Cynthia Romain's Story

My name is Cynthia. I am a client of the Florida Women's Business Center in Delray Beach, which helped me develop my business roadmap.

Haircare is a passion I had since age 9. I always wanted to learn how to best take care of my ethnic hair early on. I remember being the first person in my inner circle and in my school to boldly wear my natural hair out. The compliments were flowing, and that helped me build more confidence and feel greater love for my natural roots.

I learned so much about hair over the years. My own haircare struggles pushed me to try many different methods and treatments to tame my hair as it became more difficult to handle the longer it grew. At the time, the clean ingredients awareness movement was on the rise. And so, I became more aware of what I was putting on my body, and I set out to transform my haircare routine and only use products with clean, safe, and natural ingredients.

Unfortunately, the lack of available and effective natural hair care products made this difficult. I wanted to find brands that used only clean ingredients and smelled amazing. Realizing that the market was limited, I decided to create my own haircare brand and make a difference.

During the 2020 Covid lockdowns, I took time to reflect on the mark I wanted to leave in the world. Thus, Coyalz Haircare was born. I felt it was time and I opened my company to offer clean, safe, premium, and natural hair care products to all. More importantly, I want to help individuals with textured hair around the world, by choosing more natural hair care products and putting their health first. Becoming a staple brand you can trust is a big goal of mine.
