Many Nigerian girls like girls across the world want to be models.
How do you become a model? What does it take to be successful?

The first step is find an agent to represent you.
As part of preparing to meet with that agency, you must build your portfolio and watch these;

Hair: don't use a wig, weave or whatever hair extensions.
Learn to be natural.
Keep your hair clean, moisturized, shiny and most importantly, natural.

Dress: learn to dress appropriately for your age. Clothes should be clean and fitted NOT tight.
Be used to all kinds of shoe.

Face: Keep makeup very natural.
Your face is a canvas for model agencies to visualize the many things they can do with you.
Keep it clean.
Avoid wearing makeup if you can and if you must, keep it very natural.
Simple lip gloss is fine and if you must, mascara.

Build your portfolio: make it a point of duty, take an un edited snap shots at almost all hours of your life.

A model’s portfolio is incredibly important, as it includes pictures and past work, and is the first thing casting agents, brands, or designers will look at, in order to determine if they want to work with you.
Of course, when you’re just starting out modeling, your portfolio, also known as a book, will be sparse. In time and with success,it will expand. For now, though, ask a friend to take a few snapshots of you to give agencies an idea of your look. Your pictures might not be up to professional standards, but try to use nice camera and make sure the lighting is flattering.


With your completed portfolio all set, it’s time to get in touch with some modeling agencies .
First of all, do your research and make sure to find reputable agencies that cater to the market you’re interested in.
Then, check out the agencies’ websites to find out how they prefer you to submit your book – some will have you mail it in, while others will let you fill out forms and upload pictures online.
Additionally, many agencies have open casting calls , which are a great opportunity for aspiring models.
