It all began with a "Black" Cabbage Patch Doll...
CurlVault started in 1998, when our founder Chic discovered her love for textured hair while playing with her Cabbage Patch Doll...when they finally introduced the "Black" ones. She was only 9, but the moment her fingers began to plait the doll's hair, there was a rush of emotions - a dopamine hit - and she never looked back!
Fast forward to her sophomore year in high school, and by now she was working as a Salon Assistant to an award-winning stylist and entrepreneur. Having learned everything from hair chemistry, to angles for cutting hair, she knew that this would be the career for her. As she worked the shampoo bowl with passion, she got to know every head of hair and personality wearing it on such a level that she now understood why the industry is so predatory when it comes to textured hair.
These women were being so misled to thinking their hair was so ugly, unprofessional, and unmanageable that they came for that "cream crack" every 6 weeks.. even the ones who had what society would consider "good hair."
From those years until 2026, CurlVault was only a dream, living inside of Chic's head, but now, she can no longer dim its light.
CurlVault was birthed to be that brand that doesn't mislead women with predatory marketing, but provides real science and ancestor approved hair care products and tools to help enhance the wearer's experience and confidence to know that they are beautiful! As we move into the full launch of each product 1-by-1, let us honor what we have been given to grow out of our heads, and utilize some of the best natural hair care products in the world!
