Years later as a young law student, I would finally cut off my processed, relaxed, damaged straightened hair and embrace my natural texture. It was life changing. I felt beautiful in my own skin for the first time in my life. I want to make it easy for all women of color to feel that same feeling, but styling highly textured hair is complicated, time consuming, and deeply inconvenient for many consumers. In fact, many consumers in this niche spend upwards of 3 hours on styling each time they wash. We have engineered new tech for textured hair to make styling faster, easier, and more convenient. I want all women to be able to work out, travel, and manage our families and careers without having to sacrifice basic hygiene or confidence in our appearance.
