Marini Naturals: The haircare business that reaches 12 countries
In 2013, Michelle Ntalami's father was gravely ill with cancer. When his chemotherapy treatment made him lose all his hair, she decided to shave hers off in solidarity. As a result of this experience, she launched Marini in 2015, a natural hair care range for African women. However, Michelle soon realised that she faced "a heck of a job" to convince Kenyan women to give up their chemical hair straighteners and embrace their natural curls: "Most cosmetic scientists claimed that the African market wasn't ready for natural hair products, as most African women were still convinced that their natural hair couldn't be beautiful," she says. Yet her products managed to break through the market and change the game. Read more about her story by clicking the photo below.
