When it comes to haircare in Kenya, the debate between going natural or sticking with relaxers is still going strong. Whether you’re in the humid coast, dry upcountry, or dusty Nairobi, what works for your hair depends on your lifestyle, hair goals, and—most importantly—your hair health.
The Case for Natural Oils 🌿
Natural oils like coconut, castor, and avocado oil are game-changers. They nourish your scalp, reduce breakage, and keep your hair moisturized—especially in Kenya’s hot and dry climates. They’re also perfect for kids and people avoiding chemicals.
Best for:
✔ Natural hair maintenance
✔ Scalp health
✔ Protective styling (braids, twists, cornrows)
The Case for Relaxers 💁🏾♀️
Relaxers are ideal if you’re looking for low-maintenance straight hair that’s easy to comb, style, and manage. But in our sunny climate, relaxed hair needs extra TLC—deep conditioning, leave-ins, and good protection from heat and dust.
Best for:
✔ Busy lifestyles
✔ Sleek styles
✔ Easier detangling
So…Which One Wins?
It depends on you. If you love the versatility and are ready to commit to care, natural oils are your friend. If you want ease and manageability with a polished look, relaxers still work—as long as you moisturize often.
