International Beauty Day: Google Reveals Nigeria’s Top Beauty, Fitness Searches Since COVID-19 Pandemic

Today is International Beauty Day and Google has revealed the top beauty and fitness-related searches since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged.
International Beauty Day is observed annually to celebrate the outer and inner beauty of individuals across the world. To commemorate this day, Google today revealed the beauty and fitness-related searches that captured the interest of Nigerians over the past 20 months.

Since the Covid-19 epidemic started, questions such as “how to grow natural hair” and “how to decrease belly fat,” and phrases like “hairstyles for women” and “bone straight hair,” have been among the most often googled beauty terms by Nigerians. This indicates that Nigerians were more conscious about how to feel beautiful and stay fit as they navigated through the pandemic.

“Butterfly braids” is a breakout search query that emerged in Nigeria over the past year, while searches for “bone straight wig” increased over 4,000 percent. “Jungle braids”, however, was a breakout search in the past month in Nigeria.

Bayelsa State was also identified as the top state in Nigeria in terms of beauty-related searches during the last 12 months.
