Ever know someone or some thing for a short time but it seems like they’ve been around forever? That’s how I feel about curlBOX and its founder, Miss Myleik Teele. While curlBOX is currently a staple in the world of brown girl beauty, this innovative brand has only been in existence for 12 months! To mark the one year anniversary of her curlBOX baby, Myleik Teele produced a video documenting her journey that’s BEYOND inspiring. Take a peek when you have a few minutes to spare and trust me, you’ll be ready to conquer the world. CONGRATS on a successful first year in business, Myleik. Here’s to many, many more!

As the beauty and brains behind curlBOX, Myleik Teele relies heavily on technology to keep her brand top of mind. Check out the PR maven-turned-beautypreneur’s 13 technology must-haves for 2013!

If you’re natural, you’ve probably tried just about every curly girl product on the market. Just when you think you’ve found the perfect fix, another brand hits the shelves that promises amazing natural hair and before you know it, you’ve invested another $20 or more on a product that may or may not work for your hair type. There’s got to be a better way, right? Myleik Teele has created curlBOX, an exclusive, affordable and effortless way to explore new hair care products delivered to your doorstep each month
