Amelia Posely C.E.O of Amelynaire Hair Extensions offers good quality hair at an affordable price. As a single mother she continues to defy the odds and reinforces the notion that we can do anything we put our minds to do.
How long have you been in business?
Amelia: I have been in business since 2015.
There are many hair companies, but I believe that their stories separate them. What is the story behind Amelynaire Hair?
Amelia: I started my company out of having hair loss from an autoimmune disease. I wanted to find a way to cover my bald spots and thinning hair besides having to wear a scarf on my head or wear a hat every day. I wore hair extensions from different companies and my scalp became allergic to whatever the hair was processed with. I started having allergic reactions to the hair. For example, my scalp would swell up and I would get sores on my scalp that would bleed. After spending hundreds of dollars on that, I decided I was going to start my own hair company only selling raw unprocessed hair. I knew I wasn’t the only person tired of spending money on bad hair that didn’t last, not even with proper hair care. I also knew I wasn’t the only one suffering from hair loss from an autoimmune disease or hair loss. My confidence took a hit because of the hair loss but when I wear my hair extensions it makes me feel more confident. Now, I wear my hair out as well to give my scalp a break.
What advice would you give to a single mother who wants to start a business?
Amelia: My advice would be to find out what you love and what you’re passionate about and take the necessary steps to get started. Don’t allow fear, lack of support from friends and family, finances, or being afraid of what people will say about you to stop you. You will lose friends when you begin to grow but that’s all in God’s plan so that he can take you to the next level. Invest in yourself. Change the way you think and speak. Even if you are taking baby steps to do it God will help you and open doors for you. Step out in faith and pray every day, and lastly speak what you seek. What comes out of your mouth will manifest.
