LASHWhen I went natural, finding suitable accessories for my thick, natural hair was challenging. Most products cater to straight, fine hair, not my coily, thick hair. These accessories caused pain, damaged my hair, and frustrated me. In 2011, my 99-year-old grandmother, who was my heart, moved in with us. Reflecting on her peaceful acceptance of her impending death, I questioned if I would have similar peace in my own life. To pursue my dreams, I decided to give PuffCuff a chance. PuffCuff LLC was launched in August 2013, and the first PuffCuff was sold on Amazon.com in February 2014.Ceata has been reported as the only African-American woman to possess four US patents for natural hair styling tools.● REGISTERED TRADEMARKS● DESIGN PATENT: USD715997S1● UTILITY PATENT: US9585453B2● DESIGN US PATENT: USD870378S1● DESIGN PATENT: US29/755,980WHO WE ARE?PuffCuff LLC is a minority woman-owned business that started in 2013 with a simple idea: create an alternative to elastic bands by offering easy-to-use hair clamps for naturally curly hair that create stylish updos, buns, and ponytail styles without causing headaches or hair damage.
