Kenyan celebrities have always been known for setting conspicuous trends, more so, in the last few years as seen in the showbiz industry.

Apart from the now boring and jaded cross-dressing stunts by the likes of Eric Omondi, the self-proclaimed President of Comedy and Artists’ rights activist, and relationship breakups by the young and the few rudderless.

Over the past few years, one trend that has caught on,  shaving your head bald.

Don’t believe me? Take a look at some of Kenya’s biggest celebrities who have embraced the bald look.
