Before & After
OVERNIGHT TRANSFORMATION
The Story Behind the Flower Curl
My hair journey was very much inspired by my parents. My beautiful mother was on a mission to strengthen my very thin hair by cutting it bob up until the age of six. When I started to realise how short my hair was, I asked if I could grow my hair longer and my father encouraged me to do so until my locks reached my thighs! Every time I was due a trim, my mother would measure and trim my hair and then my dad and I would check to see how much my mum cut off!
At the age of 17, I decided to enter a competition and I longed for big, voluminous curls so I booked an appointment at the hairdresser and asked to have my hair curled for the event. The hairdresser prepared my hair and set a bunch of rollers in, on the morning of the event and she advised me not to remove them up until the evening. I was so excited to see the hair curling results but I knew I had to wait until it was time for me to go up on stage as I already knew how much my hair struggles to hold any curls.
Well, as you can see from the picture, my hair doesn’t look like I’ve had any rollers in that day, (ten hours plus to be exact). Although, I did get a couple of flicks here and there which I was not too impressed about.
This particular picture and how much time I spent at the hairdresser and how uncomfortable I was throughout the whole day, really stuck with me and from then on, I was on a mission to find a hair curler that could curl my hair beautifully.
Nine years later, and I still haven’t found a hair curler that could create beautiful long lasting curls. I tried curling tongs and other heated hair curlers, but the curls only lasted five minutes and by the time I stepped out of the house my hair was completely straight again, not to mention all the split ends that I had after just one use. I also used a variety of different rollers and other heatless hair curlers but I either found them difficult to use, time consuming, super uncomfortable or my hair got tangled in the products which also ended up damaging my locks!
At about 8:30am on Tuesday 10th November 2015, I was on my way to my office job and I had a light bulb moment for a new heatless hair curler. As soon as I got to my desk, I grabbed a piece of paper, drew what I had in mind and put it in my handbag. I could not wait to get back home to make my very first prototype.
I got so excited and I just knew in my heart that my idea was going to work and I spent months making & testing different prototypes and refining the idea in my good old shed.
I wanted to create a hair curler that met my very long list of standards and that I simply could not find on the market and in any other hair curling products. I found many of the other hair curling products outdated, bulky and uncomfortable. I realised that there was an opportunity for a new heatless hair curler that many women will absolutely love and would want to try.

Why is Pollination so important?
Why is Pollination so important?
The Vital Role of Pollination in Our Ecosystem
Have you ever stopped to consider the important role that pollination plays in our ecosystem? From the plants that provide us with food to the flowers that bring joy to our lives, pollination is a crucial part of our environment. Let's take a look at why pollinators are so important and how we can help them continue their vital work.
What is Pollination?
Pollination is the process by which pollen grains are transferred from one flower or plant to another. This process enables plants to produce fruit and reproduce. Without it, many species would be unable to survive. There are many different types of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, beetles, and even bats! Each of these creatures help ensure that plants can spread their pollen and reproduce.
The Importance of Pollinators
Pollinators are essential for maintaining biodiversity in our ecosystems. They play a key role in providing habitats for other wildlife, such as birds and small mammals. Additionally, they are responsible for the reproduction of flowers and plants—many of which provide us with food or medicine. In fact, 80% of flowering plants rely on animal-mediated pollination! Without this process, our planet would be drastically different—and certainly far less beautiful.
How We Can Help Pollinators
Fortunately, there are things we can do to ensure that pollinators remain healthy and abundant. Planting native species in your garden will attract more bees and other beneficial insects; providing nesting sites for birds or bats is also a great way to give back to nature. You can also reduce pesticide use; this will not only help promote healthier pollinator populations but will also protect your own health! Finally, creating “pollinator pathways” with wildflowers or other native species can link up fragmented habitats and give these animals more room to roam safely.
Pollinators play an incredibly important role in maintaining our ecosystems' ecological balance—from providing food for other animals to enabling plants to reproduce—which is why it’s so important that we do everything we can to protect them! By making small changes like planting native flowers or reducing pesticide use around our homes or businesses we can make sure that these crucial creatures remain healthy for years to come! With just a bit of effort on our part we can create an environment where both humans and animals alike thrive!
