Natural Hair Companies: Are There Too Many?

Companies with a natural hair following
Natural Hair Care Companies
Everyone and their mother is starting a natural hair company.  This is a sign of an emerging market that expands beyond oils and butters.

Products ranging from sulfate-free cleansers to growth aids to locking utensils are sold online and in local supply shops with afro-textured hair women (and men) as their targets.   Unlike other emerging markets, the natural hair movement is one that requires engagement, whether online or at local meetups. 


There is strength in numbers with natural hair consumers. But, will it be the same for natural hair companies?

  • Do you believe the influx of companies is positive for natural consumers?
  • Will there be predatory large companies and unscrupulous small companies taking advantage of this growth? 

 What are you thoughts?

Natural Hair Positive Affirmations - Thick Hair

Good Hair, Thick Hair

I believe in positive affirmations and that doesn't exclude my hair. I lived most of my life unfamiliar with my tightly curly hair, which was foreign territory to me.  When I received compliments for having thick hair, I'd get modest and say, "..thank you, but it's a lot to work with!"  


I expressed my hair challenges instead of embracing the thickness of my hair.  I had this problem when I was relaxed,  but it crept over when I became natural. 


 But, no complaints this time!  I must accept my hair and master it.

I chose to speak and write affirmations for my thick hair.
  • Your hair is full, healthy and beautiful with many strands.
  • People pay for hair extensions to have the fullness and density of your hair.
  • When someone compares your hair to a wig, it's a compliment! Be happy! 

Here's a video of my affirmations.
