POPULARITY
For years retail environments for black hair care products and services have been lacking the same upmarket aesthetic and customer service promoted by the beauty industry targeting those outside of the black community. With black consumers now suffering issues of abuse, neglect and racism when buying the hair care products they need, it's more important than ever to lift up, promote and support black owned businesses serving the community. I speak to CEO of natural product discovery box TreasureTress, Jamelia Donaldson, who joins me to discuss raising the bar for the black beauty industry, and why re-aligning the standard for black hair care to global beauty standards is so important.FOLLOW JAMELIA ON SOCIALS:INSTAGRAM TIKTOK FOLLOW TREASURETRESS:INSTAGRAM TIKTOK WEBSITE FOLLOW TEXTURE TALKS ON SOCIALS:INSTAGRAM TIKTOK WEBSITESPONSORS:INSTAGRAM WEBSITE Teresa and Eleanore Richardson from Fulham Scalp and Hair Clinic are an absolutely INCREDIBLE black female mother daughter led team of highly experienced Consultant Trichologists who since 2011 have provided the afro and curly haired community with help, support and guidance to get our hair care journeys back on track.As such highly respected Afro hair Trichologists I couldn't think of a better sponsor to partner with on the next segment of Texture Talks and to guide me personally on my own natural hair care journey.Learn more about them at www.fulhamscalphairclinic.com and use discount code TEXTURETALKS5 for 5% off your consultation fee.
In 2005, Nibi Lawson's finance career took her from NYC to Lagos, Nigeria, coinciding with the resurgence of the 2000s natural hair movement. However, Lagos didn't reflect the natural hair celebration she hoped for. Determined to reshape this narrative, Nibi embarked on a mission to promote and celebrate natural hair textures, giving birth to a vibrant community. In 2010, she launched Kinky Apothecary, Nigeria's first trusted marketplace for clean, effective textured hair products. Drawing from a decade of beauty community engagement, Nibi is now pioneering HairRx, an AI-driven beauty tech startup personalizing hair care for curly and textured hair.

Episode SummaryAs a black woman with Type 4c hair, host, Paige Lewin, has experimented with every hairstyle, from wigs and weaves, to braids, bleach, and various different hair colours. Her hair care journey being so liberal, lead her to seek help, booking hair appointments across a wide spectrum of UK based hair salons. From local black hairdressers to mainstream global chains, Paige talks honestly, and candidly, about her experiences, and the impacts these moments in her life had on her psychologically growing up as a young black woman in Britain with curls, kinks, and coils on her scalp that were seen to be outliers to the standard.In this episode we will debate- The impact of seeing straight hair as a beauty standard [10:08] - Chemical processing the hair of young women [11:09]- The issue with busy black hairdressers [18:40]- Psychological impact for black girls in white salons [27:46]Important Moments - Why I decided to create Texture Talks [1:20]- Introduction to topic [5:40]- My first salon experience [9:27]- My experience with mainstream "white" salons [26:24]- How can we make a change [37:11]- Like and Subscribe, Rate and Review, Share on socials, Submit episode ideas!

BoF's Sheena Butler-Young and Tamison O'Connor join Lauren Sherman to discuss how a new generation of entrepreneurs are driving growth in this underdeveloped category. Background: Monique Rodriguez turned a series of Instagram tutorials — where she made hair care concoctions out of ingredients found in her kitchen — into one of the most recognisable multicultural hair care brands in the US, Mielle Organics. The label just secured a reported $100 million non-controlling investment from Berkshire Partners that will help Rodriguez, who is now one of fewer than 100 Black women founders to have secured at least $1 million in funding, scale her business independently. Products for natural hair is a billion-dollar plus business in the US, and getting more attention from investors as they start to recognise its enormous untapped potential and historical neglect. At the same time, founders are re-thinking how products are made, marketed and distributed to consumers. “The next class of Black hair care founders want to flip the narrative arc: this isn't a segment, this is the market,” said BoF correspondent Sheena Butler-Young. ”I think that's where we're headed. That's the goal of these kinds of brands.” Key Insights: The textured hair category remained relatively stagnant even as beauty saw a wider branding evolution with the rise of brands like Glossier that changed attitudes in beauty about the way brands can look and market themselves. Now, that's changing. Rodriguez does a lot of education on entrepreneurship — specifically, highlighting that selling a brand isn't “selling out,” though some shoppers may see it that way. Getting acquired can lead to better access to retailers and distribution deals, as well as better prices and product availability for consumers. For a long time, fashion and beauty has neglected to direct proper attention and resources to catering to and courting the Black consumer. That's shifting as it has become clear to investors and brands they are leaving money on the table.

One of the questions I get most often is. . . how do you do your hair? With all the sweats and workouts I do, people are surprised that I can go from gym to date night within a few hours with a fully styled head of hair.

