Afro Ele has arrived in Benin 🇧🇯
A minimal creation… but deeply rooted in heritage.
From Cora to African threading to braids each detail tells a story.
Rings for unity. Wood for identity. Textures for culture.
A blend of Benin 🇧🇯, Togo 🇹🇬, and Ghana🇬🇭because this is who I am.
And this is how I create.
Welcome to my world. 🤍

Bringing Afro Ele to Benin 🇧🇯
A minimal creation… but deeply personal.
Where Cora, Ati (African threading) & braids meet heritage, identity, and storytelling.
Every detail means something. Every element belongs.

Benin, I’m here… and this is just the beginning. ✨
#AfroEleHairArtistry #christelecodo #AfroHair #BeninCreativeProcess HairStory
There’s something powerful about friends who grow with you 🤍
The ones who saw the vision before it made sense…
Who stayed when things were uncertain…
Who kept showing up, quietly, consistently, with love.
This moment is not just about hair.
It’s about loyalty. It’s about history. It’s about choosing each other, again and again.
Having a friend sit in your chair years later, trusting your hands, your growth, your craft… that’s a different kind of blessing.
To the friends who support, who believe, who remind you who you are when you forget…
Thank you. You are part of the journey. You are part of the story.
AfroL is not built alone.
It’s built on love, community, and women who uplift each other.
Hold your people close 🤍
6 years later… and I’m doing her hair again
The last time I touched her hair, we were still in university in Ghana 🇬🇭, just dreams, passion, and the very beginning of Afro Ele Hair Artistry.
Today, in Benin, in my own space, this moment feels full circle.
She has seen the journey.
She has been there through every phase, every doubt, every growth.
And today, I just want to say thank you for your love, your support, and your presence.
While I take care of her hair, here are 5 things you should know about Afro Ele Hair Artistry.
✨ It’s more than hair, it’s a mission to reconnect women to their natural identity.
✨ Being in Benin means going back to the roots learning, sharing, and honoring our traditions.
✨ We believe in beauty, love, and solidarity between women.
✨ Every hairstyle is personal it should reflect who you are and where you are in life.
✨ We don’t copy, we create styles that evolve with you.
Thank you for trusting me…
and thank you for letting me be your hairstylist 🤍
