Karen Mitchell was born in Jamaica and at a young age, her family moved to the United States to live the American dream. Right out of community college, Karen scored a job with a private label fashion manufacturer as a receptionist and after the first year, she was promoted. She found herself climbing the ranks rather quickly and was able to travel abroad and learn new things.

Officially launched in 2006, True Indian Hair is known for its quality and consistency. Offering hair bundles and wigs in a variety of lengths and textures, the company is especially revered for its Deep Curly Hair Extensions, which Mitchell points out “cannot stay in stock.” The highly coveted and carefree texture helps you recreate on-trend looks without damaging your natural hair.

Hype Hair: Marlo Hampton & HER Wig Slay
If you’re a fan of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta, chances are you know each of the cast members and their friends on the show. One of the most notable acquaintances is Atlanta tastemaker and entrepreneur Marlo Hampton, who is known for her designer-studded ensembles and flawlessly-styled tresses. In fact, her perfectly-styled coif had become her calling card on the show.
Yass.. Thank you Elle Magazine. We must admit our extensions are really great.
Why we love it: A celebrity favorite brand, you’ve seen this hair on Serena Williams, Solange Knowles, Padma Lakshmi, and Lizzo to name a few. The hair is 100 percent virgin cuticle hair, culled directly from the root. True Indian Hair is also super reusable and can last six months to a year or longer with proper care and storage. True Indian Care is also a black-owned business started by Karen Mitchell, a hairstylist who has been in the game for over 14 years.
The details: The hair comes in textures of straight, wavy and curly and in natural tones of black and browns.
If you buy one piece… The True Signature collection hair. This hair was featured on the cover—yes cover—of Lizzo’s album.
