Turbie TwistFounded in 2006 by sisters Angela and Christina, Turbie Twist makes hair-drying towels and wraps designed to replace the heavy bath towel after a shower. The women-owned company grew from the sisters’ own need for a convenient solution for long hair and became one of the first microfiber hair-towel brands on the market. Its signature Turbie Twist uses a tapered shape and elastic loop to stay secure while hair dries.
ChallureFounded by Charleny Escalante, the daughter of a Dominican-immigrant hairstylist, Challure makes natural curl-care products for curly and coily hair. Its formulas grew from Escalante’s own search for an easier way to care for her 3C curls and coils, including the hibiscus-and-chamomile leave-in conditioner that became the brand’s signature starting point. Challure’s silicone-, sulfate- and paraben-free line is built around embracing natural hair, cultural roots and everyday curl confidence.
SpundleBlack woman-owned Spundle is developing a patent-pending, no-heat blow dryer designed to dry wigs and hair bundles in about 15 minutes. Founded by electrical engineer Shawna Stepp-Jones, the company grew from a 2016 concept into a haircare product still being refined through demos and customer feedback.
Shirley JaneFounded by Jenna after struggling to find curl care that tended to rather than tamed her hair, Shirley Jane makes restorative hair-care formulas for naturally curly and textured hair. The company’s buildable routines use botanicals, oils, and proteins to support different curl patterns, with products formulated and manufactured in the USA. Shirley Jane’s standards also include cruelty-free formulas without sulfates, parabens, silicones, or phthalates.DAYTON, OH
