NAIJA HAIR CAN GROW

Hiya Ladies!!
Savvy Chic Hair Beauty Hub has a new home!! For those who have been on this journey with me since 2013, you would know that this is the 3rd time I am getting a space for my hair hub and let me just tell you that this is the most stressful and I dare say most expensive move thus far...I am hoping it will be the last move for a very long time except I am opening another branch...

I gave myself just 2 weeks and even if it meant profuse sweating and even tears, the hub needed to be ready by the 4th of March, this move took a lot out of me but I thank God for His strength, we pulled through and made things work!!

Our new address is Suite 12, Ikeja Way, Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi... Lagos!!

Without much ado, here are before and after pictures-

AFTER-

I also decided to add to the hub a SMOOTHIE BAR!! Who doesn't love a nice cold glass of fresh fruits deliciously blended together which are packed with vitamins and antioxidants great for the body and the hair which is our focus!!

Hiya Ladies,
This past weekend was so much fun at the Savvy Chic hair beauty hub. We had a blast hosting Nigerian hair care brand KUI CARE.

Below are pictures and excerpts of Majiri Otobo's( CEO KUI CARE) session with us.

On Going Natural...

She went natural a few years ago after working in a manufacturing plant and being asked by her supervisors to take out the weaves she was wearing as a safety precaution. She tried to explain to them her need for a weave and soon realized how absurd her heavy dependence on weaves was and decided to go natural.

On starting a Hair care brand
Since she was sixteen years old she always wanted to own a business, after working as a chemical engineer for years at a production plant, she was inspired first to create makeup suited for black skin tones but soon turned her attention to products for natural hair. She came back to Nigeria and decided to incorporate a company which birth her brand KUI CARE.

On the Journey from incorporation to certification to retail- This was a long tedious and painstaking journey. To get NAFDAC certified, she had to incorporate her company first, finding a name that got approved was a challenge until a friend told her to just pick a number!! She picked the year 1988 as her company name and voila, it was approved. Her brand name has a little more meaning though....KUI means STAR in ijaw language and so KUICARE essentially is a brand that brings out the star in you :)

NAFDAC had it's own hurdles, she said she visited their offices over 40 times!! She had to be very humble and patient making sure to have extra photocopies of all her documents each time she went. Making sure to greet everyone kindly and pretty much suck up to get what she wanted.

KUICARE is made in Nigeria through and through!! From the products to the containers...she narrated how she had to deal with omoniles tasking her trucks which conveyed her empty containers to which she exclaimed they are EMPTY!! Nothing of value to you please!!

On her target...
When she started, she wanted to have about 15 products in her range but she decided to narrow it down to the absolute essentials...shampoo, conditioner, hair mist and hair cream so that customers could start then finish a wash day with ease using her products. She also targets average income earners so her products are affordable with nothing retailing more than N1500. This is so that people can see her product as an alternative to the imported natural hair products...as quality is not compromised.

On Challenges...she has faced a few, some raw materials like the tea tree oil and cinnamon are imported and the currency crisis has had it's effect on the business. Getting the right team has also been a challenge she has had to navigate through....I love what she said here...she said she doesn't pay herself a salary and put in all her energy working on the brand, marketing etc. when her staff drop the ball and she has to pick up from them she is essentially working FOR them and of course that cannot happen...it was based on that she let go of one of her staff.

On Branding...
She was very deliberate about choosing the fluorescent green her bottles are made of. She made a logo in teal green which signifies the spa like relaxing essence of her brand and put it on different bottle colors until she picked the show stopper green. She also was deliberate about her brand ambassador, an upcoming male musician Ycee....she wanted to peak curiousity by picking him and so far it seems to have worked.

Majiri's Tips for Entrepreneurs
* Just Start....for three years she was working behind the scenes on her brand concept, marketing etc even before NAFDAC registration.

* Use your connections...it's easier to forge ahead if you make connections with the right people in your industry and use it to your advantage.

* Grind hard!! No one knows your brand like you do, believe in it enough to talk about it to any and every person.

* Get the huge obligations out if the way....NAFDAC registration is inevitable so be tenacious and focus on that....if in other fields, make sure you make compliance to necessary regulations a priority.

Next up we had live demos using the products, our hair models Deola and Tomiwa were awesome...

I thoroughly enjoyed the party- we ended the evening with socializing and chatting with fellow bloggers and Hairlistas.

Thank you so much to all who came and I look forward to another sample party with another proudly Nigerian brand.

