Home hairdressing

Our Happy House girls usually go out to have their hair braided using the braiding services offered by many local women in in their "salons". These women are able to some very elaborate weaves, but our girls have straightforward styles suitable for school. The children going out together, in small groups, is good for them and also the minimal costs are a way of supporting local enterprise - which the Happy House does in so many ways. But for now, we are in lockdown because of Covid19, and movements are restricted to within the Happy House boundaries. Luckily our older girls are able to braid and on hairwashing day, they set up their own salon for the others as Rehema tells us.
