What Happens When You Ask Me About My Hair | Myliek Teele | TEDxGeorgiaStateU
Growing up, Myleik Teele’s parents tried to shield her from all the dangers of the world, but they couldn’t protect her from her hair. Myleik shares her personal story to empower and encourage others.
California-bred innovator, Myleik Teele, has revolutionized the way women address their curly hair needs. As the founder of curlBOX, an exclusive monthly subscription box full of amazing products, the stylish entrepreneur has garnered partnerships with Procter & Gamble, Carol’s Daughter, Walmart, Target and Shea Moisture. Before creating curlBOX, the San Francisco State University graduate honed her talents for a decade in public relations. Teele worked with brands such as Calvin Klein Cosmetics, The Grammy Awards, American Idol and Nike, as well as music artists Prince, Linkin Park and Travis Barker. In 2010, Teele birthed Art of Facts Public Relations in Atlanta, Georgia. Naturally, Teele’s zeal for building brands would lead her to create the premier hair sampling box that’s developed a cult following of savvy women.

im so glad as a black woman that my Mom, grandmother, and aunts never made me feel that my thick course hair was not beautiful whether in it's natural state, hot combed or permed....my hair went through it all growing up and as an adult....now at 55 and for the past 20 years i have chosen to style my hair in it natural state and i would not have it any other way

Love what her curlbox is doing. Love how she is all about the metrics. She saw a need a filled it. I will be telling people who don't make their own stuff to get a curlbox!

Beautiful woman, smart and with business acumen: keep it up! I hope western Idea of beauty evolves to finally include all different types of beauty. I will always look up to women like you.... Thanks for this TED talk.

At this point we not waiting for the west to include us , they have an agenda sister... we are already included ourselves with out them. This generation of Black women don't need to be validated, beautiful woman indeed .
It is beautiful to see the big picture of what God sent this wonderful woman to drive her to a better place. Being multi-ethnic I just don't belong even though I am everything and it is nice to see hair addressed as hair because we all have different needs.
You're Amazing! !! Myleik for president!!! xoxo
I’m so glad that In 2019 the hair Isles for kinkier curlier textured hair is so much broader I can go in the store and it could take me a good hour to find what I need because of so many different things that to try for my type of hair and I love it
oh wow. I've been seeing ads from curlbox on my Instagram. Might just try it out after watching this Ted Talk
wonderful
The most inspirational and brave woman I've ever had the privilege of listening to...my only concern was that there was absolutely no warning given to the viewer before the graphic image of the depleted shelves of "hair relaxants" is put up!!!! I don't have children myself, but the thought of an innocent little kid of 18 or 19 accidentally viewing that terrifying photo is horrific.... but this is real life and maybe I'm wrong to want to protect kids from the harsh reality that there is simply more products to "add volume" to hair ,then there are products to "reduce volume" to hair.....
why would you want all those chemicals in your hair!
Ted ,,please ,,give us more research about hair ,,, it's important, hair loss,, what hair means to us... And lot more that we don't know.. I trust you guys... I sincerely take Ted talks...

If a hair salon was to create content what would you feel is valuable content!
I want that sweater she wore as a kid
I'm confused safe about what, what people think of your hair I'm confused!
Hm, was this a TEDx or was this a commercial for her company business. Either way...okay. I wish I were able to speak at a TEDx.
We must remove gender discrimination, it's time we end all hair on the top of anyone's head! Daily shavings will help empower the bald also. Too often hair can be a gender marker causing us to play into the false stereotypes of how need to people act. I know my hair is so long in the photo. I have to keep long to fit into this oppressive cis hetro biased society one day we will all be free of hair

Love Myleik but this isn't her lane!
science needs to improve so people can change their hair texture on a whim.
I want my 6 minutes and 19 seconds back!

yes, of course, she had washed her hair before, the point was that the community had changed. she said "no one else hair looked like that" meaning the white children in her new neighborhood. she didn't feel different previously in a community of people who looked like her.
