According to him, “In line with Kaneka Corporation’s corporate philosophy and strategic direction to promote the beauty of the African woman through the provision of high quality hair products, Kaneka desires to play a more prominent role in the economy by investing more in the Nigerian market.” Hideaki Nakamura further stated that “the deal with Stephanie is consistent with Kaneka’s policy of using the best talents everywhere the company has presence, to promote our product and Stephanie came highly recommended in this area.”

Dear Aunty Tawa,
Please note that Kanekalon is not a hair extension but a fibre used in manufacturing your quality hair attachments such as X-pression, Amigos and NINA. They all contain 100% Kanekalon fibre.
