Tacha Completes 24-Hour Guinness World Record Attempt with 145 Makeovers.

Reality TV star and entrepreneur Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has successfully completed her 24-hour Guinness World Record attempt for the most makeovers done in a single day.

The beauty marathon concluded at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday at the John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture & History in Lagos, the same venue where she began on Saturday.

Despite brief technical setbacks, including a temporary power outage, Tacha remained focused and completed 145 makeovers on both male and female models. The lineup featured influencers such as Mitchy, Venita Akpofure, and Wanni and Handi, representing a mix of body types and skin tones that highlighted her versatility and speed.

Each transformation was professionally documented through headshots and runway showcases as part of the Tacha Beauty Festival, which served as the backdrop for her record bid.

The event drew an impressive guest list of celebrities and public figures, including Alex Unusual, Toke Makinwa, Dabota Lawson, Soma Anyama, Slimcase, Ice Prince, Egungun of Lagos, and Idris Aregbe, Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Tourism.

Tacha, who rose to fame during Big Brother Naija Season 4, now awaits official confirmation from Guinness World Records, which will review the documentation before certifying her as an official record holder.

She said her motivation for the challenge was to celebrate creativity, consistency, and the resilience of Nigerian women in the global beauty industry, adding that the record attempt symbolizes hard work and national pride.
