We had the good fortune of connecting with Charlene Carter and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Charlene, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my brand was, keep it simple. Alot of harmful chemicals are in hair care products that can cause health problems. I wanted to create something that was healthy and as close to natural as possible.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Curly Queen I Am LCC is more than a company. It is a lifestyle. We represent confidence, passion, and dedication. Curly Queen I Am LCC produces natural hair care products that are good for the whole family. Minimizing the use of chemicals, our products are made with all-natural ingredients focused on healing the scalp, maintaining moisture, and promoting healthy hair. We are most known for our products Hair Serum, and Life- a hair refresher. Hair Serum helps to heal both scalp and hair from dry and itchy scalp, brittle hair, and hairloss. Life- a hair refresher is good for adding moisture, detangling hair, used as a braid spray, refreshes curls, and a host of other benefits. As a company, we are most proud of the positive feedback in knowing that our products does exactly what it promises. What sets Curly Queen I Am LCC apart from others is that we care about the healthy hair journey of everyone. We develop products to assist with giving a solution to the everyday struggles. Also offering hair tips and advice to maximizing their hair results.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love being close to the water. We would definitely be outside for some time. I like to relax at the beach or park and enjoy the outside air. Definitely eating! I love Mexican food so we would definitely check out some local favorites. Live music is a must. Whatever concert and/or festival that are playing is always fun. San Pedro port, Marina del rey, are a couple of my favorite areas to visit. Los Angeles is a melting pot of people, which I love! It is so many places to visit no matter what your scene is. You will never get bored.
