Whether it’s Brazillian, Peruvian or Indian; human hair is still the hottest beauty product on the market! Chances are that you or someone you know is sporting a human hair weave. SHF catches up with Ayo Adenuga of Savvie Hair Boutique, one of Nigeria’s luxurious human hair stockists for a chat on all things human hair.
How did you get involved in the retail industry?
I can’t say it was serendipity or fortuity. As a teenager, I managed my mother’s retail store during my summer holidays. Even during college years and after college years, I was always retailing a product or service to a friend, colleague or boss!

Hydrating and conditioning is so important. For hydration, you need a Keratin based product. We are the only hair boutique in Lagos that retails the keratin shampoo and conditioner.

I bought this hair on the advice of a friend and it was not very good quality. People need to understand the reason why certain hair is more expensive than others…….quality, meaning the hair can be used over again.
By the time I took off the lace wig, it was a HOT MESS and only fit for the bin.
I will NOT be buying savvie hair ever.
You’re soooo NOT the only retailer in Lagos that sells Keratin hair products!!!!!! Hair Therapy on Joel Ogunnaike GRA Lagos (They sell really really good hair and proper professional hair products at cool prices) Even Pretty Woman on Toyin Street do them. Try Balogun Market as well.
don’t mind all her, does china mean all over the world. because of the unnecessary hype all these blogs give dem, she sells nothing but regular human hair
