HAIRCREDIBLE BY TAMMY REESE
Tell us about yourself? My name is Lavada Wright and I am Founder and CEO of Haircredible, Author, Creator, Wife, and mother of 6. I am born and raised in Jersey City, NJ. I have an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice and as of this past year I am now an Award Winning Beauty Entrepreneur and proud to have made history in Target! What inspired you to become an entrepreneur? I started Haircredible due to my constant hair loss with not only alopecia but postpartum as well stress and anemia. When in search of the right product that can help my fine hair strands, it was extremely stressful with all hair care lines catering to “All Hair Types”.

I decided to do something about it and started my research. In 2014 Haircredible was in the works and once I found the perfect formulas... I launched Haircredible Hair Care. Tell us about your business? Haircredible Hair Care caters to Fine Natural Hair and Thin Hair in the Multicultural and Ethnic Market. We are the first and only brand that specifically
caters to fine and thin hair to launch in the “Textured Market”. How long have you been in business? Although I started this a couple of years ago, I finally made Haircredible an LLC and was up for business in 2016.

There would be more powerful woman at the table then powerful men. What advice would you have for woman wanting to become an entrepreneur? Entrepreneurship is hard and you will get defeated multiple of times. My advice is finding a mentor, but most importantly finding a counselor or therapist. Your mental health and staying level headed when going through the sacrifices, hardships, and failures is super important. YOU WILL FAIL MULTIPLE TIMES! However learning cope methods and how to bounce back is everything and not everybody is strong enough to get out of depression on their own.
Where is your business located? We currently reside in Bayonne NJ. What does women empowerment mean to you? Woman Empowerment means everything to me because when I started haircredible I had no mentors or anyone to help me through my journey. So I try to be the
