Irene Myangoh, a personal assistant at a law firm in Nairobi, Kenya, paid a salon for the hair piece which doctors believe may have come from a corpse.
After two weeks, she started suffering from severe headaches which painkillers did little to ease
When blood tests and a brain scan also came back negative, she went back to her doctor who examined her scalp and reportedly found maggots eating into her skull.
The doctor said the maggots had likely hatched from eggs contained in the hair which she believed came from a dead body, it was reported by iReportersTV.
No further details were given about the maggots and the doctor could not be reached for comment by the station.
The manager of the salon said she had fitted ten weaves from the package where Miss Myangoh's came from, adding that she had sold 150 pieces from the entire batch in less than two months.
The woman, who did not want to be named, said
: 'I am shocked to hear this because this is the first time such a thing is happening to my clients.I will get more information from my supplier because we import these weaves from the UK, USA and India.'She said the supplier may have sent her rejects from a factory and promised to compensate Miss Myangoh, who had to shave her hair and take antibiotics for two weeks after her ordeal.
Dr CK Musau, a surgeon at Nairobi hospital, told iReportersTV that he had dealt with ten similar cases in the last six months.
He added: '
It is unfortunate how the West has influenced Kenyan youth, especially ladies.They should stick to their natural African beauty as opposed to trying to ape what they see.'Dailymail

ReplyDeleteCan u see this fool's forensic analysis that was meant 2 fault the authenticity of this story? Whoever u r that left this lame comment here; U r a typical village headmaster, who doesn't knw any other TV apart from those 1950's wooden-box standing black & white TV with a sliding door on d screen. How would a modern man that u claim 2 b, b relating d picture on d blog 2 d story it carries? r u that daft not 2 know that the picture could come from any source & could b used on any hair related issue? U r simply a gbovoo o! People like u will watch CNN & come out in their village square to argue convincingly that they saw Ghadafi on CNN & that he's still alive...& that they saw when he was coming down from a plane & waving at a cheering crowd. when in d actual sense, it was jst a documentary on d poor tyrant's life with video footages taken during some of the events in his life. Ur kind of ignorance is d reason why Nigeria is still considered a 3rd world country. Learn 2 think in 3D Mr Forensic Engineer! #Jenny#
DeleteFinally. Someone, that is just like me. Oh jenny chocolate, flesh of me flesh, rib of my ribs Marry me. I love your comment.
DeleteMr anonymous
This is a lame attempt by jobless fools to discourage women from wearing weaves. How can they sell weaves direct from the head of a dead person without treating it with chemicals? Doesn't the weave have a weft already? Story
ReplyDeleteThats right truth, take to the streets protesting bout the discouragement of women wearing flimsy weave ons while your east african counterparts take to the streets protesting the gang rape of a sixteen year old girl. You have done well truth!!
