Wrap It Like An African Gal - Cornelia's Creations



It's fashion time today. We are simply crazy about head wraps, turbans, bandannas and head scarfs. And as no one can dance like us Africans, no one can wrap it up like an African gal. We have asked a genuine Eastern Cape gal to wrap it one more time for us. And what a job she did this time!!!


If you use the African Wax or if you use our traditional ShweShwe - the rule is it has to be big!

We can say in all honesty that these creations have created a genuine admiration and a tiny little bit of jealousy from the European sisters lately. We received an email from an American gal asking us how she could learn to wrap it like our Eastern Cape Gal.  


So now we are preparing ourselves to shot a small movie, a sort of teaching instruction for the European sisters  how to wrap it.


Stay tuned, this is gonna be fun !

The Palace - Get Your Hair Done Girl


" The Palace" is a very, very chic up-market hair and nail boutique in the modern Mdantsane City Mall. 

The opening of the multi-million-rand Mdantsane City Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in the Eastern Cape in April 2008, changed a lot the life of the inhabitants of the township. 
It brought a new chapter for Mdantsane transforming it from a housing development where people still had to commute to East London City center to buy things they needed, into a self-contained suburb with it's own amenities and entertainment facilities.


It seems like it is really fun to have your hair done here.




I mean who of us ladies would not like this ?


Getting spoiled like this I wanted to say ? hmm ?


What is most in demand ?  Joining hair ! 
Extensions !
