She showed off the new look on Instagram and explained why she decided to do the big chop.

She wrote:

THE BARBERS SEAT:The first time I cut my hair was when I was nine. I had been giving my mum hell on sunday evenings when it was time to get it woven for school. She just decided to put an end to my nonsense and took me to Baba Barber in Obalende.

I remember being strapped to his squeaky old ,reclined metal and torn brown leatherchair … It must have taken four adults to hold me down .

I can never forget.. How can I ? Baba gave me the full treatment . He was determined to impress my mother . He not only shaved off all my hair .. He took off every strand that lined my face and replaced it with a sharp concave line from ear to ear with his manual rusty clippers .. I was devastated . I walked into class the next day greeted with what sounded like a silent but long eeeeeeew from every one.

The experience marred me.. I’ve seen baba in a few nightmares attempting to dispossess me of my Afro . So imagine my horror when my hair started dramatically falling out two months after my boys were born.

I was deluded by someone who told me I was lucky to be carrying boys as ‘boys don’t take you hair away ‘ they give you even more .. She was right.. Initially at least ..Never had better hair than when I was pregnant .. So slowly but surely Baba barber was beckoning another visit .. But I decided that this time around ..it was going to be on my own terms .. I was going to love my scalp back to a happy place and then cut hair myself when the time was right … Just to start over.

Today was that day ..a shoot didn’t happen so I had a lil time in my hands I chopped it all off.. ?Not with old rusty clippers but my own scissors ..It makes me look even more like my mum..

So will I be missing my big fro?Absolutely!!But then again ..I’m a Nigerian woman in 2015 and I watch YouTube ?I know a thousand ways to get that baby bouncing in air again ..In a heartbeat .. I’ll just have fun with this in the mean time.I think I did better than baba barber tho. #bigchop #freshstart photographed by @riasolanke at the studio.

The Evolution of Foundation for Women of Colour (Dark skin)

Over time, beauty brands are beginning to extend their colour ranges to suit all races unlike not so long ago, finding foundation for dark skin was almost impossible..

I remember a time when the powders that existed for dark skin tone was almost like clay colour, giving you that orange tone with the likes of 'sweet sixteen'...oh my mum used that powder a lot. We would call it 'brown powder' or pancake....

If I remember correctly, Avon was about the only brand I saw that had much of a semblance to what we have now for dark skin tone. I had an Aunt that used to bring Avon with her whenever she came visiting from the States. 

Fast forward to the 2000s and it is a different atmosphere entirely. You would find big and small brands, from the expensive to the inexpensive with a broad spectrum of shades formulated to fit dark skin tones. You can find this in Elizabeth Arden, Revlon, MAC, Lancome, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Maybelline, and the list is just endless..

Irrespective of this long list, a lot of women are still searching for that perfect foundation blend. We all want that perfect shade and finishing, that suits our skin type be it oily or dry, that would last all day and has skin care properties eg SPF, anti-ageing etc.. As for me I don't really think such perfect foundation exists, please I stand to be corrected if wrong, but you might find something close enough to what you are searching for.

But the god news is that, no matter what your skin tone looks like, be it as dark as Lupita Nyong or as light as Kerry Washington, your colour match exists out there.
