Woman reveals her hair stopped growing after late dad shaved her at age 5
A 28-year-old lady has recounted how her hair stopped growing after her father shaved them off when she was five years old.
Kampire Josepha currently has no hair on her head and she is unable to grow any ever since.
In an interview with Afrimax, Jose disclosed that for many years, her family concluded that her baldness was a result of witchcraft.
According to the young lady’s grandmother simply known as Patricia, her bald headed granddaughter was born normally with hair until it was shaved and never grew back again.
Things took an unfortunate turn after that day and her family knew that something was amiss when the father died immediately after the shaving session.
After the mourning period, they noticed that the little girl’s hair was all gone and her eyebrows were disappearing too. Jose and her mother sought the services of a village doctor who gave them herbs to apply with the promise that the hair would grow back, but it never did.
“We got tired and stopped because it was wasting all the little money we had,” Patricia added.
Not long after, Jose’s mother died too, throwing the family into panic and confusion as they could not fathom what had befallen them.
This was made worse by the fact that the young girl’s legs developed a condition that crippled her after a while.
“She started crawling on the ground like a frog, that is when we rushed her to the hospital,” the grandma recalled.
She undertook treatment at the hospital for four months under the care of her grandmother. It was a timely intervention as her limbs were stabilised and she managed to start walking on the two again, albeit with a limp.
When she became of age, Jose was able to find love and get married, but the union did not last forever as she had hoped. She says that her husband was always teased by friends for marrying a woman who was physically impaired and bald.
After six months of marriage, Jose’s hubby caved in and dumped her, fearing that their children would be born with her condition. With nowhere to go, Jose left her marital home and moved in with her grandparents where she still lives to date.
