A Single Mistake That Changed Everything: My Journey To CurlyCoilyTresses®

It all began with a life-changing accident — a chemical relaxer spilled on my face during a routine salon appointment, leaving me with a traumatic burn that required extensive treatment. This wasn’t my first painful encounter with chemical treatments. I had already endured scalp burns and even lost my hair twice due to relaxers.

Growing up surrounded by chemical relaxers, hot combs and jheri curls, the idea of going natural felt overwhelming — uncharted territory. But I knew I needed a change. Transitioning to natural hair and doing the big chop opened new doors but also new challenges: products left my hair dry, brittle or caused allergic reactions due to fragrances or other ingredients.

Frustrated but determined, I turned to research and began crafting my own formulas using raw, natural ingredients. These personal remedies brought my curls back to life, providing the nourishment and moisture they desperately needed — without irritation.

After 26 years in the corporate world, my path took an unexpected turn. Recognizing that I wasn’t alone in these struggles, I decided to share my solutions with others. That’s how CurlyCoilyTresses® was born — a brand rooted in real experience and the belief that natural hair deserves gentle, effective care.

Later, my journey took another twist when I was diagnosed with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA). Watching my once-vibrant curls thin was emotionally devastating, but it reignited my purpose. I pivoted my focus to support midlife women navigating similar challenges — hair loss, thinning and dryness.

CurlyCoilyTresses® is more than a brand; it’s a mission to empower women to embrace their natural beauty and reclaim their curls, no matter where they are in their journey. Our products are thoughtfully crafted to meet the unique needs of mature hair, delivering intense moisture, strength and revitalization for curls affected by time and change.

This isn’t just my story — it’s a story of resilience, reinvention and hope for every woman who feels her hair story isn’t over. Together, we celebrate the beauty of natural hair at every stage, proving that thriving curls are always possible.
