Simply Love-Leigh, LLC was establish in 2010 based on the love that I have for healthy hair and skin.
Why did you choose the name Simply Love-Leigh?
I chose Simply Love-Leigh because it describes me and the joy that I have for creating new products.Simply means* to be clear and visible; without complexity
Love means *unconditional, strong emotions for a person, place or thingLeigh means* from the meadow and it is also one of my grandmother's name.
What motivated you to start your own natural line?Well to be honest, I would have never thought that I would have started any type of business. But with that being said HERE I AM! I have been making my own oils and butters for a few years.
In 2009 I was rear ended twice in one week and I was left with nerve damage, back injuries, arm and wrist complications. It is a miracle that I am still here this day. December 2009 was a rough time for me, my grandfather had passed, I was extremely overwhelmed with school and therapy. I didn't trust anyone but my mom to help me with my hair so out of frustration, I decided to slap a relaxer in after being natural for 2 years and 7 months. I only allowed the relaxer to stay in for about 5 minutes
within a week my scalp was on fire and that's when I decided to transition again and use my own products . I made products based off of what my hair was demanding. I started to share my products with family/friends and I thought why not share with everyone???In August of 2010, I filed for my business licence, the LLC, and started my website.
What are Simply Love-Leigh's goals? My goals are to simply keep helping people care for their hair and skin. It is my goal to provide the best customer service because I LOVE WHAT I DO.
What is the best thing about having your own business?Being able to provide a product for my customers and to make sure they are satisfied with their products.
Tell us a about your product line? My product line thus far consist of hair/skin butters, salt scrubs, sugar glazes, lip balms, scalp oils, and bath oils.I use 100% natural ingredients .
Who is your natural hair inspiration? celebrities: Erykah Badu! She definitely does what she wants with her hair. I also like Jurnee Smollett, Jill Scott, Leela James, and India Arie.As far as natural hair anyone who is willing to wear their natural hair: curly, braided, straight,etc. I am inspired by naturals who are comfortable with themselves and their natural hair no matter what style they choose to rock!
What are some beauty secrets you can share?Don't try every product that people on hair boards rave about. Figure out what your hair needs.
What makes your products above the rest?I make custom orders based on the needs of my customers not based on what will sell. When you simply enjoy what you are doing, you strive to deliver a great product.
What is your current career? I would love to become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner one day but for now I am enjoying nursing school :)
What do you love about being natural?Simply being me! Curly, Straight, Kinky, Braided, etc....just being me and loving who I am.
How did your family feel about you going natural?My family was not supportive and I was constantly reminded of how my hair wasn't as nice as theirs. I honestly didn't care what they thought. After I did the big chop the first time and my hair grew to MBL, everyone was shocked! Healthy hair and technique is what matters. Now some of my family are using my products and asking me for advice!
What can we expect to see from your product line soon? I am currently working on a deep conditioner, soy candles, hair gel, body wash and lip gloss!

Jacqueline Durr Person |
I am from Mound Bayou, Mississippi it’s one of the largest African American cities in the United States. It was founded by a former slave in the 1800’s.Today the town is in poverty and the schools have lost their funding and the children in the schools are reading books from the 1980.
That is why I started the JFK School Supply Drive I collect school supplies in Atlanta, GA and take them to the children of Mound Bayou, Mississippi. Most of my support comes from friends, family, co-workers and the community; this event gets bigger and better every year this year JFK School Supply Drive gave 200 bags of supplies to the children.
All White Benefit for JFK |
If anyone would like to donate school supplies to the children in Mound Bayou, MS for next year you can call me @ 678-463-9845 if you would like to give monetary donation you may send it to 3810 Rex Mills Square, Rex, GA 30273 all checks payable to John f.
