Twelve days of Christmas on African Naturalistas

I am sorry. We should have announced this on the blog since last week, just like we did on our other platforms, but I've literally been cut off from reliable internet since the 14th of December, and been an interenet percher. But better late than never anyway.

12 days of Christmas has been going on on African Naturalistas. 7 days have gone, and we have 5 days left.

Free shipping on all orders
Free bottle of hair growth oil elixir on all orders above N8,000.00
Free Christmas gifts on all orders.

Orders must be placed directly from African Naturalistas. Don't be told, don't delay. Offer valid while stock lasts.

Go to Africanaturalistas.com/ourstore or call 0809 137 7699 or send emails to orders@africanaturalistas.com to place your Christmas orders.

African Naturalistas rewards Customers' with Gift vouchers this Christmas

Hi Ladies,

The flyer above says it all. Since last Thursday, 24th of December, we have been rewarding all our customers with free Shoprite gift vouchers. And it would be ending on 31st December.

Thank you for your love, loyalty, and support through our years of existence. Because of you, we are waxing stronger, and we will continue our journey to success.

So to give you a memorable holiday, we are giving out shoprite gift vouchers to everyone who buys a minimum of 4 African Naturalistas Branded products (Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, and Black Soap are not inclusive).

You can also use this opportunity to pay it forward, in case you want to give someone who can't afford to have a memorable Christmas the Gift voucher.

Also, don't forget that we are still selling Christmas Hampers that make sense to help hair needs of your loved ones in this season of giving.

So head over to africanaturalistas.com/ourstore or click here to get some products, and a free shoprite gift voucher alongside.

Happy New Year in advance

Disclaimer: This Christmas promo was not done in partnership with Shoprite. We are giving our Shoprite vouchers just to reward our customers' loyalty, and because we don't know any other retailers who sell gift vouchers in Nigeria.

Are you ready for The Battle of the Hairlistas

It's official. Come 7th of June, 2015, there will be a Royal Rumble showdown, where Naturalistas all over Lagos Nigeria will be battling for Street Credibility. The winning team will be going home with products worth...

wait for it...

N100,000.00 worth of products.

Wow, I really wish I was qualified to participate in this battle. Though I don't need the products since I eat products for a living, but God knows I love winning! I'm sure all naturalistas out there would give anything not to think about spending on products for moths to come.

This battle is being put together by Dabs of Naija Hair Can Grow, and ladies with all kinds of hair can battle. It is a section of a bigger Salon Day Out event. The battle itself will start by 4pm at the Oriental Hotel. I sure won't be missing this because I like fun and food, lol.

So if you are interested in battling, just send an email with the subject "I want to battle" to daboju@yahoo.com.

I will be bringing more details about the Salon Day Out event in general. In the mean time, let's get ready for some serious battling.

Congrats to Chisom Okite, the final and last winner of 12 months of giveaway, on her winnings five African Naturalistas Products. Please send an email to info@africanaturalistas.com to claim your winnings.

And so, as you might have guessed, the party is not yet over. At African Naturalistas, we like to give things away, no matter how little. As you already know, there's an African Naturalistas Hall of Fame gadget on the right side of this blog. It is a list of our all-time top commenters, and it's not for decoration.

You know we don't renege on our promises. Its left for you to comment away.

The immediate giveaway will be moved from this blog to our facebook group. We have a lot of members there now, and we need to find ways to make it fun for us. All you need to do is put up a picture of your natural hair, adorned with an accessory, with a comment I am adorable African Naturalista.  All we require is for the natural hair to be exposed, and there be an accessory of any kind. You can put up as many pictures as you like. Below is a beautiful example from one of our group members

We would observe the likes and comments, and after a month, the ladies up here at AN will pick the winner. To be honest, we are more geared towards having fun, and seeing how creative natural ladies can be than the giveaway proper. But we will be giving out the three products below. Don't scream yet.

Yes, you saw right. Our new sets of products, and it is not even on sales on the AN stores yet. So what are you waiting for? If you are not a member of the group yet, join the group now by clicking here, and start posting pictures.
