https://curls.biz/mahisha-dellinger/ “As a woman of color, I wanted to flaunt my natural hair and celebrate what God has given me. It was very frustrating looking for natural hair products that are both healthy for my hair and good for this world.I had a vision that women would be able to go to any retailer and find incredibly functional products, with quality ingredients, that celebrate our various curl patterns. So the dream was born! What was a vision became a reality when I launched CURLS Beauty Brands.Today, women can find CURLS on retail shelves- offering an array of products to fit their various hair care and styling needs.I hope you enjoy your CURLS products as we continue to innovate quality natural hair care for curlistas everywhere!”Your Host
