Toni Bravo is the CEO of Blush and an influencer powerhouse. Based in Los Angeles, the California native has built a loyal community well into the millions because of her impeccable taste and advocacy for inclusivity in the beauty industry. Toni joined Naked Beauty to talk about her life before a viral blush try-on video changed everything. She shared what it was like to grow up as a fraternal twin in the sunny and very diverse Long Beach. We talked about her early forays into filming and editing herself and her family at just nine years old, simply for the love of storytelling. She detailed how influential the women in her life were to shaping the way she saw the beauty in herself and the world around her. It's precisely this love of telling intimate stories that have shaped her POV into the one beloved by so many. Toni doesn't hold back when it comes to the realities of being a successful and full-time content creator, especially when advocating for dark-skinned Black women's access to high-quality beauty. I was very interested to learn how she maintains strong brand relationships without compromising the truth about product efficacy. She details the commitment and self-trust one has to have to succeed, because your point of view is everything. During our conversation, Toni talked about her interest in product development and why she isn't limiting herself in anything. Toni also blessed us with a quick tour of her favorite products, from skincare, to haircare, and of course blush! We covered her recent Architectural Digest feature and the intentional design choices that went into making her home, hers.

There is no one like Larry Sparks. A member of the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, he is a large part of the "Industrial Strength Bluegrass" story. As we dive into the history of southwestern Ohio bluegrass, we visited with Larry Sparks at his home in eastern Indiana. Larry Sparks talks growing up in the Miami Valley and vividly recalls the first time he sang in church as youngster. We learn about his time with The Stanley Brothers, about him being asked to join Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys, and what made him strike out on his own to form Larry Sparks & The Lonesome Ramblers. (He also bemoans the retirement of his flip phone.) Enjoy Part 1 of our conversation with Larry Sparks.

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!In this episode, Wendy sits down with Kate Assaraf, founder of Dipped—a plastic-free shampoo and conditioner bar company born from 20 years in the beauty industry and a decade of frustration. In 2014, Kate discovered something most people don't know: plastic is way more problematic than the average consumers know. Recycling is a farce. Plastic leaches chemicals into our bloodstream and messes with our endocrine systems. But instead of guilt-tripping people into sustainability, she built something radical: a product so good, people switch for quality and savings first, then realize it's plastic-free as a bonus.They explore:Why most sustainable beauty products fail: they're made for a specific avatar (linen-wearing boho) and disappoint people switching from expensive hair careBuilding a brand on integrity, not influencers: no UGC actors, no AI, only actual paying customers. Result: 0.006% return rate.Reinvesting in local economy: money spent at zero-waste stores stays in your community, supports your fire department and schools, brings back face-to-face commerceKate's philosophy is simple: don't guilt people into doing the right thing. Give them really good stuff. Treat smart women like smart women. Let quality and integrity be your marketing. The scaffolding is strong, the messaging is real, and people buy it over and over again.Connect with Kate:DipAlready.comInstagram: instagram.com/dipalreadyLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kate-assaraf-b25a741a7Referenced in this Episode:HiBar: hellohibar.comBite: bitetoothpastebits.com________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

