Little Roots was born from a conversation between two friends. As Angie was working her magic on Mbali’s crown, Mbali wondered out loud, “How can I ever do what you do on my daughters’ hair? Your hands are magical.”

Angie laughed and, in her true self, humbly said that many people can do the basics if they just learned the proper technique and knew more about types of hair and products.

So Little Roots was born. A community of caregivers who care deeply for their children and want the best for them and their hair care.

With Angie at the training helm and Mbali on the community expansion, Little Roots offers hair care workshops for caregivers, profiles healthy products and aims to raise awareness about healthy hair care for ethnic hair.

Mbali is a C-suite operator who has founded numerous ventures and witnessed the growth of organisations with exceptional impact in Sub-Saharan Africa. She has and continues to be a business leadership coach, responsible for multi-million dollar team coordination, and, most importantly, a mom of two gorgeous girls.

Mbali and Angie have been friends for nearly a decade, and they bring their common values and care for the growth of the next generation to this exciting venture.
