Listen. Your natural hair is not properly thriving until you get yourself a satin hair bonnet! I’ve been using these satin hair bonnets by @thewrapchic_ for over a month and my hair is really holding in that moisture.
A few weeks ago I was about to make myself a satin bonnet due to my hair drying out when I use my regular head ties to sleep. I tried using two head ties at a time, yes I tied one over the other, until I decided to get the fabric to start constructing my solution to this dryness. However, my commitment to support local encouraged me to do otherwise.
Immediately, I thought of @TheWrapChic_ where you can get some vibrant, beautiful satin hair bonnets, among other accessories, which have been on my ‘to get’ list for a while.
I contacted Terrie-Ann, owner of the business, told her what I wanted and she presented me some options. She then convinced me to get myself two satin hair bonnets since it was my sister’s birthday. I chose an Ankara-print and a reversible two-coloured satin bonnet. While it was very hard for me to let go off the Ankara-print, it worked well to add to other items I got my sister for her birthday. She was more excited than I was to receive it.
The process to place my order and get my package was absolutely easy and one which will send you back to spend more money! Terrie-Ann’s customer service is top notch and her willingness to listen and respond in a timely manner is what we desire from other local businesses (ah whole other topic). I also have to mention the packaging of her products. Her branding is all over her items and a business card was also placed in the package. Well done!
Two other major selling points are that Terrie-Ann uses scrap or left over fabric to make reusable pouches as packaging. It also works as good way to store the bonnets if not in use. Also, she uses her very own pillow mist (which she mentions below) to add some fragrance to your package. Her mists come in a few different fragrances, but they smell heavenly. My package had a soft vanilla fragrance which I fell in love with and had to get one. She’s also offering new fragrances for Christmas.
P.s. I got some other goodies in my package which made me extremely happy. (Two hand made fabric covered button earrings and a headband also made from left over fabric). She usually will add something in a package if she can.
…once you have the idea, pray about it. Ask God if this business idea is in alignment with his plans for your life.
Take a read and learn some more about Terrie-Ann and her blossoming business:
1. Tell us about yourself and where you’re from.
Hi, I am Terrie-Ann Charles, I am a christian and lifestyle blogger. I am also an entrepreneur. I consider myself creative because I do bits and pieces of everything. I am a wife and mom of a 5-year-old.
2. These satin bonnets are life! They are not only for kinky-curly hair types, but all hair types to lock in that moisture. What led you start The Wrap Chic?
Thank you so kindly. I really appreciate your compliment! Actually, I started off with head wraps under the umbrella of, my formerly named business, Tailored by Terrieann which is now re-named Terrie-Ann. My love for fashion and style allowed me to be creative and I experimented with different colours, patterns, prints and with this newfound hobby it gave me an opportunity to create alternative style methods to enhance my wardrobe. I decided, why not share my creativity with other women who are looking for style accessory alternatives that will assist with their confidence. We started in that form then I realized that Tailored by Terrieann was evolving into a different platform and could no longer house “The Wrap Chic”. I decided quickly on a name, created a home for my new business, which by the way is growing leaps and bounds by God’s sweetest Grace.
3. How has being an entrepreneur impacted your life?
Wow! Great question. Being an entrepreneur has impacted my life in a real way. It has opened my eyes to see how harsh and evil the world is but has also allowed me to see how hard I have to work in order to get what I want. (and still is impacting my life). I can say now that I am learning the importance of balancing life on a whole. Being an entrepreneur has also motivated me to continue working hard towards my goals and never settle for less.

5. Were there any challenges you faced when you just started and what steps did you take to overcome them?
Oh yes, I experienced lots of challenges when I just started. Just to name two FEAR and seeking validation from people who had no expertise in business. I overcame every challenge with prayer and being consistent. Every time I failed I encouraged myself and kept moving.

This is a recent video I did with the beautiful @ShanellnKhan. Video was done by @HollyCharlesPhotos.
7. How did you go about funding your business?
I started this business with EC$60.00. At the time, I started this business I was working a full-time job, so I had a discussion with my husband the previous month, then the following month I took out EC$60.00 from my salary and started a faith journey.

All of the Women Empowerment Events I host is under the brand Terrie-Ann. This brand is catered to women, especially Christian women, to help inspire, empower and influence women to be elevated from Fear to Faith. To move past the perceptions and traditions created by “man” and to start to walk into our God-given destiny and purpose. This brand is also on a mission to connect like-minded women through Women of Purpose Empowerment Events that will holistically strengthen core areas of Prayer, Wellness, and Kingdom business building.
9. Any advice to anyone looking to start a new business?
I have loads of advice, lol! but I will give two. Firstly, once you have the idea, pray about it. Ask God if this business idea is in alignment with his plans for your life. Ensure you listen to hear what He is saying before you make any move. Secondly, once you get the right of away, START BY FAITH! God will do the rest. Believe me, this will work for you. I only wish someone had told me this before I had started and I would have avoided many challenges from the beginning.
