The ambience was fun yet educational, and
attendees were given the opportunity to relax, mingle, shop, but most
importantly, learn, before heading off with a generous goody bag.
It was the fifth anniversary of Kinky Apothecary
where it launched the Nigerian Natural Hair & Beauty Show at the Federal
Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos. It was a culmination of all their
workshops and events over the prior years.
There was an exhibition featuring The Kinky
Apothecary’s pop-up shop where guests were able to browse and purchase hair
products and accessories. Also, brands showcased their wares, ranging from body
products such as R and R Luxury and Ajali, to florists Prime Flowers and
Horticulture, who keyed in to the healthy lifestyle aspect of the event by
providing fresh vegetables in addition to flowers, candles and home wares. Some
new Nigerian brands such as Uwa Earth Foods and Bubble Tii Nigeria chose the
event as an opportunity to launch.
