Meet Resh and Losh Naidoo – identical twins who aren’t afraid to hustle.
Resh and Losh are both occupational therapists, professional makeup artists and the co-founders of Made You Look – The Label, a bespoke fashion brand. They also star on the reality show The Mommy Club Sugar & Spice, and host the Double Dose podcast together. Resh is a proud mom to two young adults, Miashca (20) and Thishae (18), while Losh is a mom to teenage triplets, Dashriya, Daneha and Dayika (17). We caught up with them to chat about sisterhood, style and everything in between.
What’s the funniest /memorable moment you’ve shared as sisters?
There are so many! But one of the most memorable has to be when we were on a reality show together. One day, we decided to prank the cast by swapping outfits and pretending to be each other. We answered questions as if we were the other twin and mimicked each other’s mannerisms. Asharia (our co-star) immediately caught on, but it took the rest of the cast and production team a while to realise what was happening. It was such a classic twin moment!
What inspired you both to pursue your careers?
As twins, we’re incredibly similar. We both have a passion for encouraging independence and ability rather than focusing on disability, which made occupational therapy a perfect fit. At the same time, we’re both highly creative, which led us into makeup artistry and fashion design. We could never find the bold, vibrant clothes we loved, so we decided to start designing and sewing them ourselves!

If you had to describe Losh in three words, what would they be?
Fit, fun and fabulous.
What have you learned about being a mom that you would like to share?
I think that flexibility is key. I don’t think there are rules. Do what works for you, be adaptable and dynamic so you can be the best parent you can be to each of your kids. Also, I do think that filling your cup and taking the time to be the best version of yourself is also what makes you a great mum. You cannot pour from an empty cup! Your kids will learn to treat themselves from how you treat yourself.
How do you support and inspire each other, both professionally and personally?
We are each other’s biggest supporters, always pushing one another to break boundaries and reach for the stars. We celebrate each other’s wins so loudly that we don’t even hear who’s not applauding!
What’s a dream project or goal you’d love to achieve together?
Our dream is to see Made You Look – The Label take off in a big way. We’ve had so many people asking to purchase our designs, and we’re beyond excited to make them widely available. The only question is: South Africa, are you ready for us?!
Tell us about your experience on reality TV – any fun or memorable moments?
Filming the show was an absolute blast! Not many people get to experience something like that alongside their sister and family. We definitely brought double the energy and we loved every minute of it. One of the funniest moments was watching the production team struggle to tell us apart – they even mixed up our pictures in the intro video! Shooting with the other moms was also an amazing experience and we made some wonderful friends along the way.

If you had to describe Resh in three words, what would they be?
Unstoppable, multitalented and stunning.
Let’s talk about motherhood – what have you learned and what advice do you have for young moms?
The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that there are no set rules to motherhood. Trust your instincts, love unconditionally and be present. More than anything, I want my kids to remember that I was there for them, supporting them through both the good and the challenging moments.
