The Hair Project aims to raise awareness and contribute funds to support charities offering mental health support and providing growth opportunities to underserved communities across the United States.
Our core ethos revolves around a profound love for our planet and an unyielding respect for the environment. We firmly believe that taking care of the Earth is a collective responsibility that transcends our daily operations. In our pursuit of excellence, we are steadfast in our commitment to sustainable practices. Our foremost goal is to create products that serve as a testament to our dedication to environmental preservation.
Focusing on the positives helps manage negative thought patterns, fostering resilience and enhancing coping mechanisms. This mindset boosts self-esteem and motivation, leading to proactive actions and a continuous cycle of better mental well-being.
Positive thinking benefits emotions and physical health by reducing stress-related issues like high blood pressure and boosting the immune system. Optimism is contagious and improves relationships, creating a more balanced and fulfilling life. Integrating positivity into daily life enhances mental health and overall well-being.
12.22% of our net profits will go towards mental health charities each year on Dec 22.

Poshmark has been a special part of our lives since 2018. I would spend countless hours scouring thrift stores for clothing to upcycle into unique bags and pillows. During my searches, I often encountered “crown jewels” – high-end merchandise we had affectionately named. Douglas would often guide me to the best stores to find these gems.
One store in particular, located near his salon, was a regular stop for me. I would accompany him to work and thrift while he was busy with clients. We also took trips to Columbus and Cleveland, where I would scour thrift stores while he worked. These trips were special to me as they allowed us to bond, and I often missed him when he worked alone.
Throughout the years, I made several trips to New York City to thrift, and Douglas always supported me by helping me pack and ship my sales, even after a long day at work. He was always so proud of me when I found crown jewels and would listen attentively to the tales of my finds. He always reminded me, helped me order supplies, and shipped the packages when he was out of town.
Poshmark was a shared passion between us, and now, I feel closest to him when I am out thrifting. I believe he is always helping me find the crown jewels. I plan to donate some of our sales to help the underserved community thrive. I know giving back is something Douglas would have wanted.
