Ep.173: Defying “Anti-Frizz” Culture ft. Maeva Heim of Bread Beauty Supply
If the creamy conditioner, silky hair oils, or adorable “puffs” (AKA scrunchies) created by Bread Beauty Supply’s Maeva Heim have yet to grace your Instagram feed, trust me - you are missing out. Born as a biracial Black girl in Australia and raised by a mother who owned her own African hair braiding salon, there was no question that Maeva was set to make a unique mark on the world of haircare. And so after searching high and low for a textured haircare brand that wasn’t corporate, confusing, or impersonal but that could still provide premium quality ingredients, Bread was born. Tune in for an incredible discussion on growing up Black in Australia, launching an “it girl” brand in the middle of a pandemic, and the beauty of redefining the rules for textured hair. Enjoy!

Tune in for this special 2019 throwback episode with Into the Gloss’s Senior Editor Ashley Weatherford!

“Clean beauty wasn’t a thing for me. Clean beauty is all I knew.”- Nyakio Grieco
Back in 2002, before clean beauty was cool and before Black-owned beauty was considered a mainstream selling point, Nyakio Grecio set out to bring her Kenyan grandmother’s coffee scrub to the masses. Growing her eponymous brand Nyakio was of course no easy feat, but after experiencing the racial tension of last summer, she knew that her work could not stop there.

Tune in to hear her journey to launching these brands, learning to prioritize self-care, and so much more. Enjoy!