During our evolution and mindset journey, it's fun to explore new ways to up our physical game too to feel good! Here are a few things that I do to help me with my hair that compliment my health and body journey. . . 3 KEY STEPS THAT KEEP MY HAIR IN CHECK:Wash 2-3 times per week: I do not over wash my hair. Sleep with my hair in a high cinnamon type hair bun: this helps keep my hair easy to style between washes Dry my hair after a workout right away: this helps dry my hair after a sweaty workout so that it's easier to style after a workout.

Have you ever wondered about the long term effects of the toxic chemicals found in black hair care products? I decided to go more in depth with this discussion to find the reasons why and how black women are disproportionately exposed to increased levels of toxins in hair products, when compared to other groups. In order to get to the bottom of this alarming data, I decided to have an open discussion with Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. Sharleen St. Surin-Lord, MD. About Dr. St. Surin-Lord: Voted Top Doctor in the D.C. Metropolitan area, Dr. St. Surin-Lord is a Board Certified Dermatologist and Assistant Professor at Howard University College of Medicine.

She has been featured in The Huffington Post, Byrdie, Prevention, Web MD, Health Line and has a hair column called "Hair It Is" in Happi Magazine! Dr. St. Surin-Lord's level of expertise is remarkable and she truly gets candid to shed light on some of the major toxins that are found in black hair care products and how they are effecting our health at alarming rates! In this episode, we discuss: Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals to be aware of before purchasing products The link between toxins in hair products, Cancer, Fibroids and Hair Loss Treatment options for hair loss How we can fight to keep harmful products geared toward black women off the shelves I am so excited for this episode and I know that you will learn so much from Dr. Sharleen St. Surin-Lord, who is truly a gem.

Owner and operator of Tutus & Tennis Shoes, Kanisha Tillman, joins the WTFP crew to discuss the reality of a war on poverty and the lack of opportunity that results from it, which in turn impacts the upbringing and development of all children, but in particular, those of color. This realization combined with her passion to uplift and provide viable hair care options for young black girls led to her current niche in providing hair care assistance to transracial adoptive families. The dialogue identifies the nuanced relationship between white adoptive parents and their new, young black family members, with particular focus on the opportunity that exists to help these children feel comfortable in their own skin through healthy and effective hair care maintenance, education, etc.Kanisha's early memories of selling afrocentric products to clientele in the likes of Maya Angelou are explored, while somewhere along the way, it is revealed that host PHATEROC is not the only black person on the call who can't play Spades.Follow Tutus & Tennis Shoes:IG: @tutus_tennis_shoesFB: CLICK HEREFind out more about your opportunities to learn proper hair care for your young black family members HERE.

We talk about hair discrimination, again, among lots and lots of other things.
Welcome back, beautiful people! This week's guest is truly a pioneer in the Black hair care and beauty industry. For episode five, I'm chatting with none other than Lisa Price – the founder of natural hair and beauty brand Carol's Daughter.Carol's Daughter's story begins in Lisa's Brooklyn kitchen in the '90s when she began concocting her own fragrances, perfumes, and creams. In 1993, she was encouraged by her mother, Carol, to begin selling her products and the rest is history. Over the past 27 years, Carol's Daughter has become a mega-popular haircare and beauty brand with celebrity fans including Jada Pinkett-Smith, Erykah Badu, and Halle Berry. Carol's Daughter joined L'Oréal in 2014, which propelled the growth of the brand even further and made the products available in major retailers like Target. In this episode, Lisa and I have a one-on-one chat about the early beginnings of Carol's Daughter, being acquired by L'Oréal, her advice for other beauty founders, and so much more.Stay connected with Lisa Price: @iamlisapriceSubscribe to The Hue Report on Apple Podcasts + Spotify Join The Hue Report community on Instagram: @thehuereportFollow The Hue Report on Twitter: @thehuereportStay in touch with me on Instagram: @oliviahancock_

Today's conversation with my guest, Monica Hunter, was a gift. We talked about hair and skincare, and in that, we explored how to help our children feel valued and loved. There is beauty in coming together to care for one another. As a foster and adoptive mom of a multi-racial family, I've had to ask so many questions, and I'm thankful for people like Monica who are willing to jump in and share their knowledge. We need spaces where we don't have to fear making a mistake but can simply learn with others together. I want my children to know I care about them, and part of that is showing them that I care about the hair and skin that God uniquely gave each of us.

That's our story and we are sticking to it. lol ** Now that salons are closed, are you doing the right thing for your hair? I'll admit it, I'm not. Personally, I'm frustrated with my hair and have been eyeing the scissors on my desk. Conditioning? Oh yeah, I should really do that huh? You may not be as bad off as I am, but you have probably experienced some concern about how to best maintain your mane during this pandemic. This episode is for you.

