We do your hair and raise your children well

.../> Nairobi great place to get hair done: Clinton 2 hrs 44 mins agoNAIROBI (AFP) – US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday gave a ringing endorsement to one feature of the Kenyan capital Nairobi -- its hairdressers.

As she launched an 11-day tour of Africa, Clinton noted -- and not with pleasure -- that Americans have long paid close attention to how she wears her hair.

"My hairdoes have been the subject of Ph.D. theses, so I want everybody to know that I got a good one in Nairobi," Clinton said in an aside to an economic forum involving some 40 African countries.

Besides doing a commendable job on her hair, Clinton said that the two local hairstylists offered insight about Nairobi.

"They said it's a wonderful place and a great place to raise children," Clinton said.

Clinton -- one of the most powerful women in US political history who narrowly lost the 2008 presidential bid -- had a serious point to her comments.

She said she wanted mothers in cities around the world to "say truthfully it's a great place to raise children."

Clinton, who has also been a US senator and first lady, plans to highlight the plight of women during her seven-nation tour of Africa.

She will travel to the violence-wracked east of the Democratic Republic of Congo to meet with survivors of soaring sexual violence.