You can purchase Kuicare from Ebeano Supermarket stores, Hubmart, Shoppers Delight and of course the Savvy Chic Hair Beauty Hub.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello ladies,
For sometime I have been promising to make a few announcements and I am so glad I can finally make this one!!!

I have formulated a Comb Systems...as I choose to call it!!

Here's how it came about earlier in the year, my mum was at my house and we were getting ready for bed, she watched me as I meticulously detangled my hair and styled it for bed and commented that I had been so systematic about the entire process in a teasing way to which I responded 'Mummy don't you know there is a system to combing hair? You can't just rake through your hair anyhow!!'. I had a light bulb moment right then and decided that I'd come out with a step by step combing system that will work great for ALL hair types!! Of course that meant I needed combs...

I sourced around and found a great company in the USA willing to work with me, I wanted to go the China route but quality was top priority on my list and the U.S company was not going to compromise on that, the materials used all top grade down to the precision cut teeth are made to ensure your hair doesn't get snagged or tangled in the process and as little as possible hair breakage occurs!!

Each comb comes with a small pamphlet attached to the pack which has a step by step pictorial guide on how to use it for best results, you can choose to simply keep the pamphlet for future reference when you purchase the comb. If you purchase the entire set, you get an E-manual which is a video of me showing you how the combs are used and an additional bonus clip with 20 top tips to growing long and healthy hair!!

Without much ado, it's my pleasure to introduce you to my 4 Step Comb Systems-

Step 1- The Ultimate Grow Scalp Massager-

Every hair journeyer NEEDS one!!
Use this massager for optimum blood circulation to the scalp and hair follicles, this scalp massager is a MUST HAVE if your edges and nape hairs are thinning or you are developing a balding spot!! The more blood circulates in your scalp, the more nutrients it gets and the more impurities are flushed out leading to hair growth in the area. Scalp massages have also been proven to increase serotonin levels which help relief headaches and pain. The pamphlet has directions on how to use this massager for optimal results.

Price- N800

Step 2- The Tangle Ease Detangler Comb

Once you are done massaging your scalp, the next step is to detangle your hair and for this you need a comb with wide precision teeth,clean cut so there's no chance for snags, a firm anti slip grip so the comb doesn't keep falling from your hand due to your slippery hands caused by using hair oils and cremes and a comb that is anti- static and prevents frizz. This comb does all that!! The pamphlet guides on how to systematically detangle the hair without causing breakage.

Price- N600

Step 3- The Smooth and Glide Bristle Brush

When detangling is done, the next step is smoothing out and this brush will ensure that each strand is smooth out without being too harsh on the hair and scalp. I especially love this brush because of its size,very makeup bag friendly, just plop it in your everyday bag to use on the go and it fits!! There's a different technique to using this particular brush though that leaves close to zero of my hair in the brush bristles, I share that technique in the pamphlet.

Price- N800

Step 4- The 2in1 Edge Slick & Tame/Coil Comb

This is my favorite comb because for a while I have been looking for a comb that was small enough to lay the tiny hairs in front and could tame my edges besides an old dirty looking tooth brush!! I mean tooth brushes got the job done but how inappropriate is it and down right funny for an old hair infested tooth brush to fall out of your bag on say a date with a guy you've been crushing on for a while!LOL...those kind of thoughts crossed my mind a lot when I carried my hair tooth brush around until I didn't and just left my edges alone but lately with this edge slick comb I get so many compliments for my laid edges, bumped into Toke Makinwa yesterday at an event and she even noticed my edges!LOL!! The attached pamphlet shows how you can use this comb to lay your edges ladies.

It also has the added bonus of being a coil comb for Naturalistas who know how to finger coil and those who have locs or starter locs,this comb will loc your new growth with ease as it has a great tail for precision sectioning and teeth for gentle locing!!

Price- N650

Discount Price when you purchase the full Set in my Comb System- N2500

Independence Day FREE SHIPPING!!!!
All orders made from this link-HERE from now to 12 midnight on Saturday the 1st of October which have been ordered and pid for via bank transfer shall be shipped to you where ever you are in Nigeria for FREE OF CHARGE when you purchase the FULL COMB SYSTEM for N2500!!!! That's all you pay!!!
Remember that when you purchase the full system you get a visual E-manual showing you how to use them plus bonus hair growth tips you get to keep forever!!

I'd like to specially thank all those who left kind comments on Instagram when I made the announcement today, it's all of your support that has kept me going.

I look forward to your orders and feed back!!
