now i'll admit i had never thought about how the way i wave my hate could be affecting the environment until i had about a woman in kenya who has found a way out for pacing synthetic hay extensions with a natural material that's beautiful the hay and the environment. at this hairdressing salon in nairobi they use size so for head extensions and braids in a wide variety of colors they are one of the saloon assume took us a bully came up with the idea to use a 5 buzz in head dressing she founded us with braids 2 years ago after kenya had banned single use plastic products until then hex tensions were usually made of plastic and grief. on say so because baby boys may wind rain doesn't. they make him roll in doesn't cut it when being painted size of 5 by extensions are not just eco friendly they also proved to be cheaper

over time the hairdressers here say demand is growing. braiding with size so here is very good because even when my clients and do their hair they still use them but if in 30 care it's only used one is safe and then thrown away the difference is that this text well not to braid and like synthetic hair and it also states know within said the cat i bred very fast sometimes as a boy drives once a week took america almost 400 kilometers west of nairobi to gather size a leaves and process the fibers together with employee as a kill malacca. hair fibers are soaked in alcohol in solution to soften them and then left to dry
