Entrepreneurship is rarely a straight line. Many founders started in very different careers before eventually landing in their area of expertise. This is no different for Daphné Eastmond, the Montreal-based founder of Frizz + Co., a line of hair care specifically made with textured hair in mind.  

As a Chartered Professional Accountant, Eastmond had worked in the financial industry for nearly five years. The continuous struggle with her natural hair eventually led to the development of her own product line for textured hair and eventual exit from the financial industry. As a result of her entrepreneurial endeavour, she was able to learn to love her curls—and help others do the same. 

GLORY sat down with Eastmond to learn about her journey into entrepreneurship and how she has embraced both her natural hair and the uncertainty that comes with starting a new venture.
