🚀 On Day 9 of #ScaleBlack for #BlackHistoryMonth, we're celebrating a visionary entrepreneur who took hair protection into her own hands—with patented innovation and style! Meet Tracey Pickett, entrepreneur, inventor, attorney, and Founder & CEO of Hairbrella—the first satin-lined, waterproof rain hat designed to keep hair flawless in rain, sleet, or snow. ☔️🧥 From Frustration to Innovation Like so many women, Tracey struggled to keep her hair protected from rain and other inclement weather. Tired and outright frustrated by makeshift solutions, she knew it was time to take matters into her own hands to create her own. After 65 prototypes, countless trials, and a whole lot of determination, Hairbrella was born—a perfect blend of style, technology, and function. Before Hairbrella, there wasn’t a stylish, effective way to keep textured hair safe from rain and humidity. So, Tracey designed one: 🔹 Inventing a patent-pending, satin-lined waterproof hat 🔹 Securing $500K in seed funding from Collab Capital and $100K from angel investors, including Bronner Bros. 🔹 Grew Hairbrella’s sales by 700% during the pandemic, selling out multiple times 🏆👩🏾‍🦱 Hairbrella is Leading the Future of Hair Protection Hats off—unless it's raining, then grab your Hairbrella!
