Meet Gigi & Her Story

Founder and CEO of B&N Apothecary, Gigi found natural ingredients that addressed problems that many products could not solve. Her products tell a story of why she was inspired to bring Black & Nerdy to life.

"What started with a BIG chop in 2010, in college, and after trying various combinations of dozens of different hair brands and products, nothing seemed to work. I learned why when I discovered my allergy to coconut, which is in a majority of hair products on the market. That's when I took matters into my own hands. Through a LOT of trial and error, I began creating a product that worked for me, Shea + Cocoa Hair Butter. It didn't only help with my hair texture, people on campus were interested to know what products I used, and Black & Nerdy Apothecary was born."
