17: LIKE EATING CLEAN, BUT FOR YOUR HAIR - Oemi, Curls & Mentorship w/ Allison Shimamoto
Description
In 2011 Founder and Creator of Oemi, Allison Shimamoto went natural. Taking the leap was a no brainer. Finding products that worked for her type 4 coils was the challenge. Most natural hair curly products are designed to ‘work’ with all curl patterns. But those products left her type 4 coils dry, flat, and rigid.
Fed up with the so-called natural products on the shelves, Allison made her own natural products at home. Perfecting her natural hair care craft for over 7 years then bringing Oemi it to the world. A unicorn product for all those rocking the type 4 curls.
Allison took her passion for Type 4 curlies, what the food industry does for clean eating, and transforms natural hair care with her brand Oemi. A product so natural (and delicious) you can eat it (just don’t)! Shoot...you can even slather it on your skin. We love a good 2 for 1.
With Allison we talk:
- Side hustling
- Branding for the culture
- The science of the curl and textured hair
- Oemi , the brand, the myth, the living legend
- Importance of having people up, down, and sideways that believe in you
PLUS
- Traveling while curly
- Juggling all the things
- The state of PoC hair care
- And what’s next for Oemi & Allison
