Back-to-school season always takes me back — fresh notebooks, squeaky oxfords, perfectly sharpened pencils (do kids even use these anymore, or am I just showing my age?).
And then there was the rain. My arch nemesis.
Growing up in the South, I was no stranger to surprise storms — but it was during my time at Spelman that the rain became personal. I was growing out my perm, just starting to get silk presses, and learning the hard way how fast your hair could go from polished to puffy. One misty walk across campus and it was a wrap.
That frustration? It wasn’t just a bad hair day. It planted the seed that would become Hairbrella.
MY BACK-TO-SCHOOL HAIR ESSENTIALS
From surprise rain to dorm life to swim practice, these are the pieces I’d keep close all semester.
RAINY DAY ESSENTIALS
For surprise showers, campus walks, carpool and everything in between.
Because once I started learning from my sister about scalp sensitivity, sun protection, soft spots, and all the tiny-but-important things that matter during those early stages, it became crystal clear that we needed to expand the product line.
