Cécred Beginnings

🐝🖤🤘🏻

I GREW UP SWEEPING HAIR IN MY MOTHER'S SALON. SO MUCH OF WHO I AM CAME FROM THERE. I SAW HOW SHE TRANSFORMED HAIR BY MIXING MAINSTREAM PRODUCTS WITH TEXTURED HAIRCARE.

It’s been my lifelong dream to create these hair products and bring some of my mother’s teachings to life. We started by prioritizing the needs of textured hair like mine and others who lack moisture and strength. It was important to honor past rituals while infusing our personal touch by adding advanced science to build new sacred rituals. The result was haircare defined by its performance, quality, and intention. Haircare that isn’t put into the same box others have tried to put me in as a Black woman throughout my career. Haircare that will keep my hair healthy despite how often I change it up as a performer—the coloring, high-tension styles, sewing, sweat, and buildup.

I built Cécred from the ground up. I poured into it everything I’ve learned throughout my life so we can borrow some of our past and bring it to the future. Cécred is about prioritizing yourself and all the things you hold sacred.

life is short you know? 

give all your love to the ones who deserve it. 

you can’t take it with you.

“At 15 the innocence was gone astray, had to take care of home at an early age. i saw mama crying, i saw daddy lying, had to sacrifice & leave my fears behind… 

For legacy. If it’s the last thing i do, you’ll remember me. because we got something to prove..

in your memory. on a highway to truth. still see our faces when you close your eyes.

 38 summers & im not in my bed.. goin so hard, 

now i miss my kids. 

overworked & overwhelmed. 

i might cook & clean - but still won’t fold.

still working on my life, you know.” 

i love this B🐝
