Michael Baisden Puts The Black Hair Industry on Front Street

A shout out to Michael Baisden and Aron Ranen   … for continuing to bring the critical condition of the Black Hair Industry to the attention to millions of listeners.  This time, we heard the beginnings of an action plan aimed at bringing Black hair salon owners, suppliers, distributors, and everybody else interested in helping to make the change a reality together.

Mr. Baisden has promised to continue to work toward bringing Black-owned Hair and Beauty businesses back to our community.  In his own words, he said that early next year, he's going to "blow it up", meaning  spreading the word to his 12 million listeners.  If he's going to do all that, what are you going to do?   Read more

 Who is We Care Worldwide?
(and what have they got to do with the Black Hair Industry?)

For years We Care Worldwide, Inc. has been talking and acting on the need for Black people to practice Economic Reciprocity – the practice of doing business with those who support our businesses, organizations, and communities.  We’ve incorporated this principle in our Youth Entrepreneur Training, our business practices, and just about everything else we do.  We Care Worldwide developed the Black Hair Project as a case study for the students in their Young CEOs program.

The Business of Black Hair:  Getting Started

If you want to have a Black Hair business instead of a bit’ness the first thing that you have to do is, if you haven’t already done so, is get a good business proposal.  All the screaming in the world, all the boycotting, and anything else you can come up with is not going to take the place of this very basic step.  Ask anyone – who operates a real business – and you’ll get the same answer.  Read more

Keeping it Natural

Let's applaud our Sisters who decide to wear their hair beautiful and natural. 

This is a growing segment of the black hair  business.   

There are many companies that focus on  products created specifically for the care and styling of natural hair.

Let us know if you're interested in bringing this wonderful service to your customers?  We can get you "how-to" information and more.

Not Recommended!  We’ve already begun to hear it seeping through, so cut it out.  We say to ourselves, our partners, and to you – we can’t afford to sweat the small stuff.  That’s why it is so easy to hold us back as a people.  Let’s concentrate on our own goals and objectives, our shared vision, and the success that we all wish for this journey. If there is something specific that we need to be on the lookout for, let us know.  We know how to be discreet, yet get the message across.

If your clientele happens to expect more, and can afford it, you need to think about providing a service that lets them see what a style will look like on them before trying it.  The magic of this software also lets you show them what they’ll look like with a total facial makeover using their own photograph as basis for determining their new look.  Let us know if you’re interested.

The Total Woman: Pantyhose that Transform

Divine Dzion, one of our partners, offers top quality  panty hose developed and manufactured for “women of all colors and shapes.”  That is a politically correct way of saying that these pantyhose make women of color, petite or gloriously big and beautiful, look like the queen they are.  We all know that when women come to the shop on Friday evening or Saturday, one of the hot topics is getting pantyhose for Sunday Service (and sometimes for Saturday night).  Of course this product can add to your revenue streams.  Tell us if you’re interested.

Industry Organizations

There are two Black Hair industry organizations that have emerged as most familiar.  Because so much information has not been widely disseminated, there could be other organizations that we don't know about.   We hope you’ll help us uncover others, if they exist.  Email us with your information at: info@blackhairproject.com.
