How did you come up with the idea for this product
Here's a few words from our Founder and CEO, Kadidja Dosso:
As an inquisitive 3 year old, I would watch my mother and grandmother style hair and would ask a million questions so that I could mimic the styles on my Barbie Dolls. As I grew older, I began braiding my own hair, my friends' and others through referrals in middle school and throughout college. When entering my local beauty supply store in West Philadelphia, I would see warning labels and ingredients on the products in which I could not pronounce or identify. Something told me that there had to be an alternative for people of color to have access to products that were healthy for their hair and body. From that moment on, I knew that I was destined to build an Organic Beauty Empire similar to Madame CJ Walker.

Unlike other brands, you will never have to question what exactly you are putting on your body or in your hair.
What has been the best part of your experience
The best part of this experience has been the interaction and engagement we have had with our customers. Seeing the ongoing impact that Dosso Beauty has on our customers has been amazing.
