In 2011, Trudy Susan was ready for a change. Feeling frustrated by her look, she squared off with her reflection and
chopped off her hair, instantaneously trading her shoulder length chemically relaxed tresses for a teeny-weeny afro. But
returning to her natural roots proved to be more difficult than she expected.
Although tightly coiled hair is common among black women, hair trends, maintenance tips, and style ideas for her ultra
kinky, type 4 hair were hard to find.
!
Recognizing there was an unsolved problem in the market place, Trudy leveraged her marketing skills to solve that
problem. She launched 4c Hair Chick to serve as the ultimate online destination for women of color with type 4 hair. In
less than seven months, she built a thriving community of over 12,000 Facebook members and 7,000 YouTube
subscribers, making 4c Hair Chick the most popular destination for women with type 4 hair in the world.
!
The explosive growth of 4c Hair Chick only confirmed Trudy’s initial belief: women crave information specific to their
own hair texture
!
Although 4c Hair Chick primarily offers hair education and inspiration, Trudy firmly believes that the natural hair
movement is about more than hair. To her it’s about falling in love with yourself and owning your beauty. Gone are the
days of society dictating what is beautiful. 4c Hair Chick subscribes to a belief that there are no beauty standards.
Community members are taught that they are beautiful and that beauty cannot be defined by any media outlet or any
society. God is the author and creator of all people and he made no mistakes.
