Losing your hair? Muli will see you now

Muli Musyoka is a trichologist. That’s a specialist in hair and scalp. He grew up in Machakos, thought he’d end up as a professional footballer but ended up collecting garbage before finding himself in Nairobi as a hairdresser and later at Haco Tiger Brands Ltd to find out more about hair.

Last year, he was named one of the Top 40 Under 40 men by this newspaper. He turns 30 this year. I watched him run a trichoscope on a lady’s scalp at his clinic along Ngong Road, which magnifies hair follicles about 700 times and beams it on a laptop. (Hair looks ghastly when magnified).
