However, there is a lack of knowledge about the African-American owned companies that continue to help the hair and cosmetic industry thrive. Here is a list of 11 companies you check out the next time you think about buying hair products:

1. Mielle Organics

Mile Organics first launched in 2014 with only an Advanced Hair Formula, which was a pill that was meant to help achieve healthy hair, skin and nails. Customers then began to demand more and the rest is history. The brand has been a hit on social media which has helped them to become a global enterprise. Oh, and their formula is all natural. Seriously, their products only include natural ingredients. How could you say no?

This brand is known for their products to create a variety, catering to the needs of you hair. Their hair care can be found in most mainstream stores like Walmart. You've more than likely ran across them already, but why not send a reminder of how awesome this brand is?

3. Curls

Curls got its start in 2002, but has grown into a household name for most naturals. Curls is all about creating products to give the hair body with springy, spiral, defined and healthy curls.

5. Jane Carter

Another mainstream brand, Jane Carter got its start over a decade go and looks to promote diversity in the curly hair market. The hair care line is plant-derived and also has a variety of products for all hair types. Knowing how harsh chemicals can be on the hair, this company strives to create a chemical free brand that gets the job done.

6. Mixed Chicks

Mixed Chicks is a brand created to be gentle and cleansing for the hair. With both of its founders coming from environments that were harsh on their hair, they wanted to create something that would be the perfect mixture. They began to mix and match ingredients until they got the perfect blend. Mixed Chicks isn't just for chicks though, they even have a line for men. This 'curly revolution' deserves a shot.

7. Camille Rose Naturals

The products came to fruition through home-made treatments and can be found in stores like Target and Whole Foods. Holistic health is the goal and has been carried out since its founding. Your hair will thank you for these products.

8. Miss Jesse's

Miss Jesse's took on the curly hair market in 2004 and haven't looked back. During that time there was hardly anything designated for curly hair care on the market. Realizing the potential and demand, Miss Jesse's strived to make something that would be effective and fresh. They are well known for their rich creams and conditioners that treat hair to an abundance of moisture. Every natural girl needs some of their products in their stash.

Their products help to protect hair from outside elements and give the hair hold and shine. They also provide a reasonable price.

10. CurlBox

The CurlBox is something that all naturals should give a shot. It is a monthly box that you subscribe to and receive a variety of products to try. Each month you get 4 or more hair product samples for only $20. Sounds like a steal, right? Trying out products for half the price, cant beat that.

11. EDEN Bodyworks

Crafted by an 11 year old who couldn't find products for her hair, EDEN Bodyworks is a must try. The products are infused with natural products to restore hair and return it to its natural state. EDEN products leave your hair feeling softer and healthier. You want regret introducing your hair to EDEN.

I hope that you'll think about these products the next time you come across them. They are meant for all types of hair to ensure that you maintain the most healthy hair ever.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
