As a mother of a son and two young daughters, Mary Bolar Washington noticed that harmful chemicals were damaging Black women and girls' hair and self-esteem. That's when she created Black & Bossie® at her kitchen table in 1982.

Black & Bossie® continues Mama Mary's legacy with hair care products to inspire confidence for all the ways you express yourself – natural, relaxed, and protective styles.

Inspiring Confidence Since 1982™
