Founder Friday: I didn’t start Hairbrella because I loved hats

Hi Hairbrella Family,

I didn’t start Hairbrella because I loved hats.

I started it because I was tired of planning my life around my hair.

A little rain on the way to an important business meeting could undo the style I’d spent hours getting right. Swimming on vacation came with a calculation. Even taking a nap on a plane meant wondering what my hair would look like when I landed.

There was always this little question in the back of my mind:

Is this worth messing up my hair?

I got tired of letting the answer be no.

Hairbrella started with rain, but the bigger idea was always freedom—making it easier to say yes to what I wanted to do without immediately worrying about my hair.

And once I saw the problem that way, I started seeing it everywhere.
