Hello Ladies
I am so happy and excited to write and share this post. At last I can show a few pictures of some of the wigs in the R Collection.
I can also share the news that Hair by Type 4 is featured in the current issue of Exquisite Magazine Nigeria.
Back in August, a writer and stylist for the magazine wanted to set up a photo shoot titled “Proudly Nigerian”. I loved the perspective of the article which was aimed at showing that Nigerian design was not limited to “Ankara, tribal designs” or clothes. The article would then feature some Nigerian designers whose work dispelled this stereotype and showcase some of their work.
My sister and I are so happy and honoured to be featured.
So the shoot was held at the end of August however, the issue we were featured in was only published at the end of November. Clearly I could not share any of the pictures until the issue was out. As a matter of fact, we did not see any of the pictures till we got our copy of the magazine.
We are very pleased with how the pictures turned out. Our only minor concern was that the lighting on some parts of the wigs could be brighter, especially at the top /crown areas.
We are currently setting up our independent shoot that will show the wigs up close and in more detail. After the photo shoot, I will put up our official pictures and the price list of the wigs in the R collection.
Thanks for all the support and interest you have shown as my sister and I embark on this entrepreneurial journey.
A big thank you also to the clients we have made custom wigs for.

Bottom centre- Wig created for the shoot (this may be added to the R Collection in the future)
Top left – my sister, Tayo and I.
Tayo (in the blue dress) is wearing a wig made with Brazilian hair. Her wig is over 5 years old and is still going strong.
I am wearing the Romance wig, at the time of the shoot the wig was a year old. I washed and conditioned it. Put some bendy sticks in it and it was good to go.
Well so there you have it, a sneak peek. Let me know what you think.

Yaaayyy!! Happy for you guys. The wigs look just great and this publicity will boost your business a notch. Have you tried getting onto Moments with Mo? For one, it will be a fantastic audience for your hair story and hair by type 4. Go on! Get on their website and send in your story. you just never know :D. They have a feature for entrepreneurs and i’m sure they’ll be interested.
Wow! Congrats on your success. Your wigs look fantastic. I have always wanted to try a wig and see if I noticed any positive changes in my hair length retention.
I wish you and your sister the best!

Thank you so much Sunny. I really appreciate the words of encouragement.
Hey Lade,
great job on the blog. My friend came over for xmas from Iceland and introduced me to yours and other blogs that show how to maintain your hair. Now your blog is particularly interesting to me cos it includes wigs as a form of protective covering. I am interested in your wigs and i would like to order one or more, but i live in the UK so i’m wondering how to get this shipped to me ASAP, cos darling my hair needs help!!
Great blog, great job. Do keep up the good work. Please I would like to know how much these wigs cost and where i can get them in Lagos, as I am very much interested in growing my hair to waist length. I will appreciate a prompt response. Thanks.
Hi Lade,
Stubbled across your website; looking for a nice short bob wig; by any chance do you do short, chic wigs as I’m not one for long wigs.
Cheers
