The brand emphasizes accessibility and sustainability, with many of its lines using plant-based packaging. What makes Skala unique is its combination of high performance and affordability — offering salon-like results at everyday prices. Over nearly four decades, Skala has built a loyal following for its inclusive, ethical, and effective approach to haircare.

Founded in 1998 by Michelle Breyer and Gretchen Heber, NaturallyCurly began as an online community and evolved into a leading digital platform for textured-hair education. Based in Austin, Texas, it provides expert-led advice, product recommendations, and hair-type resources for curly, coily, and wavy hair. The platform connects millions of readers globally and has influenced many brands in the natural-hair movement. What makes NaturallyCurly distinctive is its pioneering role as an information hub, bridging brands, professionals, and consumers through education and inclusivity long before textured-haircare became mainstream.
