✏️ This School Year, Let’s Skip the “Bad Hair Day” Hall Pass. Rainy-day frustration hasn’t changed — but now, there’s a better way.

Hi Hairbrella Family,

Back-to-school season always takes me back — fresh notebooks, squeaky oxfords, perfectly sharpened pencils (do kids even use these anymore, or am I just showing my age?).

 And then there was the rain. My arch nemesis.

Growing up in the South, I was no stranger to surprise storms — but it was during my time at Spelman that the rain became personal. I was growing out my perm, just starting to get silk presses, and learning the hard way how fast your hair could go from polished to puffy. One misty walk across campus and it was a wrap.

That frustration? It wasn’t just a bad hair day. It planted the seed that would become Hairbrella.

And here’s the kicker — with all the technology we have today, you’d think weather apps would be more accurate. But somehow, they’ve only gotten worse. 😭

Rainy-day frustration hasn’t changed. But how we deal with it? That’s where we come in.

Whether you’re walking across campus, standing at the bus stop, or sprinting through the carpool line — here are my Top 5 Back-to-School Hair Essentials to keep the whole family protected and polished:

P.S. One of my favorite moments last week was seeing a mom post her son wearing our sleep cap. The comments were full of love — and reminders that boys deserve hair protection too. We’ve heard you loud and clear: it means so much to now have the whole family covered. 💛
