Ida Odinga’s Hairdresser Reveals How Much She Paid to Have Her Hair Braided.
Ida Odinga, the wife of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, has previously attracted public attention for her stylish hairstyles, which have sparked conversations among Kenyans on social media.
In April 2024, a hairstylist identified as Chaly B shared photos of Ida after braiding her hair in a distinctive style featuring cornrows at the front and short braids at the back, finished with twisted ends. The hairstyle attracted attention online, with several social media users praising the stylist’s work.
According to a report by TUKO, the hairstylist operates a salon in Migori and showcased his skills while working on Ida’s hair. The transformation also sparked discussions about the growing visibility of male hairstylists in Kenya’s beauty industry.
Ida’s hairstyle highlighted the importance many Kenyans place on personal grooming, with social media users sharing their opinions on the finished look and the skills required to achieve such a style.
However, the exact amount Ida paid for the braiding service could not be independently verified from the available report. It would therefore be misleading to state a specific figure without confirmation from the hairstylist or another reliable source.
The discussion comes at a time when hairdressing continues to provide employment and business opportunities for many young Kenyans. From traditional salons to mobile hairstyling services, professionals increasingly use social media platforms to showcase their work, attract customers and promote their businesses.
For hairstylists, working with prominent personalities can also increase their visibility and introduce their services to a wider audience.
Although the cost of Ida’s hairstyle remains unconfirmed, the attention surrounding her look demonstrates how a single hairstyle can generate public interest and shine a spotlight on the professionals behind it.
The incident also highlights the role social media plays in promoting local beauty businesses, allowing hairstylists to reach potential clients beyond their immediate communities.
Further information from the hairstylist would be necessary to establish the exact amount he charged for the service and confirm the circumstances surrounding the payment.
Until that information becomes available, the reported hairstyle remains a point of interest for Kenyans curious about the beauty routines and personal styling choices of prominent public figures.
