0Glynnis and Shelly Smith: Cultivating Culture and Curls with Meme Natural You
In the vibrant world of textured hair care, one sister duo is making their mark with an unapologetic celebration of Black beauty and heritage. Meet Glynnis and Shelly Smith, the visionary forces behind Meme Natural You, a Black-owned line of all-natural, plant-based hair care products that are flipping the beauty industry on its collective ear. Nestled in the heart of Kansas City, Kansas, these sisters have not only crafted the coveted Nutritional Hair Growth and Scalp Oil but have also woven a tale of unwavering determination, dedication, and cultural preservation.
Roots of Resilience
Their journey to success sprouted its first roots in 2018 when they founded Meme Natural You. Right from the beginning, their mission was crystal clear: to cater to the unique hair care needs of Black women and redefine the narrative in the world of textured hair care. Today, their products, which have found a home in hospitals, stand as a testament to the diverse needs and environments of their clientele, including children.
But this dynamic duo’s story goes even deeper. Glynnis and Shelly had already spent seven fruitful years as owners of a beauty supply store in 2000, followed by over two decades at the helm of Braid Heavens, a hair salon that achieved legendary status locally. Their remarkable journey has graced the pages of prestigious publications like Allure, Essence, KC Studio, American Salon, and numerous local media outlets.
The Crowning Glory: Nutritional Hair Growth & Scalp Oil
Their latest creation, the Nutritional Hair Growth & Scalp Oil, is more than just a product; it’s a love letter to their roots. “It pays homage to our cultural roots,” Shelly affirms. “This unique formula is designed to stimulate hair follicles, promoting growth, thickness, and hair strand fortitude.”
The inspiration behind this groundbreaking product is deeply intertwined with Glynnis and Shelly’s connection to their native culture in Guyana, South America. They recognized a profound need for a hair care solution rooted in their heritage, resulting in a harmonious blend of natural and organic ingredients. As the driving forces behind “Meme Natural You”, Glynnis and Shelly extend a warm invitation to all to embark on this extraordinary journey toward healthier, more vibrant hair. Their unwavering commitment to the Black community and their passion for preserving culture radiate from every drop of their products.
