Kenya, beautiful girl on Rusinga Island, Lake Victoria
Portrait of a beautiful girl with lovely hairstyle on Rusinga Island, Lake Victoria.
The dominating tribe around Lake Victoria is the Luo tribe, and the majority are Christians. Compared to the rest of Kenya the Luo people are very poor and they cannot afford expensive hairstyles for their children. However, once per year right before Christmas the girls of the Luo tribe are creating a new hairstyle with beautiful hair extensions. Sometimes they combine the hair extensions even with colorful beads and ribbons. All the Luo girls would like to be pretty and beautiful for Christmas, the most important holiday of the year, and the whole family is helping them.
