I remember being 13 and telling my family, “I only want to marry a guy who speaks English because it’s the most beautiful language and I want him to call me sweetheart” 😅 and here we are now!It’s crazy how the things we complain about today are the same things younger us used to dream about… perspective really is everything 💗#youngerme #naturalhair #dayi̇nmylife by @ophenatural

My little pinch-me moment 🥹 finding out my big face is featured in Metro today… I knew it was coming, but I expected a tiny section in the top right corner, not next to the Bridgerton column of the day 😭 I’m actually super proud that my little Instagram hobby led me here (I can’t stop smiling) Forever grateful 💗#curlyhaircommunity #uknaturals #curlygirl #curlyhairroutine #naturalhaircommunity #cheveuxcrepus #cheveuxboucles #naturalhairstyles comewithme by @ophenatural

Chapter 1: Things I’m learning as a bride-to-be… Finding our wedding scent 🤍Not only did we both find the fragrances we’ll be wearing on our wedding day, but we also chose perfumes for our mums to wear, and a gorgeous candle that’s definitely coming on honeymoon with us 👀A little FYI if you’re interested in doing this too: the Wedding Scent Experience itself is completely complimentary. You simply book it online and only pay for any products you decide to take home afterwards.We couldn’t be more grateful to the @jomalonelondon team, especially Eleanore and Oana, for inviting us and taking such wonderful care of us throughout the whole experience.Thank you so much for helping us kick off our wedding planning in such a special way🤍*gifted#bridetobe #weddingseries #bridalseries by @ophenatural

Was it a good idea to show up with my big afro out in 34 degrees weather? Definitely not 😭 but a girl wanted to celebrate her curls ✨Thanks for the invite @aussiehair #curlyhair #naturalhairstyles #naturalhair #afrohair by @ophenatural

6 things that are expensive but that you will see me buy every single time 📋✨I genuinely think there should be a support group for people who’ve been to Japan and suffering from post-Japan depression… I would spend all my savings to just be able to live there 😍Like I said, not magical but in certain occasions it really works!To me, this is the definition of an investment: barely even any Blank street matchas have been ordered ever sinceInvest in your skin guysBEST 👏🏿 THING 👏🏿 EVER! No more waxing appointments every three weeks!!I’m biased but this was actually the best decisions of my life and financially too!I never would have started content creation if I was still in the South of France and I never would’ve had all the amazing professional opportunities I have right now.. it just makes sense 💕 by @ophenatural

A long braid ponytail with braiding hair extensions… do we like it? I’m actually surprised with how easy and quick it was to do 👀 If you love a slick back hairstyle but you’re tired of the usual low bun, here’s one way to diversify it a bit ✨#naturalhairstyle #slickbackhair #lowponytail by @ophenatural

Adding a new chapter to this little digital diary 💌💗Like everything else I share on this page, I’m documenting it because I know it’ll be a season of my life I’ll want to look back on one day…. So hopefully you’ll enjoy experiencing it with me 🥺And if wedding content isn’t really your thing, don’t worry. It’ll just be a few chapters here and there alongside all my beauty and lifestyle content. See you soon for episode 1!!#bridalseries #bridetobe #weddingpreparation by @ophenatural

And to think that a few years ago, I wasn’t even a gel fan… and now it’s my favourite styling product! 🤭If you’re looking for defined curls that still feel lightweight and bouncy, this @curlsmatter Gelée is it! Here’s exactly how I use it:🧡 As soon as I finish washing my hair, I stay in the shower (this is so important, your hair needs to be soaking wet)🧡 I apply a light layer of the Curl Cream for extra moisture 🧡 Then I go in with the Gelée, applying it section by section. I rake it through, scrunch, and that’s it… soft, defined, bouncy curls!Who’s on team gel here? 👀 #curlyhair #naturalhair #cheveuxbouclés by @ophenatural

Still on my journey to learn how to wear my natural hair proudly 💗You will see me wearing braids from time to time (especially when I feel lazy) but neeever because I want to hide my natural hair … it’s about embracing it 🥰To think that I sided to relax my hair years ago and really thought it was the only thing that would make my hair beautiful and acceptable …To this day, I think this is one of my favourite hairstyles ever! Patewo braids I did in Nigeria (considering wearing something similar on my wedding weekend👀)If it’s frizzy, I don’t think it’s a bad hair day anymore, it’s just curly hair being curlyI did a whole series last year where I shared 30 ways to wear your natural hair at work (it’s linked on my highlights) ✨You know it already, the bigger the better!! by @ophenatural

I spent the loveliest evening with @chantelle_paris celebrating their 150th anniversary ✨I always feel a sense of pride whenever I see French brands making such an impact internationally and being there to celebrate the milestone alongside so many inspiring women made the evening feel even more special. Thank you Cristie @cici_pr for having me 🤍#bridalera #influencerevent #uknaturals by @ophenatural
