Forgive me Abeg. I am writing an article for small historical analysis and the term ‘Kessing Sheen’ came up. The problem is aside the plaza, nobody seems to know about the actual company.

I’m trying to find out what the business was and what happened to the brand.

Who knows?

That's the name of a popular hair cream brand in the 80s, talk to ladies in their 40s and 50s, they should be able to give more about it.

It was a female hair cream For "perming" around 1983-8. I believe you will even see the old adverts on youtube if you goggled it.

All I remember from the advert of those days is "thank you Kessing Sheen"

Go to the area you can get more information

Thank God we still have the senior men on nairaland. At times it's frustrating finding out you are engaging a WAEC candidate in an argument.

Kessingsheen was producing cosmetics: hair pomade, relaxers etc. They were popular in the 80/90s, and a cheap alternative to imported hair creams.

The company didn’t improve quality and design… then china happened. Cheap cosmetics from Asia flooded the market and knocked them out of business.

Yes I do remember them. I still remember watching their show between 1988-1990 which was called the Kessing Sheen Show. Alot of Nigerian musical artists like Mike Okri, Alex Zitto and Alex O used to sing on that show. @Naptu2 please your input is needed here.

I had to search for it on YouTube

It was a company that produced hair care products from relaxers to shampoos to conditioners. I remember the name so well because of Regina Askia.

You need to see those long Mary Slessor's skirt flowing left and right,
and some evergreen dance steps on the dance floor.
When women were girls and men were boys.
The time when virginity was sweet.
The Good Ol' days.

The owner of the brand was Kessington Momoh. He gave his reason/s for the collapse of the business in a magazine interview in 2013.
