Woman flies to SA just to do her hair

An African content creator showed that there were no limits to getting the best care for her hair when she flew all the way to South Africa to meet up with a hair colourist.

Sitting at over 2.1 million views, the video sees TikToker @itscheymuv make her way to Jade Scheepers, a licensed hairstylist based in Sandton, to get her hair the right shade of blonde.

“She immediately got to work with colour correcting which is what I desperately needed,” said the blonde-haired @itscheymuv, who also asked for a shadow root for her hair to grow out more evenly.

To the TikToker’s despair, the toner that was applied to her hair made the blonde strands darker. Thankfully, there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

“Jade immediately went in with some heat protectant to start the blow-drying process, and I could see my colour kind of come back.”

Once the hair specialist completed trimming and flat ironing her locks, there was no trace of disappointment on @itscheymuv.

TikTokers in the comment section were impressed with the results, saying:

“I was scared for a second but I loved it in the end?.”

“Did I trust the process? No! Was I completely obsessed? Hell yeah!!!”

“She really does have the magic touch! Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous ❤️❤️.”

“Blonde hair on our 4C hair it’s a process…. I love this for you, looks beautiful.”