Join Ms. SiSi as she speaks with 25-Year-Old Love Atiya of Ethreal Love about her journey on the road to entrepreneurialism. Meet Love Atiya, the first 25-year old unschooled Black woman to launch - not one, two or three - but four self-love inspired businesses; with her newest business being Ethereal by Love Atiya. Films like Mean Girls often portray homeschooled children as extremely socially awkward, highly intelligent, yet very strange. Atiya, however, spent her entire life trying to change that narrative. In fact, by the age of four, she had already opened her first business. Thanks to a beautician gluing a weave to her scalp; at the age of eighteen, Love Atiya lost a patch of her hair in the front of her head, as well as her confidence. Fortunately, she began to do an extensive amount of research until she was able to grow her "edges" back. A few years later, she lost her edges again; but thanks to her newfound knowledge, she knew the perfect mix of oils that would grow them back even faster! After moving from New York City to Atlanta, GA, Love Atiya's hair product addiction grew, as did her frustration. Why was it so hard for her to find a product that didn't contain water, alcohol, a paraben or a word she couldn't pronounce? That's when Ethereal by Love Atiya was born. Love Atiya's signature product, Ethereal Hair Growth Oil, has stunned the world with its cruelty-free, vegan, aromatic, detangling, hydrating and thickening abilities. The expansion of the company continued on Valentine's Day with the release of Love Atiya's latest confidence boosting product The Ethereal Rhassoul Clay & Turmeric Face/Hair Mask.

Join us tonight for a conversation with Yetunde Jude of the Yelani Haircare and The Black Hair Care Revolution at 9pm EST/6pm PST.
"Taking Back The Black Hair Care Industry" The beauty supply industry is a 15 billion dollar industry and 85% of that revenue is generated by Black consumers. We own less than 3% of the beauty supply stores and many of the Black hair care products are not Black owned. Devin Robinson owns several beauty supply stores and has been instrumental in helping to opening over 70 more Black owned beauty supply stores. Devin founded the Beauty Supply Institute where he teaches Black entrepreneurs how to successfully open and manage beauty their own stores. This is a must listen.
Tune In for our Questions of the Day this week:Black Hair Care Industry: Does it matter to you who and where you buy products from? Do you notice the lack of black owned hair care shops that are so personally geared towards black people's hair needs? Have you ever stop to think about it? Does it make you feel a certain way that the Black hair care industry is predominantly owned by other ethnicity groups besides black people? Let's talk about it this week on the CCshow. Plus we will also talk news and pop culture in our Word On The Blog Segment. So call in this week and join the discussion.
Carolyn Bendall, Fashion Critic, blogger, and image consultant, (www.carolynbendall.com), discusses subjects, trends, or products within the beauty and fashion industry, focusing on Your True Colours, and how it applies to you, the individual. Marjorie Edwards, http://www.bestblackhaircare.com Marjorie has had a broad and varied career in the world of fashion, art design and personal care. She begin as a custom clothing designer and manufacturer in Chicago and that love of fashion design extended into art design where she began creating artistic wallpaper fans for home décor and gifts. As she became closer with individual clients, who expressed a desire to take better care of themselves her interest continued to grow and extend into the area of personal care. Her original focus was on nutrition and skincare, which lead to a partnership with Modere, a new company known for safe and non-toxic products. However the area of greatest concern for women, in particular women of color is haircare. In response with this growing interest in hair care, she embarked upon a mission to help women of color to better understand their hair their dilemmas and find the best solutions for results they want. Therefore, she became a “Beauty Detective” researching the whats and whys of hair.
When Eddie was 20 years old, she suffered from the devastating effects of severe hair loss due to over processing her hair and an allergic reaction to a toxic chemical in a product. After many years of undergoing treatments to grow her hair back and purchasing every product that claimed it would do the same, Eddie decided to do the research and create her own product line. In 2007, Sweet Nature by Eddie was born. Eddie's mission is to provide an alternative to the hair care products that contain toxic ingredients, by enriching her products with nutrient rich ingredients. She is also on a mission to educate women through consultations, counseling, seminars and workshops, empowering them to make better decisions for the mind, body and HAIR! http://www.sweetnaturebyeddie.info

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Padrica Norfleet as a guest on our program. The founder of NaturalistaCosmetics, a resources for black females to find hair, skin and beauty products free from the poisons that are crammed into most "beauty" products - especially substances marketed to black females. Ms. Norfleet's website was overrun by Race Soldiers who apparently felt threatened by black females marketing organic hair products while refraining from mutilating [straightening] black hair. Ms. Norfleet's Facebook page was mercilessly terrorized with videos of burning crosses and grotesque racist taunts. One post stated coldly: "You [black women] deserve to be raped by white men." Gus thought this was significant because of the long history of RacistMen raping black females. We'll ask Ms. Norfleet what she's done to neutralize these threats and how social media moderators have responded to these ongoing and relentless terrorist attacks. #BlackSelfRespectEndsWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
