Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Deundra Jones.

Deundra, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?

I have been doing hair since I was 13. I was more so into the weaves vs natural hair. I went natural after I had my son in 2012. Fast forward to 2020 after having my daughter I started testing my oil. I suffered from postpartum hair loss after having my daughter. My daughter had a dry scalp and I wanted to prevent her from getting a cradle cap. After I noticed that my hair and my six months old daughter was constantly growing. I continued to use it on other family members. I started officially selling the Growing Oil in March of 2021 and two months later in May of 2021, I started selling the Growth Trio which is our Shampoo, Conditioner and Growth Oil as a set. From May 2021 until January 2022 I continued to sell my products locally. March of 2022 I launched my new website and since March 1st to now we have shipped to over 30 states and the U.S Virgin Island.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has definitely not been an easy road. Last year my main focus was just to get my products out there. I’m talking about inboxing different celebrities to doing giveaways just so people could see that my products really work. I never knew the importance of marketing until this year. Keeping up with inventory. Last year I would sell completely out of oil before it was delivered to me. But I really appreciate all of those lessons but it has definitely made me a better business person.

As you know, we’re big fans of Ebonique Goddess. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I started my business in 2021. Ebonique Goddess is an all-natural hair care product line. Our haircare line specializes in hair growth. We are known for our Growth Trio. Which is our Moisturizing Shea butter Shampoo and Conditioner and our lavender Growth oil. We are different from other brands because our products work on all ethnicities, all ages (four months &up) male or female, hair on your head to facial hair. I am most proud of how fast my brand has been able to expand our customers from being a locally owned business to being nationwide in just a few months. Our products are for anyone struggling with hair growth. We have customers with, Alopecia, psoriasis, dry scalp, postpartum hair loss, and hair loss due to medication. And our products have helped their hair grow back better than it was before.

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
That I am actually a shy person. I post a lot on social media so people may think that I am this person that loves to get in front of people and talk. But I am not. I do not like to speak in front of large crowds. I get so nervous.
