I     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 web site The Kinky Apothecary was created three years ago to provide natural products to her Nigerian sisters that weren't filled with "rubbish".

     When she travels to London for work, she stocks up on products then assists naturals back home. Just last month, she sponsored one of her Kinky Apothecary event in Lagos. "We call them Champagne, Cupcakes & Curltalk events," she says.

     Just like in America, Naturals see each other on the streets, ask about hair routines, and chat it up.

     And when it comes to having fears about how to wear her hair at work, Nibi has none because , she's the BOSS!  "Ese" (Thank you!) Nibi for the interview!

   What's Nibi feeli' thes days?

She highly recommends: www.leaveinthekinks.com/ and  www.coilyhair.com/.
