Striking + Strong

Training for a marathon? Getting ready for HYROX? Or just fitting your favorite workouts into a busy week? All that movement can mean more sweat and buildup on your scalp and more wash days to figure out how to keep your curls + coils hydrated.

We created the Wash Day Starting Line Up to make post-workout wash day easier. Reach for our Mighty Micellar Clarifying Shampoo when your scalp needs a deeper clean, our Step It Up Moisturizing Shampoo for your regular wash days, and our customer favorite, the Cool Down conditioner to condition and detangle your beautiful strands.

A simple routine for a fresh scalp and soft, hydrated curls, however you like to move. Striking + Strong-haircare made for your hustle.

I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous about sharing this number so publicly. Especially since many of you think I'm in my late 30s/early 40s. But I’ve never been one to let fear dictate how I live and I’m certainly not starting now.

Today, I turn 49. 🎉

Forty-nine years of lessons, laughter, faith, growth and becoming. Growing older isn’t something I want to hide; it’s a blessing I’m grateful to receive.

Striking + Strong was built from my personal story, so honoring what I’m building also means having the courage to show up fully as myself—the founder, the woman and now, the 49-year-old birthday girl!

Here’s to embracing every chapter, celebrating how far we’ve come and stepping boldly into what’s next.

Because 49 looks pretty Striking + Strong.

Football season is back and these Texas temps clearly didn’t get the memo that summer is over.

Between practices, helmets and all that sweat, your athlete’s scalp may need a little extra help. One mom put our Mighty Micellar Clarifying Shampoo to the test on her son’s locs:

“Got that scalp squeaky clean this wknd!”

Consider our Mighty Micellar Clarifying Shampoo the newest MVP in your post-practice wash-day lineup. It helps remove sweat and buildup without leaving your hair feeling stripped.

What’s one thing you’re doing just for you this Self-Care Sunday?

My husband loves introducing Striking + Strong haircare to his coworkers, so receiving this text from his coworker, Kaye, absolutely made our day.

Whew… to think I used to be embarrassed about picking up my own inventory. I thought building a “real” brand was supposed to look a certain way. Bigger team. Bigger operation. Someone else handling the inventory.

Meanwhile, building Striking + Strong haircare has looked a lot like this: me, my SUV, a trunk full of product and figuring it out one step at a time.

And you know what? I’m proud of this part now.
Because every bottle in that trunk represents something I had the courage to build. Every pickup means there are orders to fill, shelves to stock and curlfriends choosing Striking + Strong.
The founder journey doesn’t always look glamorous.But building something from the ground up with what you have?

Kinda chic.
