What If Your Braids Are Harming Your Health? Inside Dosso Beauty’s Clean Haircare Revolution

Written By Keri Henderson

For many of us, we’ve been wearing braids since we were kids. What we didn’t know at the time (or maybe we did subconsciously) was that the hair we were using was poisoning us. In this eye opening episode, I kick back with the founder of Dosso Beauty to chat about the explosive growth of the non-toxic braiding hair movement and the Consumer Reports findings that sent shockwaves through the beauty industry.

Kadidja Dosso shares her personal journey from experiencing allergic to creating the first clinically-tested, non-toxic braiding hair brand. We dive deep into the myths surrounding hair washing techniques, the health risks facing both consumers and professional braiders, and the future of the clean braiding hair industry.

Whether you're a beauty lover, entrepreneur, or just tired of the itch, this conversation is your reminder that the products we use should protect us, not harm us.

In this episode:

  • What’s really in most braiding hair (and why it causes irritation)

  • The science behind Dosso Beauty’s clean, non-toxic solution

  • Kadidja’s strategy for manufacturing, marketing, and retail

  • How storytelling, press, and purpose helped scale her product-based business
