Summary

Hair is a big business. My guest Myleik Teele is revolutionizing the world for women who have curly hair. She founded curlBOX, an exclusive and affordable monthly subscription box full of amazing haircare products for women with curly hair. This small big idea lets women try travel and sample sized hair products before actually making the purchase and investing in a full-sized bottle. CurlBox has partnerships with major brands and distributors including Procter & Gamble, Walmart, Target and Shea moisture. The company has over 200k Instagram followers and Teele even created a web-series, curlBOX TV, which gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at their favorite hair care brands. Behind this business is a remarkable personal story. And that’s where my interview with Myleik – who is only in her early 30s – begins. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
