No One Wears Colorful Braids Like Victoria Kimani

Just in case you haven’t heard of Victoria Kimani, she’s undeniably the biggest female music star in Kenya and East Africa as a whole. Kimani’s work is known across the world and while she’s dubbed at the Grammys as ‘Kenya’s best-kept secret’ when it comes to Afropop music, the 35-year-old is a complete hair color chameleon in our eyes. She’s proven to the world that she can pull off just about any colorful braids — no matter how quirky or off-beat it might be.

But the singer’s experimental attitude toward beauty isn’t just for show. Each of her looks — from jumbo to micro braids, short and long bob cut to even Bantu knots all have an incredibly different story. Either she’s advertising her luxury braids line: Kimani Luxury Braids or sending love to fans in a special way. Just like when she wore multicolored braids to hi say to over 730k of her Instagram followers. The Kenyan glamazon looked just like a true Afropop queen in her braids hairstyle when she posted a photo to send greetings to fans, along with a rainbow emoji. “Sending Love 🌈 New colors,” Kimani captioned the post.

However, while Kimani’s looks are always on par with the lifestyle of people in entertainment, especially music — think Yemi Alade, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, or DJ Cuppy, she makes it seem like it’s easy to wear any hair color. So for a prove and inspiration (if you care), let us direct you to this braids hair color junkie that’s keeping her life colorful.
