A letter from our founder

 

Dear friend,

Let me tell you my story...


I’ve always struggled with my hair. It’s straight, fine, and feels more like baby hair—and there’s not a lot of it. As a young adult, I couldn’t experiment with fun colors or styles because my hair was too fragile. Using heat or heavy products wasn’t an option; they’d only leave my hair damaged and lifeless. The only time my hair looked okay was right after washing it, so I got into the habit of washing it every single day.

But when I became a mother, washing and styling my hair daily became nearly impossible. Between caring for my baby and managing everything else, I just didn’t have the time or energy. It might sound trivial, but it really affected me. I felt self-conscious, and started avoiding socializing because I was embarrassed by how my hair looked.

Determined to find a solution, I tried every heatless curler on the market. But they were either too complicated, took forever to put in, or were uncomfortable to sleep in. On the rare nights I managed to set them up, I’d wake up tired, my hair half falling out of the rollers, and my curls looking more like a mess than the effortless style I’d hoped for.

A silk pillowcase was one thing that somewhat helped—it was gentle on my hair and reduced the damage, but my hair still looked flat and lacked in style. I needed something that worked better.

That’s when I had my lightbulb moment: what if I combined the benefits of silk with rollers? Something simple, gentle, and comfortable to keep my hair in place and out of the way while I sleep. That’s how my invention was born,  a silk rod with unique curling design to make life a little easier for anyone who’s been through the same struggle. I made this for all of us who just want to wake up feeling a little more put together.

Yours,
