"I contest for the Face of Lush Hair and I won. I competed with different hairstylists from different Faculties and departments in the school.
"I emerged winner by creating a very distinct and creative hairstyle which I tagged "Afro Heartbeat" due to the pressure of creating some distinct and dynamic within the short notice of time.
"I will say being a creative stylist is something that runs in through you personally. Being able to create something dynamic not just pleasant to the eyes, but also very distinct is a great talent, especially as a male hairstylist in the female business", Adelaja said.
My plans for the future
Speaking on his plans for the future, Adelaja said he wants to be able to transform people into kings and queens.
In his words:
"In future, I want to create an avenue where different gender can come into the saloon or store even if not looking beautiful and being able to transform them into elegant Queens or kings because I think all genders are beautiful in their different ways.
"Transforming them includes their; face, hair, skin, body massage, and anything they want and if possible creating an avenue where they also have a cloth already made down for them (like a cloth line) be it to be sew or already made."

Some metres away from her, her competitors were also busy. Immediately the competition was over, many celebrated her as the winner.
