Nairobi, Kenya: Irene Myangoh, a personal
assistant working at a law firm in Nairobi went to
an upmarket hair salon along Kenyatta Avenue, and
spent more than N5,500 on a human hair weave.
Two weeks later she started suffering from severe
headache that would not go away. She would wake
up with severe headache at night.
She went to a private doctor who gave her drugs for
the relief of mild to moderate pain of inflammatory
origin with or without fever; they would only work
for a few hours and then the headache would be
back worse than even before.
Desperate, she went to see a specialist who did
blood tests and even a brain scan. All the tests
were negative but the headache persisted, making
her unable to concentrate at work and sleeping very
poorly.
She went back to her doctor who decided to
examine her scalp and under the beautiful weave
he found worms!
The worms were burrowing into her skull and after
sending the samples to the lab they found that the
hair had eggs from which the worms had hatched.
The doctor told her that the hair was probably from
a corpse because those worms are usually found
on dead bodies. Efforts to reach her doctor for
further comments were fruitless for he was said to
be out of the country.
The manager of the salon where Irene got the hair
product was traumatised and said they had fitted
ten weaves from the package already, adding that
the particular batch of hair had sold very fast; in
less than a month, she had sold over 150 pieces.
“I am shocked to hear this because this is the first
time such a thing is happening to my clients. I will
get more information from my supplier because we
import these weaves from the UK, USA and India,”
says the salon manager who did not want to be
mentioned.
She continued to say: “Maybe, the supplier sent us
rejects from the factory or weaves that had
overstayed in the stores but I promise to follow up
on the matter and compensate Irene.”
Irene had to shave after this ordeal and took
antibiotics for two weeks.
Dr CK Musau, a surgeon at Nairobi hospital says
that he has dealt with more than ten cases of the
same in a period of six months.
He further urges ladies to be very careful with what
they put on their heads, and adds that it is better to
appreciate natural beauty and be content with what
God has blessed them instead of chasing artificial
beauty.
“It is unfortunate how the West has influenced
Kenyan youth; especially ladies. They should stick
to their natural African beauty as opposed to trying
to ape what they see,” says Musau.
Dr Musau reiterated that the youth must keep in
mind that of late, Kenyans can sell anything: from
body parts to human beings to used coffins and
now even weaves that seem to come from corpses.
Elsewhere, 16-year-old girl from Buruburu, a
Nairobi surburb, also suffered the same fate but
unfortunately for her she died. Cobweb eggs were
found in her hair after she died.
There was a profound cobweb design in her weaved
hair. She dropped dead after constant headaches.
The root cause? The weave had unnoticed spider
eggs. The warmth produced after weaving provided
a very conducive environment for the eggs to hatch.
A spider grew in her scalp and bit her. The poison
found its way to her blood. She could not survive
the attack.
