After looking at the ingredients of creams for her child dealing with eczema, Janell Stephens, a mother of five and founder of Camille Rose Naturals , decided it was time to take matters into her own hands.
Stephens had recently transitioned from vegetarian to vegan and this helped her on her quest to create products that would ultimately become the popular natural hair care brand, Camille Rose Naturals.
In her kitchen in Louisiana (She later moved to Georgia), Stephens set out to create a vegan brand that incorporated total wellness. The health of the products and hair, she decided, was most important.
Using "foodie" ingredients, she created a line of cleansing, conditioning, and styling products for the whole family's hair needs. Camille Rose Naturals are for all hair types and textures. The products range from $11-22 and are sold all over the country. The best-selling Almond Jai Twisting Hair Butter is a hit among women who are looking for moisture and curls that last.
We talked to Stephens about the best-selling brand that you can now at Target and other stores nationwide.
