She documented her journey from the US to Lagos, sharing a video of her arrival at Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
Crystal Diamond spent only a day in Nigeria, during which she visited a salon in Lagos to get her hair and nails done.
She said she arrived on July 2, got her hair done on the 3rd, and left on the 4th.
She shared a follow-up video showing her at the salon, where several stylists attended to her simultaneously, likely due to her tight schedule.
After calculating the total cost, Diamond revealed that she spent N71,000 at the salon.
In the video she posted, she said she considered it cheaper to get her hair done in Nigeria than in the US. Some netizens doubted this as she also spent money to fly into the continent.
