[dropcap custom_class=”normal”] Natural hair has gotten a lot of hype in recent times and some people just can’t understand why everybody is all psyched about it. Let me just say it’s a common misconception that going natural is a new thing.
You see, natural hair has been a very significant part of our African heritage since time immemorial. I mean, there was no relaxer in existence all those time and our ancestors got their hair going fine and happy. But maybe not so happy sha (means: though), if you think of the stress involved in working the kinks in the hair.
If you’re thinking_ ‘common Nike, that’s far-fetched now’_ OK, let’s move a little closer to present times, I’m sure you definitely agree there are people whose religion prohibits them from get their hair relaxed right? And still they keep their hair well and even sometimes fashionably.
What am I driving at? Fear Not!!! [/dropcap] Continue reading
[dropcap custom_class=”normal”] Fashion in Nigeria is gaining more traction than ever. The everyday outing is no longer taken as before.
Now both women & men go the extra mile to look fashionable. Even children are being encouraged to show their fashion prowess at an early age.
As the need to be fashionable increases, so have the designers and stylists increased their creative use of local fabrics.
The Ankara fabric has been the one receiving more attention. Although more designers are beginning to shift to the Yoruba Aso Oke fabric. The African Fashion Week Nigeria (AFWN) was no exception, as a higher percent of designers that showcased at the event used the Ankara fabrics and other African prints in their pieces.

Bellafricana.com, an online platform that bridges the gap, promotes and connects producers of quality Afrocentric products to customers both in the diaspora that want to connect to home and customers in the local that are dissatisfied and looking for quality products with a goal to make creative Afrocentric products globally accessible.
Beyond the online platform, Bellafricana aims to proffer solutions targeted towards reducing the challenges Afrocentric brands undergo.
They are also working hard to bring the quality creative Afrocentric brands to the forefront of the market.
I wanted to educate you of what it means for an Afrocentric business to be ‘Bellafricana Verified’.
If you see a brand that carries this crest, this simply means;
1) The business/company is registered in Nigeria.
2) The business operates from a verified location in Nigeria.
3) The products have been checked to attest to the quality and reviews have been read from buyers who have given a clear tick ✔ rating the brand as acceptable by both us and the public except proven otherwise.
Bellafricana is working towards improving all buyers trust in buying a Nigerian/African brand and working with these producers on how to make their products more credible in the Nigeria and Global market if they have intentions to be sustainable and expand.
Bellafricana is very particular about the quality of Nigerian (African) brands whilst supporting them to grow their standards as they believe that promoting local talents to a global audience contributes to job creations in the Nigerian (African) economy.
