O'Naturals and You Makeovers!

Yes o! The natural or nappy way is now the ‘way’ for many women to carry their hair these days. So many have joined the revolution of saying no to chemically treated hair, even I have been caught in the divide as my husband is also championing the cause. But I guess there is the issue of being able to vary the styles that can be done on natural hair as you would with relaxed hair and then the more serious challenge, ‘can I wear my natural hair on my wedding day?’ I have one or two friends who when it came to their wedding day, chose to relax their natural hair (you know yourselves).  

Well, be challenged no more I say! We now have natural hair stylists to help you make the most of your curly locks whether long or short for your big day. The photos below are proof of the fact.

 The hair styling was done by O’Naturals Natural Hair Salon, which is being managed by a good friend of mine (we met while we were still working in the Investment Banking Industry, but we have since taken up the banner of entrepreneurship!), while the makeup was done by yours truly.

 Apart from being your one stop shop for natural hair care, they also sell natural hair care products as well as natural body care products such as pure shea butter, pure cocoa butter, pure shea butter with fragrance, refined pure jojoba oil, coconut oil, castor oil, cocomint hair spray (mixture of coconut oil, jojoba oil and peppermint), cocoa-shea (mixture of shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil and jojoba oil), to name a few.

They do braids, two-strand twists, flat twists, cornrows, roller sets, straw curls, they can cut/trim and can even color your nappy locks! You can also get a manicure and/or pedicure done while your hair is being catered to.

 You can read up how to get your natural tresses ready for your big day by grabbing a copy of the latest Wedding Planner magazine, and also get a glimpse of our featured photos while you are at it.