e.l.f. just launched an entire haircare line with products priced at $10 or less, and most of the industry is talking about the products themselves.We're talking about what this launch actually means.In this episode, Cyd and David unpack why e.l.f.'s move into haircare is a warning sign for the salon industry, what happens when massive consumer brands decide they no longer need hairdressers to sell products, and why the traditional retail model may be reaching a breaking point.From Target shelves and TikTok Shop to affiliate sales and consumer trust, this conversation goes far beyond shampoo. It's about the future of retail, the changing role of the hairdresser, and why competing on products alone may no longer be enough.If you've ever wondered why clients are buying more products than ever but less of them from salons, this episode is for you.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Miko Branch. Here is a clear, structured summary of the Miko Branch interview with Rushion McDonald, along with its purpose, key takeaways, and notable quotes, drawn directly from the transcript you provided.All information cites the uploaded file. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this Money Making Conversations Masterclass episode, Rushion McDonald interviews Miko Branch, co‑founder and CEO of Miss Jessie’s, a pioneering hair‑care brand serving people with textured, curly, kinky, and wavy hair. Miko recounts how she and her late sister, Titi Branch, built Miss Jessie’s from their kitchen table in their Brooklyn brownstone, developing products designed to genuinely work for people with textured hair. She highlights the brand’s deeply personal roots—named after their grandmother Jessie Mae Branch, the first “CEO” they ever observed in action. Throughout the interview, Miko explains how Miss Jessie’s expanded from grassroots marketing, word‑of‑mouth, and early internet chat rooms to becoming a national brand found in Walgreens, CVS, Target, and more. She stresses the brand’s emphasis on education, authenticity, and providing solutions for all textured hair types. Miko also discusses signature product lines (Curly Pudding, Pillow Soft Curls, Daily Soft Curls, sulfate‑free shampoo) and how Miss Jessie’s became a leader in the natural hair movement—well before it became a mainstream trend. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To showcase Miss Jessie’s origin story and entrepreneurial journey McDonald highlights how Miko built a multimillion‑dollar brand from her kitchen table. 2. To inspire current and aspiring entrepreneurs Miko demonstrates how authentic problem‑solving creates brand loyalty and long-term success. 3. To educate listeners about textured hair and the natural hair care industry The interview reinforces that natural hair is not a trend—it's an identity and lifestyle. 4. To highlight the importance of cultural heritage and family influence Miko shares how her grandmother, her sister, and her Brooklyn salon shaped Miss Jessie’s values and innovation. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Miss Jessie’s was built on authenticity and real consumer needs The brand emerged from real hairstyling challenges Miko and Titi solved for themselves and their salon clients.. 2. Education is central to the brand’s success Miss Jessie’s teaches customers how to understand and care for their curl types—wavy, curly, kinky, multicultural, or transitioning.McDonald says the site offers more information than any hair‑care brand he has interviewed. 3. Family legacy guides the company Their grandmother Jessie Mae’s leadership, work ethic, and kitchen‑table lessons inspired their business approach. 4. The natural hair movement is here to stay People increasingly embrace their God‑given texture; straightening is no longer the dominant norm. 5. Social media amplified—did not create—their success Word‑of‑mouth began long before social media; platforms today simply extend their reach. 6. Miss Jessie’s serves everyone with texture—not just Black women Men, boys, Latinas, mixed‑race individuals—anyone with curls or waves—can find a solution. 7. Product innovation drove their growth Curly Pudding, Pillow Soft Curls, Daily Soft Curls, and sulfate‑free shampoos transformed textured hair care. 8. Their Brooklyn salon doubled as R&D It allowed the sisters to test products directly on customers and ensure real‑world performance. NOTABLE QUOTES (from transcript) On the company’s beginnings “We started our business in our brownstone right at our kitchen table.” “Curly Pudding was the groundbreaker—the game changer.” On the brand’s philosophy “The bottom line is being able to create products that are helpful.” “Information and communication is key to success.” On inclusivity “Anyone who has texture… we have something for you.” On natural hair “Natural hair, curly hair is preferred… it’s how people want to express themselves.” “Natural hair is not a trend—it’s here to stay.” On social media and growth “We were going viral before ‘going viral’ was a word.”. On legacy “Our grandmother Jessie was the first female CEO we’d ever seen.”. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this inaugural episode of our "Industrial Strength Bluegrass" season of Walls of Time, we sit down with Fred Bartenstein at his home in Yellow Springs, OH. Fred is one of the editors of the book Industrial Strength Bluegrass: Southwestern Ohio's Musical Legacy for University of Illinois Press, so he had to be our first guest this season. We start off our conversation, by learning what exactly is "industrial strength bluegrass", where did the title originate, and why does it refer to bluegrass music connected to the Dayton/Cincinnati region. Fred truly is a "bluegrass guru." His multi-faceted career in this music began as a teenager. For six decades, he has worn many hats, including guitar player, radio broadcaster, newspaper editor, scholar, festival emcee, author, educator, and more. His work in bluegrass began in a big way as a young man, becoming the right hand man for Carlton Haney, known as the "P.T. Barnum of Bluegrass Music", and he tells us all about it! (Yes -- I ask about Pythagoras.) Enjoy Part 1 of our conversation with Fred Bartenstein.

