Dawn Myers founded Richualist to address the historical neglect of textured hair in the beauty hardware industry. Inspired to create a solution after noticing a lack of products for natural curls, she developed the Mint hair tool. The device uses refillable pods and warming technology to detangle, condition, and style curly hair in minutes, drastically reducing breakage and transforming the wash day experience.
