About Us

We created Product Junkie with the idea that natural hair shouldn't be that complicated and wearing your hair exactly as it grows out of your head should be a joy rather than a hassle.  Whether you're transitioning, newly natural or have been rocking your curls for years, this is the community for you.  Join us as we make naturally curly hair mainstream!

Amaya Smith

Hi I’m Amaya,

And I’m a natural hair product junkie just like you. By day I work as a communications professional at a non-profit that works to advance equal pay for women, abortion rights and access to health care.

I started my career in politics and when I went natural it was always a big deal in the conservative workplaces of Washington.  These days it’s totally normal to see women across the workplace wearing their hair natural and taking charge.

While I love to shop for products any old place – I thought it was past time that women of color got to shop in an experience that is for us and by us.
