By Winnie The Fashionista | Oct 05, 2018

It was all fro’s and flair at the most recent instalment of the Hairitage Chronicles in Nairobi, Kenya. Naturalistas from all walks of life went in droves to be part of this amazing event.

The place: Ngong Race Course

The date: 8th September 2018

This event’s originator is Nurtured Knotts which is an Instagram page dedicated to celebrating Afro hair in all forms. Nurtured Knotts has collaborated with various brands over the years to create this much-anticipated event.

The event has been gaining traction since its inception in November 2016, eliciting loads of excitement from the natural hair community in Kenya. All roads led to Ngong Racecourse for a day of mingling, marvelling and shopping.

The theme was Lesso/Khanga which is a light East African cotton fabric printed with coloured designs, used mainly for women’s clothing. So it was lesso galore as everyone put their best foot (and fro) forward for the event. Lights, camera, fashion!

You’d see all kinds of hairstyles; long, short, braided, twisted, locs, dyed, TWA, turbans…You name it. Not one strand out of place! Slicked down edges, colour, charisma and majestic fro’s ruled the day.

There was something for everyone. The tiny tots were not left behind as they ran about gleefully in their Lesso attire.

A slew of hair and beauty brands set up shop, showcasing their products and conducting live demos to an enthusiastic crowd while the DJ treated the attendees to head-bopping music. You would be spoilt for choice since there was also a selection of fashion items, crafts and all the best things that Kenya has to offer.

You were also sure to meet some of your favourite natural hair bloggers/vloggers from social media, who were participating in the event, meeting their fans while sharing natural hair tips.

If you’re in Kenya, look out for the next Hairitage Chronicles!
