When I decided to change my lifestyle and make the transition from relaxed to natural hair, I discovered that it was impossible to find accessories that suited the thickness and texture of my hair.
When searching in stores and online, I realized that most accessories on the market are designed for straight, thin hair - NOT for my naturally thick, coarse hair! Existing products took my hair to the smallest point of resistance, creating "rabbit tail hair" (not a good look for a grown woman), hair breakage, accessory damage and pure frustration for me! I was determined to find a solution, but it just didn't exist. As I became more aware of other African American women going through the same transition - all with the same hair texture and hairstyles, it became clear that we all had the same need for an easy-to-use styling tool. A little more research showed that there were others - men and women with curly hair, locs and braids - who had the same styling problems. Then the concept of the Puff Cuff was born.
Puff Cuff in different sizes
In the fall of 2011, I was blessed to have my 99-year-old grandmother come live with my family and me. She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and was near death. My grandmother was my heart and I loved her very much. In our quiet moments together; I often wondered, 'Did she do everything she wanted to do in her long life? Has she already pursued her dreams? 'The answer was a resounding and confident: 'YES'. She had peace of mind knowing that her time was near. So I thought, “Would I be at peace with how my life would turn out if the Lord blessed me to live up to her age?” Knowing that if I put this idea on the shelf and left it at that, I might not live to be 99, I might not have the same kind of peace my grandmother had when death was at her door. I decided I had to at least try. If I failed, I wouldn't try. So here I am! PuffCuff LLC was launched in August 2013. The first Puff Cuff was available for purchase in February 2014.
