Europa, Africa, Azie, Amerika… Mixed Chicks komt niet alleen overal vandaan, maar gaat ook overal heen. De wereld wordt steeds diverser en Mixed Chicks viert dat. Hier is het verhaal van twee van de vele miljoenen Mixed Chicks:
Jarenlang hebben multiculturele mensen van winkel naar winkel moeten reizen om een combinatie van haarproducten te vinden om het haar te temmen. Wendi Levy en Kim Etheredge, twee Mixed Chicks, hebben een kappersproducten lijn gelanceerd omdat zij dat zelf nodig hebben. Toen is er iets gebeurd... Vrienden en familie zetten hen aan om het te verkopen en al snel hadden zij een volwaardig bedrijf. Na deur aan deur verkoop, een aantal celebrity endorsements en veel online groothandel verkoop presenteert Mixed Chicks nu haar product aan de wereld!
Over de twee Mixed Chicks achter Mixed Chicks (engels):
Kim ETHEREDGE (Los Angeles)
I grew up in los angeles, entertainment capital of the world. Sun, water, fun, convertibles...this is a beautiful place, but it is hard on hair. Participating in all of these everyday activities was a privilege, but try blow-drying your hair to style — now that was a nuisance, not to mention bad for my hair. In a place obsessed with looks, my life was hell. My hair is naturally curly, but I never would wear it out because I had to use too many products to get the look. I had to search from one end of the store to the other to concoct a combination for my "unruly hair." That was not only a pain, but expensive too! Lucky for me I met Wendi.
Wendi LEVY (New Jersey)
I am mixed. I have coarse, tightly curled hair on one side of the family tree and straight, limp hair on the other. Growing up on the east coast, there were black neighborhoods, white neighborhoods, a puerto rican neighborhood... everything was segregated. Even the stores were segregated: black section, white section; no in between. When kim and I met we were laughing about our common problem. The idea of making our own product seemed silly at first, but two years later, MIXED CHICKS was on the map.