Many brands spend years trying to earn their place on retail shelves. They pitch buyers, fight for space and hope their products will sell once they finally get there. But what if you flipped that model? What if you built so much demand online that retailers actually came looking for you? That's exactly what today's guest has done. Jaimee Vilela is the Managing Director of Cooki Haircare, a fast-growing Australian haircare brand she acquired just a few years ago. At the time, the business was doing just four sales a day. Since then, Jaimee and her team have transformed Cooki into a multi-million-dollar brand powered by a passionate community of customers and a strong digital-first strategy. That demand has translated into retail momentum, with Cooki now ranged across the Go Vita network across Australia. In this episode, Jaimee shares the unconventional path from small eCommerce acquisition to national retail presence, and what it takes to build a brand that customers and retailers both want.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Aamna Adel to explore a topic that has long been overshadowed in beauty conversations: scalp health. While consumers often focus on the visible aspects of hair, Dr. Adel explains why healthy hair begins at the scalp—and why understanding the biology beneath the surface may be one of the most important shifts happening in dermatology and hair care today.Drawing from both her clinical expertise and personal experience with hair loss, Dr. Adel unpacks the complex factors that influence hair growth, from hormones and inflammation to nutritional deficiencies, stress, and scalp barrier function. Rather than viewing hair loss as a single-condition problem, she explains why successful treatment often requires a more holistic understanding of the biological systems involved.The conversation also challenges common misconceptions about scalp care. Just like facial skin, the scalp has its own barrier, microbiome, and inflammatory pathways that require support and protection. Dr. Adel discusses why issues such as dryness, irritation, excess oil production, and even sun exposure can influence long-term hair health, and why addressing scalp health should be a foundational part of any hair care routine.Inspired by her own hair loss journey, Dr. Adel also shares the story behind Rhute and her mission to bring evidence-based dermatology into everyday hair care. By combining multiple pathways involved in hair growth and scalp health, she hopes to bridge the gap between medical treatment and accessible daily support.Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Aamna Adel discuss scalp health, hair loss, dermatology, and why the future of healthy hair starts beneath the surface.Shop RhuteDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe hair aisle has a script, and it's been playing in our heads for years: control, tame, smooth, fight frizz, define curls. When I hear those words, I don't just think about Black hair products, I think about beliefs and the quiet way beauty marketing trains us to see textured hair as a problem that needs a solution. So I'm asking a bigger question than “who made the rules” about beauty standards. Are Black hair products solving problems or selling them, and what did it cost Black women to believe those messages?I walk through how advertising language shapes self-image, from the idea of hair needing to “behave” to the way straight hair was positioned as professional and presentable. I also revisit the nostalgia and harm wrapped up in kid-focused relaxer marketing, plus the uncomfortable truth behind some of the images that helped sell those products. Then I fast-forward to the natural hair movement and the way the industry pivoted, swapping straightness promises for a new kind of pressure: perfect curl definition, perfect edges, and perfect routines.We also get practical about what hair products and labels don't tell you. “Anti-frizz” can hide the difference between texture and damage, and many hair growth products ignore the real issue: hair retention, breakage, dryness, tension, or even medical concerns. Black hair products can support healthy hair care, but no bottle can override biology, and sometimes the biggest change is the habit shift a product inspires.If you've ever wondered whether you're buying a cream or buying an expectation, hit play.

