About us

My company is WealthyHair.com and it was founded in 2007. The reason it all started was because I was working for a large commercial property company located in downtown Jacksonville FL as one of their accountants. Which I originally thought was going to be a great career because I graduated the University of Florida with my Finance major degree and moving here originally from Kenya in 1999, and I thought that this should have been the American dream to land a job like that.

Then reality hit me because it was an extremely stressful job and with working over 70 hours per week, I was really wanting to find something else to do with my life that would be able to give me my time freedom back along with my sanity. How the whole idea of having a hair business began was when I was planning on getting married to my wonderful husband (Thomas) and I wanted my hair to look fabulous for my wedding, just like every girl out there. 😉

But it felt like finding a needle in a haystack would have been easier than finding high quality human hair weave extensions! Plus the prices were incredibly high, especially back then!

I went from one beauty supply shop after another to try and find some really good hair weave, but to be totally honest I was treated quite poorly and felt almost not welcomed at most of them which really left a lasting impression upon me and drove me even harder to wanting to start my own hair company so I could treat women the way I wanted to be treated.

So I started off doing a lot of research online on blogs and forums and saw that I wasn’t the only one feeling frustrated and tired of paying so much money for quality hair weave extensions. It was at that moment that I thought this is a real need that wasn’t being met for so many women around the globe!

I felt that I knew a lot about hair extensions because I have been wearing them since 1994 but I wanted to learn everything I could about the hair industry. So I just jumped in headfirst and began searching for the source of where the human hair was coming from, so I could know exactly what I was buying and to get the direct contacts of the people selling it (actually auctioning it) for the lowest possible pricing without all of the middle men getting their cut, so I could keep our prices as low as possible and under price any of our competitors that were selling the same ultra high quality hair. Which surprisingly even now, there is still only a handful of them out there that actually sell the same level of hair quality as we do and they are still charging an arm and a leg for theirs, which has been great for us!

I can tell you that was a huge undertaking and quite costly to find! But I felt like I was on a mission, so I took my husband and my 1 and a half year old daughter at the time (Amelia), and we traveled to multiple countries for 3 months straight, to accomplish my goal of finding the best most natural unprocessed virgin remy human hair directly from the source so we could help out all of the other women out there to get the same amazing quality virgin hair that I wanted for myself, and at an extremely fair price. Our main focuses are providing the highest quality 100% virgin remy human hair weave extensions at affordable prices.

We are also very proud of our newly launched Hair For Hunger program. Our company is all about helping out and helping people feel beautiful, like our slogan Look Good & Do Good! For every purchase, we feed, give clothing, school supplies, and much more to local orphanages in Kenya, Africa. We also support a non profit dialysis clinic in Kenya that provides kidney dialysis for the Kenyans who would otherwise not be able to afford the expensive treatment. We feel that it is very important to help people that are truly in need and we keep taking steps to try and make a real difference.

Wealthy Hair Promise

The true virgin remy human pony tail hair that we collect comes directly from only one hair donor and it’s sometimes referred to as cut hair. The majority of human hair sold in the industry is not true virgin remy human hair. Did you know that as long as they have only 50% human hair in their product they can call it 100% human hair?! It could be mixed with synthetic hair, animal hair, and who knows what else! We felt that was very dishonest, unethical, and that goes against all of our company values! So we decided to do whats right by you and spend the extra time and money it takes to find only the top level quality of true virgin remy hair out there.

Also with most companies, the hair cuticle has been stripped by using an acid-bath, but not ours. We put a stop to this so that the hair cuticle stays intact, and therefore the hair is stronger and does not tangle up like most others.

What type of Virgin Remy Hair do we Use? We only use Single Drawn ponytail virgin remy hair. Unlike double drawn hair that is trimmed on both sides and is prepared from comb waste hair that is collected in villages, barber shops and in houses, ours is cut and trimmed on only one side at the point where we cut it from the ponytail. This insures that all of the hair is in one direction. So that means all the roots will be at one end of the hair bundle. This high quality process allows for a very small percentage of hair to be outside the specified length of the bundle. This processing keeps the hair from tangling after it is bleached or dyed. This is very popular in Europe with the high quality hair extensions and that is why we have adapted this type of processing for our products.

Our goal is to make you feel more beautiful and confident by providing personalized real hair solutions that feel and moves just like your own hair. We believe that the only person who should know it is not your hair, should be you and perhaps your hairstylist.

With over 53,000 weave hair extensions already sold, we continue to grow primarily by word of mouth and referrals from licensed cosmetologists from all over the world.

We have over hundreds of lace closures, lace frontals, 360 lace frontals, and weave hair extensions combinations to choose from or to create and our hair experts will always do their best to assist you in the creation of your new look.

Whether you need help with how to start your own hair business, or looking for a wholesale hair vendor our skilled hair consultants can help with any question you have and we offer suggestions on how to take care of your new hair and share tips on the best products to use when caring for your hair.
