Natural in Nigeria

Yes. My natural hair journey started after high school. I attended a high where the hair style was low cut. After that I decided to let it grow, also what motivated me was my mum, she has always been on natural hair since when I was little till date .she has never used any extension on her hair. After 2 years I cut it short again when I applied a dye on my hair that causes hair breakage ,so I cut off the weak parts.

- No, the natural hair movement in my area is driven by the influencers we have here in Nigeria, for example: some of the female Nollywood actors started the natural hair look which in them attracted and made a lot of young girls to appreciate, nurture and value their hair. Which boosted the acceptance of having to take quality care of our hair by getting the right hair products, the influencers we have here serve as Role models to us.
