Riley also shared that her desire to offer high-quality textured hair extensions to Black women is deeply personal.
“I remember having my first experience with extensions. My grandmother did this braided ponytail for me and I felt so proud of it. I went to school and one of my girlfriends said was cute and this little boy was like, ‘That’s not your hair’ and I was like, ‘Yes, it is.’ And he was like, ‘No it ain’t. It don’t match,'” she recalled. “I was nine years old and I had no idea that I would go into hair and become a stylist and really have these intersection points in my career where you know, grown women were experiencing these same things. They’re having to really cause damage to their being and to their hair in order to enhance it.”