Welcome to my latest coffee chat  -  First up - Blake Lively probably won't get a damn dime from Justin Baldoni (even though she is still trying to) so thank and praise the LORD. Now she just has to go away and leave Justin Baldoni and all of us alone.  Next, Meghan Markle recently "rebranded" her "As ever" website, but to me it's the same old tired stuff she has already peddled to us, with just a new focus on her. I'm sorry, but I just can't get excited about it.  In this video, I give Meghan some free and unsolicited tips to save her faltering and uninspired brand. She won't listen to me, but that's beside the point.  Also, Meghan is STILL showing us the back of her kid's heads - this time at Disneyland.  It is creepy and I don't like it. For several reasons.  Harry is finding himself in HOT WATER and scandalous accusations regarding Invictus Games and alleged financial mismanagement are swirling- (it's bad.) The future doesn't look too good for the "Duke of Delusion." Lastly, I will share some of my BEST hair care tips and my favorite products that have really helped my recently highlighted, blonde hair feel healthy, soft and shiny at 52! All products are linked under the video and the ones NOT under the video are linked here- OGX Bond Repair Hair Mask and the Schwartzkoft Blonde Me Bond Repair Purple Mask - click here- https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/4589073 Bali Curls Bonding Repair Overnight Exlixir No. 4 - can be found on their website I make a small commission if you click and purchase any of the products linked.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Alli Webb, the founder of Drybar and creator of Messy, for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, innovation, and the evolving relationship people have with their hair. Best known for transforming the blowout into a category-defining experience, Alli reflects on the journey from launching a mobile styling business to building one of the most recognizable brands in beauty.What emerges is a powerful lesson in how great businesses are built. Drybar didn't succeed because it invented something new—it succeeded because it solved a real problem. Alli shares how identifying an unmet consumer need, combined with relentless focus on experience, consistency, and accessibility, helped create a brand that resonated far beyond the salon chair.The conversation also pulls back the curtain on the realities of entrepreneurship. Beyond the headlines and success stories, Alli speaks openly about the challenges of scaling a company, maintaining a clear vision, and navigating the constant problem-solving that comes with growth. Her perspective offers a refreshing reminder that successful businesses are rarely built through perfect planning—they evolve through resilience, adaptability, and curiosity.As the discussion turns to her latest venture, Messy, Alli shares how a shift in her own relationship with hair inspired a new philosophy. Rather than constantly transforming texture through heat and styling, she began embracing her natural waves and encouraging others to do the same. The result is a brand centered on hair health, authenticity, and working with your hair rather than against it.Listen to the full episode to hear Alli Webb discuss building iconic brands, embracing natural texture, and why authenticity may be the most powerful beauty trend of all.Shop MessyDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

This episode features an interview between host B Rad Celebrity Hairstylist and guest Jonathan Pike, who introduces a specialized hair care line called Bioveta. Pike explains that unlike traditional shampoos that rely on bonding agents or oils to mask damage, his formula uses an acidic pH to physically close the hair cuticle and neutralize chemical residues. The regimen consists of a three-step corrective process—clean, sleek, and cure—designed to manage moisture and restore structural integrity to all hair types. The conversation highlights how this science-based approach eliminates the need for heavy proteins that often lead to product buildup and hair breakage. Beyond hair care, Pike briefly touches upon his background in corrective chemistry and his expansion into hemp-based wellness and equine products. Overall, the source promotes a minimalist, effective system for achieving healthy, manageable hair without the use of artificial coating agents.https://www.HairstylistEmpowermentPodcast.comhttps://www.Bioveta.comBrought to you by https://www.BeautyIndustryCruises.com

Send us Fan MailBlack hair has been turned into a marketplace for generations and once you notice it, you can't unsee it. Season 6 of Hair What I'm Saying starts with a clear promise: we're not just talking about hair, we're talking about what hair reveals about history, identity, and the stories that shape how we see ourselves in the mirror.We get into how Black hair has been studied, marketed, politicized, and monetized, and how entire industries have grown around telling us what's “acceptable,” what's “professional,” and what needs to be “fixed.” Along the way, we talk about the moment many of us stop asking questions and start accepting routines and rules as fact. I'm inviting you to pull those messages apart and look at what's underneath them: beauty standards, inherited narratives, and billion-dollar incentives that don't always align with our well-being.And let me be clear: Black hair care is not a scam. Our traditions aren't a scam. Protective styling isn't a scam. Taking care of your hair isn't a scam. What we are challenging is the marketing and messaging that can make you feel like your hair must be controlled or transformed to be worthy. Because maybe the biggest thing we've been sold wasn't a product, maybe it was a belief.If you're ready to challenge what you've been taught and question what you've been sold, Season 6 starts now.

What happens when you have always been known for your hair, and suddenly you are experiencing hair loss from stress and iron deficiency anemia? We talk about the emotional side of that shift; identity, confidence, and what it really feels like when your “crown” starts to change.Arianna also breaks down the real science behind hair loss and hair health; the difference between shedding and breakage, why lab work matters, and her personal experience with iron supplements versus iron infusions. This is not surface level, we are getting into root causes.We challenge the culture of chasing hair growth at all costs and get honest about scalp care as skin care. Water, cleansing, and maintenance are not optional. Protective styles are discussed in a real way too; how wigs, weaves, and braids can become damaging when they replace consistent care instead of supporting it.Then we shift into purpose. Arianna shares how a therapy session sparked The Hair Care Project, a nonprofit providing hair care services and products to those who cannot afford them. Her story about serving women in a transitional home will stay with you; this is about dignity, healing, and community in real time.This conversation connects hair loss, homelessness, and hope in a way that goes far beyond beauty; it is about resilience, restoration, and redefining what it means to care for ourselves.To stay connected with Arianna Howell, follow her socials below:WebsiteFacebookLinkedInSupport the showDo you have a story to share that's worth our listeners hearing, please fill out the Listener Letters Form and tell us your story!

