This year, the Miss Ivory Coast national beauty pageant announced a new rule: Contestants are no longer allowed to wear wigs during the competition. Instead, the winner will need to have a natural hair style. While Ivory Coast's pageant is the first in Africa to prohibit wigs, it's a discussion happening across West Africa about beauty standards. Host Carolyn Beeler spoke to Rena Ogwanighie, a fashion and beauty writer for the online magazine Marie Claire Nigeria, who joined the show from Lagos, Nigeria.
