Aspire with Emma Grede · From a Basement to a Billion Dollar Brand: The Greatest Founder Story You Never Heard · 26 Mar 2026 podcast

And we're going to create this together.

Yes.

So I actually started on social media.

It was 2014.

So Instagram actually was 2013.

I'm sorry.

and Instagram was just pictures and I remember scrolling on Instagram and seeing like these girls with these beautiful luscious curls and you know I have two girls and they were younger at the time and they have beautiful luscious curls and I remember like I used to have beautiful luscious curls what happened to my curls after like years of like straightening my hair and having so much heat damage I went on a mission to figure out how to restore my own curls but

But were you making products?

Or were you making just stuff that goes on your hair at that point?

I was just making stuff that goes... Like, my intention was not to start a brand.

Like, this was really a hobby.

You were just out there on social media.

Yeah, I was trying to solve a problem for myself.

And I'll tell you, my initial idea was actually to create a hair salon.

That was like before my L. So I was like, I'm going to create this hair salon.

And that evolved into now figuring out, OK, how do you make these, you know, different concoctions?

And so I started with food products and, you know, putting egg and mayo, you know, the traditional what your grandmother tells you to like mix together.

Yeah.

And I realized that, you know, I had one incident where I put egg in my hair, got in the hot shower, the egg cooked in my hair.

And it was like so hard.
