In the season 2 finale, we had an amazing conversation with Sinovuyo Mondliwa, content creator and founder of Love Kinks. I absolutely loved Sino’s honesty in the lessons she has learned in building and scaling “Love Kinks”. The conversation was raw, practical and filled with so much insight! I loved that Sino understands her customers and is able to refine her ideas based on what the customer needs. “Love Kinks was specifically created with your healthy hair journey in mind. Love Kink’s goal is to celebrate our innate beauty and love our hair in its natural state. Love Kinks echoes that healthy natural hair is achievable and it is not a chore.” Love Kinks offers hair care range (Hairline Serum, Hair Oil and Conditioning Moisturiser), satin doeks, satin pillowcases, satin hair ties, satin bonnet and satin. I truly hope that it will help any entrepreneur on the verge of building and scaling their business or ideas.
