The Evolution of Shea Moisture: From Haircare Icon to Controversy | Hair Culture Podcast

Описание: How did Shea Moisture go from selling handcrafted shea butter on the streets of Harlem to becoming a global icon in Black haircare? In this debut episode of the Hair Culture Podcast, we explore the roots, rise, and challenges of one of the most impactful brands in the natural hair movement.

Discover the story of Sophie Tucker, the legacy of Richelieu Dennis, and the defining campaigns and controversies that shaped Shea Moisture's identity. From its revolutionary product lines to the backlash that left the community divided, we unpack what made this brand a cult favorite—and what caused its most loyal fans to question their allegiance.
