Equi Botanics 

Ekwy Chukwuji-Nnene is the founder of EQUI Botanics.  She is passionate about creating effective products with highly concentrated, active botanicals.  She is also committed to changing the media perception of black women and their hair.

She says: "Did you know that the widely accepted hairdressing NVQ excludes Afro hair training and treats it as a completely separate and additional costed module, which is a key reason why afro-textured or curly women cannot get their hair cut, washed or blowdried when they walk into any old high street salon?"
