macherieamour said:Me and my hair have been duking it out for months. I was determined to bring it to life and would not take no for an answer.
macherieamour said:Seriously guys- Im on the verge of tears reading this. I can just remember the time when people would speak negatively about my hair. Hair stylists would complain because it was soo thick and coarse and thus took a long time to style. They would tell me I needed to perm it so they could "work with it". I remember it being soo dry and the kids at my school calling it brittle and rough. Just so many horror stories.
Im trying to learn about my hair and hair in geneal so we black women can have the knowledge to experiment with styles, free ourselves from stylists ( go when WE want to go) and appreciate the beauty and complexities of our beautiful black hair.
In fall Ill be attending business school to take this "hair" obsession to the next level. It started when I saw black owned companies being acquired by white companies like Loreal and Revlon. Although I was initially angered that these black companies seemingly "sold out", I realized that there WERE no large black hair companies to make counter offers. Well, ladies, thats what I wanna do. I wanna start a large back hair care company that makes products, franchises salons, manufactures salon equipment, etc. Out of all the business schools I applied to Babson College's business schols was the only school that admitted me and provided me with a Women's Leadership Award scholarship to help me pay for school.
I want more money invested into understanding multi-textured hair. I want us to understand WHY our hair is dry after some conditioners and shampoos. Keracare works for me but it doesnt work for some people. Im convinced there is a logical scientific explanation for this. And I want to design products that are truly responsive and not simply marketed to us to "capture a niche market". Im still fleshing out my actual business plan but I really just want to give us more CONTROL over our hair. Im tired of running around trying to find a "good salon" when i relocate or trying to find a product that wont suck after a few months and Im convinced no one is gonna change the industry but US.
Again BABBLING. Thanks so much for the compliments! It means so much to me. And the next time, Im up late struggling to set my hair in rollers, I remember that there are thousands of women out there who can identify with the struggle![]()
