5 Minutes With Azania Mosaka

I ALWAYS DREAMED OF… …

Becoming an economist and being Trevor Manuel’s right hand woman. That, or being a pilot. When I was younger, I remember looking into the cockpit of an aeroplane and thinking how much I wanted to commandeer a craft like this. I haven’t gotten there yet, but just you wait.

THE NAIL TREND I LOVE

The perks of being a salon owner means I have my nails done twice a week. I’m obsessed with mirror nails and negative space right now. I love that the nail bed is left natural, it’s fresh and modern.

EAT YOUR SKIN BEAUTIFUL

Vegetables are the secret to better skin when you don’t have the genes. For years the focus was on the topical stuff, like what you put on your skin. I often got breakouts, so I went to see a dietician and she revamped my diet to include more plant-based foods and protein. I saw a difference in my skin in two weeks.

MY RED CARPET HAIR CRUSH

I love what Manthe Ribane is doing creatively and her aesthetic as a whole. She is expressive, bold and breaking boundaries. She’s the epitome of the promise of what African creativity holds.

MY GO-TO HAIRSTYLE STARTED AS A MISTAKE

My braids were being cut, as it was being undone. When I looked in the mirror, I saw something that I really liked. I guided the hairstylist on how to cut and curl the braids. It’s been years since then, and everyone always asks me about how to get this look. To be honest, this style makes me the happiest and I always go back to it.
