What we aim for


Jigee Curls is a hair care brand for curly hair that was born from the desire to help people love their hair more.

We aim to create a society where all people with curly hair living in Japan can be confident in their hair and enjoy its natural beauty.

"It doesn't have to be straight. Your curls are a part of who you are."

Jigee Curls wants to be your partner in bringing out the individuality and charm of your curls.

founder

Alexis Ryoko, owner of Jigee Curls, was born to an African-American father and a Japanese mother. Growing up in Japan, she struggled with an environment where curly hair was not well-understood or accepted, and has been straightening her hair for 13 years.

The days when I hid my hair in order to be "like everyone else"

However, when she was 18, she met friends who were proud of their curls, and for the first time, she was able to accept herself as she was with her natural hair. From then on, she spent over 10 years researching her own curly hair, trying out different methods of care and styling. She felt a strong need for hair care that suited Japan's climate and lifestyle, and launched Jigee Curls in 2023.

Curly hair study session held

Since 2022, we have been holding curly hair study sessions across the country on an ongoing basis for children who are troubled by curly hair, their parents, and people who feel confused about their own hair.
