Meet the Visionary Behind Curl Queen: Nai’vasha INTL

by Naivasha Grace 20 Mar 2026

 

In the world of textured hair, expertise matters. While many haircare brands are created by corporations or celebrity endorsements, Curl Queen stands apart because it was created by one of the most respected curl experts in the beauty industry: Nai’vasha Grace.

Nai’vasha is internationally recognized as a celebrity hairstylist and curl specialist, known for shaping some of the most iconic natural hair looks seen on red carpets and editorial spreads worldwide.

Her client list includes some of the most recognizable women in entertainment and fashion:

  • Tracee Ellis Ross

  • Alicia Keys

  • Lupita Nyong’o

  • Serena Williams

  • Yara Shahidi

  • Janet Mock

  • Simone Biles

These women trust Nai’vasha with their curls because of her deep understanding of natural texture, scalp health, and curl structure.

From Hollywood Stylist to Haircare Founder

After years of styling for fashion magazines and global red carpets, Nai’vasha realized something important. Many haircare products simply weren’t designed with textured hair in mind. As she worked backstage at fashion shows and on editorial shoots, she often had to mix products together to get the right moisture, slip, and curl definition. That gap in the market inspired her to create Curl Queen.

Her mission was simple:

Create expert-level curly haircare products that replicate the professional techniques she uses behind the scenes.

A Brand Built on Professional Expertise

Unlike many haircare brands developed in labs without real-world testing, Curl Queen formulas are rooted in decades of hands-on experience with textured hair. Each product was designed to support:

  • Curl hydration

  • Moisture retention

  • Scalp health

  • Breakage prevention

  • Gentle detangling

The line uses ingredients like Manuka Honey, Chebe Powder, Murumuru Butter, and Black Cumin Seed Oil to nourish curls from root to ends.

Why Curl Queen Is Different

Many brands focus on styling products.

Curl Queen focuses on hair health first.

The system is designed to help curls become:

  • Softer

  • Stronger

  • More manageable

  • More resilient over time

This philosophy is why Nai’vasha’s work has appeared in major fashion and beauty publications including Vogue, ELLE, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar. Curl Queen’s innovation has already been recognized at the highest level.

The brand’s signature tool, The Glove, was named a 2024 Allure Best of Beauty Award winner, one of the most prestigious honors in the beauty industry. This award is based on months of rigorous testing by editors and experts across thousands of products, making it a true mark of performance and quality.
