BBC World News America correspondent Larry Madowo has left Kenyans wagging tongues after he revealed that he used to spend Ksh4100 on a hair cut every week.
The multitalented journalist revealed this showing off his bald shaved head, saying he learnt to shave on his own after Covid-19 hit, thanking the late Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore for advising him to be doing so.
‘See that bald, shiny head? My barber went on vacation for 2 months (in this economy!?) so I learnt to cut my own hair. And saved $40 every week 😎’he tweeted.
Adding,
‘I’ve finally learnt to shave myself almost 10 years after @bobcollymore (RIP) encouraged me to do it like he used to. He said I was wasting money. He would be proud. Turns out that many men cut their own hair and I’m just late to the party!’
