My concept came out of a problem that needed solving, explained Marantz, who founded the company, NiteCap, to sell her so-called invention that was already being used by millions of black women every day. It inspired me to create something of my own.

(14,531 posts)A black friend recommended a silk pillow case. It helped a lot. But still on the dry side. Now I know why. I don't have a $98 silk head wrap, sold on the GOOP website, invented by a white woman. What was I thinking?
