Every Era Has Its Own Hairstyle And Coronavirus Age Is No Exception

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Apparently, the hairstyle is pretty affordable, which is nice in these financially austere times. One mom said, 50 Kenyan shillings is a good price for a hairstyle that also helps raise public awareness. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
