According to Nibikun [Nibi] Lawson of Lagos, Nigeria, Western ideals of beauty are still the focus but the Natural Hair movement is certainly afoot.  Nibi's been natural for close to 13 years and her three year old web site The Kinky Apothecary was created  to provide natural products to her Nigerian sisters that weren't filled with "rubbish".

     Her job requires quite a bit of travel, so when she visits London for work, she stocks up on products then assist her natural sisters back home. The Kinky Apothecary sponsors several natural hair events. "We call them Champagne, Cupcakes & Curltalk events," she says. Just like in America, naturals see each other on the streets, ask each other about products and chat it up.

      When it comes to any fears about her natural hair in the workplace, there's no issue because she's the BOSS!  

     What other blogs in Nibi excited about these days? She's talking about:
