From Foster Care to Hair Care — Meet the Founder of a Black-Owned Vegan Haircare Line For Curly/Wavy Hair

Pasadena, CA — Tonya Fairley had a rough start; She was born to drug-addicted parents and spent most of her childhood in foster care. However, that didn’t stop her from becoming the successful owner of two hair salons, and the founder of Strandz Hydro-Curlz – a line of vegan, cruelty-free hair care products for today’s generation.

She comments, “I wanted to create a product that was clean, had good ingredients and strayed away from the toxins as much as possible. As a woman of color, I wanted my fellow curly-haired folks to feel taken care of and seen.”

Tonya, who has been a hairstylist for 30 years, understands that women and men everywhere, with a variety of different curl patterns, are looking for ways to not only tame their hair but make their curls stand out.

Hydro-Curlz contains murumuru butter, watercress oil, pumpkin seed oil, bamboo extract, and amla powder, which are all designed to moisturize and strengthen the hair. Strandz Unlimited is sulfate, silicone, paraben, and phthalate-free as well as free of artificial colors and fragrances.

Strandz Unlimited is a female, Black-owned company made in the U.S.A.
