Selam Emiru, the founder of Glisen, guides Lilly on a hair care - and hair love - journey in this week's episode. Selam shares how her own journey of learning to care for her hair led her to use her background in tech to create Glisen - a free platform that offers women resources to help them understand, nurture, and love their hair. With the Black hair care industry set to reach the trillion-dollar mark by 2026, it is evident that Black women are spending more time and money than ever managing their hair. Selam helps Lilly navigate the vital conversation on how hair and its functions - as a source of beauty, culture, and identity - can also be a source of strength and power. They unpack an embarrassing hair story from Lilly's life, talk through Habesha beauty norms and hear from two of Selam's daughters what they love most about their hair. Most importantly, they explore how women can enjoy their hair by handling it in a manner that allows for ease and joy.
