11 Dec 2025

Description

A viral video of Malian model Zahra Haidara burning her wigs has reignited Nigeria's long-running conversation about natural versus artificial hair. Eddy Micah Jr. speaks with DW's Olisa Chukwuma in Lagos, loctician Chukwu Ngozi Blessing and wig stylist Taade Peters to explore why this debate matters — from billion-dollar wig sales to regional pageants banning extensions to promote natural beauty.
