Im always on the lookout for new awesome brands and last week I came across Coily Haired Daughters.
Coily Haired Daughters was created by single mother Claudia Chileshe. She wanted to find a fun way to teach her daughter about proper natural hair. By normalizing natural hair she knew she could insure that her daughter love her hair for life.
Claudia spent a year developing the idea into what it is today. She began with Adi the natural hair doll with 4c texture. While they are some black doll on the market none could serve the purpose. If they had textured hair, often times it didn't reflect her daughters texture. She wanted something that would mimic natural hair as much as possible. Adi's hair can be styled just like human hair; heat styling included.
Adi was a great start but it didn't actually give her daughter the tools she needed to know how to take care hair. This is where the care kits came in. The world of natural hair can be overwhelming and confusing. There are so many products, tools and accessories out there. But what if it was all condensed into manageable pieces, with clear easy to follow instructions?
The first of many care kits is the daily hair care kit. This includes tools, accessories and products that one needs for daily natural hair care. Additionally, it includes an illustrated manual, which was co-written with salon owner and natural hair expert Alia Freeman.
The kits will come in 3 different sizes.
1st Doll size: this is the smallest of all the kits and includes items that are kid safe and can be used on Adi Doll.
2nd Kid Size: designed for parents to use on girls. Has doll matching accessories too!
3rd Adult Size: we know there are women out there who would love to embrace their natural hair but don't know how. This system is to help them do just that!
Overall Coily Haired Daughters is not a doll company, nor is it a hair company. We are in the business of building self-confidence and positive self identities. Coily Haired Daughters has a Kickstarter to help fund the first shipment of the Adi and the first kits. There some fun rewards for those who participate, call designed by Claudia Chileshe. Check out the Kickstarter here.
This doll is beautiful as it is needed in homes across the world to teach little girls self confidence!
