Founding OrganiGrowHairCo was a Universal cosmic design. I had just gotten off of a tour, to my daughter who was begging me to straighten her hair because girls at school were teasing her for having curly hair. I decided in order to encourage her to embrace her beautiful luscious locks I had to wear my own.

It all started with an extremely bad haircut. I was fed up from years of awful extensions and color damage from coloring. My hair was dry brittle, lacked volume, strength, length, it was a mess.

As the daughter of a musical savant, Hubert Laws, Kay Cola grew up with an artist's discipline. Her father is arguably one of the greatest flute players in jazz, which was critical in her development as a musician. Cola says she brings that work ethic into the studio when she is singing on tracks for superstars like Eminem, as she did his 2010 track "Not Afraid."

Kay Cola may be a recognizable name for some. Before launching her successful haircare brand, OrganiGrowHairCo, the entrepreneur was a songwriter who worked with some of the music industry’s biggest stars, including Eminem and Dr. Dre, and was nominated for a Grammy.
