Darling Nigeria, a leading manufacturer of hair extension products in Nigeria and an advocate for beauty and the transformation of the African woman, in partnership with Kanekalon and the National Association of Hairstylists & Cosmetologists (NASHCO), has announced the winner of the first-of-its-kind national braiding competition in Nigeria.
The braiding competition spanned multiple cities across Nigeria—Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Rivers, and Lagos States—with the grand finale also in Lagos.
Fourteen contestants representing major states in Nigeria battled it out for first place in a pageant-style presentation where each contestant showcased their intricate and creative hairstyles.
After a series of intense competitions, the judging panel, consisting of industry experts, unanimously selected Ms. Aina Silifat, a hairstylist representing Ogun State, as the winner of the braiding competition.
Ms Aina Silifat is set to receive a cash prize and an opportunity to collaborate with renowned hair professionals.
Speaking about the competition, the president of the National Association of Hairstylists and Cosmetologists (NASHCO), Mrs Angela Akanle, expressed her delight in witnessing the exceptional talent and passion displayed by all participants.
She stated, “The braiding competition is a platform to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria and highlight the extraordinary skill of our local hairstylists.
We are immensely proud of all the participants and extend our heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Aina Silifat for her exceptional show of creativity and achievement.”.
A representative of Darling Nigeria also said that the company remains committed to inspiring creativity, helping African women #FindYourBeautiful, and supporting the growth of hairstylists and the hairstyling community in Nigeria.
Their partnership with Kanekalon and NASHCO for the braiding competition exemplifies this commitment, she said.
