Styling fellow Blogger - Berry Dakara!


So today I was visited by Berry Dakara fellow natural hair enthusiast and blogger. Berry recently had her exceptional and absolutely GORGEOUS wedding story and pictures featured on Bellanaija (click here) and it was a truly enjoyable experience working with her and her lovely mane of hair!

Her objective was to get a blow dry and trim but after blow drying her hair and working my fingers through those locks, there was no way I was going to let her step out of the salon without doing something simple yet elegant for her.


 Upon undoing the flat twists she came into the salon with, the most delicious smells wafted up to me from her hair and I had to ask her what she had in and it was an African Naturalista product (I'm definitely going to check out their products).

So after prepping her hair with a heat protectant spray, and oil for sheen, I blow dried her hair semi straight with a paddle brush, finished up with a cool shot to seal her cuticles and then left them in chunky twists to keep the hair straight.




Decided on a classy up do and after sectioning her hair into 4 parts, I pinned everything up into this gorgeous 'do!


She was happy, I was happy, so it was definitely a great start to my usually busy and back breaking Saturdays!

  4. I am in love with this hairstyle! So sad that mine hair is not yet long like hers. I hope to visit your salon someday as my hair needs to be "flogged" so it can respond accordingly. lol
