Tacha: London Lacks the Vibes for My GWR Attempt
Reality TV star and entrepreneur Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has explained why she decided to hold her Guinness World Record attempt for the most makeovers done in 24 hours in Lagos, Nigeria, rather than in the United Kingdom.
Speaking during a conversation with influencer Egungun at the Tacha Beauty Festival, the former Big Brother Naija housemate said her decision was driven by a passion to promote Nigeria’s creative and entrepreneurial spirit.
According to her, the record attempt was not only about making history but also about showcasing the vibrancy and potential of Nigeria’s beauty industry.
“London won’t give me the vibes I want. I had sponsorship offers from international brands and we initially planned to do it in London. But it always makes sense to carry your country along,” Tacha explained.
The 24-hour makeover marathon began on Saturday night in Lagos, with Tacha aiming to complete 150 makeovers within the set timeframe.
By Sunday morning, she had already achieved 115 makeovers in 12 hours, surpassing the previous Guinness World Record of 113 makeovers in 24 hours.
The event is part of the Tacha Beauty Festival, a three-day celebration running from October 10 to 12, dedicated to highlighting beauty, culture, and resilience within Nigeria’s thriving creative industry.
