadly virus that causes COVID-19. And it isn’t only about the design but it is also about its price. The new hairstyle costs less than other popular styles at less than $1. So for cash-trapped clients, this is an attractive option.

One Kibera mother said that this hairstyle was more affordable for people like her who couldn’t afford to pay for more expensive hairstyles for their kids.

For the spiky look, the hair is parted into around a dozen sections. These parts are then twisted and wrapped with thick black yarn rather than synthetic hair braids. That is why the price of the hairstyle is more pleasant. The end of each part resembles the protein spikes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

While other popular hairstyles in Kibera cost around $3 to $5, this Coronavirus-inspired hairstyle is only $0.5. The added bonus is that it can spread awareness about the virus causing the pandemic.