After losing everything, facing nearly $3 million in debt, and relying on a food bank while pregnant and raising five children, Amy rebuilt her life and business from the ground up.This is a raw and deeply human conversation about survival, stigma, faith, and entrepreneurship. Amy shares what it really takes to rise after financial collapse - how shame can either shrink you or shape you and why the hardest season of her life became the foundation of her greatest success. From head lice to hardship, from a red picnic basket at the food bank to leading a thriving company, this episode is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and purpose-driven leadership.Key TakeawaysResilience is forged in crisis - the 2007 financial crash became the catalyst for Amy's complete reinvention.Financial failure does not define your future - confronting shame is the first step toward rebuilding confidence and wealth.Faith, grit, and decisive action matter more than perfect timing or ideal conditions. Ultimately, business success becomes more meaningful when it's built on impact, service, and gratitude.Episode HighlightsAmy opens up about losing everything during the 2007 recession and navigating nearly $3 million in debt.The emotional reality of relying on a food bank while pregnant and raising five children and the mindset shift that changed her trajectory.How one of the most stigmatised and unexpected industries became the vehicle for her comeback.Turning personal adversity into a thriving, purpose-driven, multi-million-dollar enterprise.Timestamps00:03:18 — The 2007 crash and losing everything00:09:42 — Facing $3M in debt00:17:55 — Food banks, pregnancy, and survival mode00:31:20 — The turning point decision00:46:08 — Building the business from the ground up01:02:15 — From shame to serviceConnect with Amy ChinianWebsite:www.myhairhelpers.comInstagram: @myhairhelpersLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/amy-chinian-90697b22Connect with HinaWEBSITE I https://thehinasiddiqui.com/LINKEDIN I / hinasiddiquiINSTAGRAM I @hinawithwingsYOUTUBE I / @thehinasiddiquiEmail I hina@thehinasiddiqui.comCheck out Hina's books: https://amzn.to/3B65Wz7Production Credit: Edited and produced by @the32collective_ / https://www.the32collective.co/The Fresh Patch Podcast - Where Good Pets Get It.

In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm so excited to sit down with Laverne Amara, founder of NVLX Labs, an eco-lux clean haircare brand created specifically for the loc community.Laverne is a certified loctician and trichology analyst whose work focuses on scalp health, buildup prevention, and education in the natural hair space. In our conversation, she shares how her journey evolved from providing services behind the chair to launching her own product line, and what it really takes to bring a beauty brand to life from scratch.We talk about the realities of product formulation, why her shampoo took about a year to perfect, and the science behind creating formulas specifically for locs versus loose natural hair. Laverne also opens up about entrepreneurship later in life, balancing multiple identities, and why slow, sustainable growth matters more than chasing viral moments.She also shares her experience serving in the military for over two decades, how hair regulations have evolved over the years, and why representation, inclusion, and education are so important in both beauty and professional spaces.If you're building a brand, thinking about launching products, or simply want real insight into what it takes to grow something meaningful from the ground up, this episode is for you.

The Afro is one of the most iconic hairstyles of the last century. And one of its main ingredients was a hair product – Afro Sheen. But Afro Sheen did so much more than make Black afros shine. It was the money behind the television show Soul Train, it helped fuel the civil rights movement – all because of an entrepreneur named George Johnson. For decades, Joan and George Johnson owned and ran Johnson Products Company, a Black hair care company out of Chicago. Their intimate understanding of what Black people wanted and needed – for their hair and for their lives –  helped grow the Black middle class and became an engine for Black culture and power. They helped turn the Black haircare industry into what is now a multi-billion-dollar industry. But although they helped create this industry, they no longer have a part in it. Today on the show – the story of the rise and fall of Johnson Products. We're gonna tell you this story in three hairstyles. The conk, the afro… and the jheri curl. Related episodes:This Ad's For You'Soul Train' and the business of Black joyFashion Fair's makeoverPre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode of Planet Money was hosted by Sonari Glinton and Erika Beras.
