Every woman has a choice of hairstyle – Sandra Aburime

According to Wikipedia, hair is a subject that is very important to women and their self-esteem. The positive or negative view of one’s hair can greatly affect a woman, especially if she’s of colour. Hair, its length, texture and colour, all affect how a person looks and how they will be perceived. But more importantly, in the opinion of Sandra Aburime, a Nigerian entrepreneur, and the Chief Executive Officer of Lucious Virgin Hair, not all hairstyles are for every woman.

In a recent interview, she gave her opinion, relying on her five years experience and expertise as a virgin hair merchant with a flourishing hair care business in Nigeria.

“Every woman has their own choice of hairstyle, it’s their identity, their way of expression, depending on what they feel comfortable in. Every woman’s hair must be well kept regardless of the style. So, I really don’t think a choice of hair can determine if one is ugly or not, “ she said.

Talking about a woman’s beauty and her hair, she added, “Personally, I think beauty is relative, it comes from within, beauty means elegance and class and I believe everyone is beautiful in their own right, that’s why we tell people to patronize Luscious Virgin Hair so we can bring out their inner beauty. I believe hair can maximize a lady’s beauty in the sense that hair is likely the first thing anyone would notice about an individual. Therefore having good hair is very important as it helps in enhancing the confidence of a woman making her look gorgeous.”

Sandra Aburime started Lucious Virgin Hair in 2012. Her entrepreneurial exploits started way back in her university days.

According to her, “It all started as fun because I enjoyed shopping then I realized that I could actually sell and make extra money for myself and that was it, the rest was history as they say. After graduation I had made a lot of money and was already a millionaire. I had gotten a good car and built my first house, at that point there was no need to look for a job. I was already self-made and my brand was thriving.

Sandra Aburime hails from Ewu Local Government in Edo State, Nigeria. She attended Federal Government Girls College (FGGC), in Benin City, Edo State. She had a diploma in computer engineering before complementing it with a Bsc degree in accounting from the same university, University of Benin, also in Edo State.

Her Lucious Virgin Hair, over the years, has grown exponentially not only in staff strength but also in size. She has branches in many states across the country with a great turnover rate. Her dream, according to her, is to have branches all over the world and to create more employment opportunities.

“I would also love to create a platform for young and new entrepreneurs to thrive in, create a free skill acquisition scheme to empower youths who would love to go into hair business and styling,” she stated.
