These Products Were Made to Fight Hair Loss from Weaves & Color Damage
Jesseca Dupart is one to watch. After a devastating fire in 2014m she was led to launching a new haircare product line. She calls it Kaleidoscope Hair Products. The focus of the brand is to help clients who were experiencing hair loss caused by weaves and color damage, and to recover with flourishing new hair growth. Kaleidoscope is one of the fastest growing brands in the haircare industry, due in part to their retail partnerships with CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and more.
Jesseca spoke about her entrepreneurial journey, hair growth tips, and her faith in the article below.
Miracle is one of Kaleidoscope’s most popular collections. This collection includes 5 staple products and the Miracle Drops Hair and Scalp oil. In this collection, the same formula is used as the best-selling Miracle Drops oil.
Do you remember how you felt about your hair while you were growing up?
From a young age, I can remember cutting and styling my dolls’ hair. One fond childhood memory I have is sitting on my dad’s back and filling his entire head with barrettes. He would let me play around like that all the time. Somehow that grew and by the time I was in middle school I was doing all of my friends’ hair along with my own.
How would you describe your entrepreneurial journey to creating Kaleidoscope?
That’s the best way to describe it as a crazy whirlwind. What started as something I was offering to my clients (I was a hairstylist for over 20 years) became something that retired me from the chair. Learning to leverage social media while offering products that work proved to be the perfect synergy for growth. I have enjoyed taking over social media over the years because it has allowed me to be creative unapologetically.
When reopened your business after the fire in 2014, what were some business strategies you applied to the new salon?
- Fiscal responsibility
- Marketing
- Also letting go of any fear!
In your opinion, what are the most important ingredients in hair care?
Your best-selling product is the Miracle Drops which focus on hair growth. What was your inspiration for the Miracle Drops line?
With our customers loving Miracle Drops (Original, Extra Strength, Coconut), and Miracle Drops already being in our edge pomade and leave-in conditioner, it was only a matter of time before we extended the formula to the entire collection. I figured this was the best way to conquer two of the most common hair concerns – length retention and lack of moisture – all at once.
Hair growth is an essential focus for your brand and products, what has your experience been with hair growth?
Like many, I have colored my hair multiple times, and for the most part I am able to bounce back. It was the last time I colored my hair in particular that almost forced me to transition to be fully natural. It has been quite an exciting journey growing out my curls. During this time I did a lot of research to develop the perfect formulation for the Miracle Drops Collection.
