Today I’m sharing a simple quarantine haircare routine for you. The truth is that for many people, this is the first time they’ve had to manage their own hair in a long time. You’ve probably gotten accustomed to your bi-weekly salon appointment and are wondering where to begin now that we are at home. I’ve seen countless memes of how we will look post-lockdown and I don’t want that for you.

It can work for all hair types and textures. It will also be beneficial for those with relaxed or texlaxed hair.

Below are a few recommendations for products to use in case you don’t have any on hand. Majority of them are Kenyan brands. Now more than ever, we need to support local businesses so I encourage all of you to #BuyKenyaBuildKenya. Some of the mentions will be international brands for those who may not have access to Kenyan products right now. The estimated prices are in brackets (I noticed that there are some hikes in the prices because of Ms.Rona )
