BLACK ENTREPRENEUR ELIMINATES BAD HAIR DAYS WITH HEADBAND WIGS THAT INSTALL IN SECONDS

Ashley Williams, is the founder and CEO of HeadbandWigs.com, the largest Black-owned retailer of high-quality, luxury headband wigs with 100% human hair and custom colors blended for the best natural look. Headband wigs, unlike traditional wigs, can be installed in seconds with no glue, gel, or lace needed.

Ashley is not a newbie to the industry. In fact, she has been a successful entrepreneur in the hair and beauty space since 2011. After selling thousands of traditional wigs and hair pieces to her customers, she decided to embrace headband wigs because of how easy they are to install.

"Traditional wigs can be very complicated and time-consuming for women to install," Ashley says. "Many women have to go to salons to get them professionally installed and this can be costly. Because of this, I think headband wigs are the new trend because they are so easy to wear."

After A Few Years Scoop Publications Still Looks To Inform To Help The Black Community RISE!

In the last few years my daughter and I have published, in our news blogs, over 3,665 stories on the dynamic things Black businesses and cultural institutions are doing in my home town of the legendary Southeast/Jamaica Queens, NY, and now globally Black issues.  Much of this has been done for free as a labor of love. More recently has this really become more of a viable business.

People ask me "why do you focus on Black news media?" Aren't you limiting yourself?

The reason I focus on positive news in the Black community is because the mainstream media exploits Black trauma for profit. 24/7 on mainstream media mostly what we see is responses to Black pain, cruelty, police brutality, criminality, and racial oppression.

When I was a grassroots activist I noticed we had to rely on the major corporate media to communicate our issues and causes. It became obvious to me that we as Black grassroots activists and advocates for racial justice and empowerment -- can't rely on corporate media to express our truth and story. After a link bait story and hot lead story for good ratings the major corporate media is gone.

However, we are here to show the empowering and critical issues that impact the Black community. So if you have a business or organization doing positive things contact us.
