BANANA BRAIDS

A Solution to Sustainable Beauty

Nyamira, Kenya

What if your next hairstyle could help save the planet? In Nyamira County-Kenya, some innovators are turning heads-and banana fibers-into a stunning new trend: banana braids.

This eco-friendly alternative to synthetic braiding hair is made from the fibers of banana plants, a resource that’s both renewable and abundant. Not only do banana braids look fabulous, but they also reduce plastic waste and provide new income opportunities for local communities.

Sustainable beauty has never looked so good! By choosing banana braids, you’re not just making a style statement-you’re supporting innovation, empowering artisans, and helping the environment.
