Marietta, GA -- As we celebrate Black History Month, inventor of the PuffCuff® Hair Clamp and the first black woman to hold two natural hair accessory patents, Ceata Lash, stands out as a living legend who is blazing a new path in the hair industry. Her rise to success is chronicled in her newly released mini-documentary, which is accessible at www.ThePuffCuff.com. This documentary offers viewers a raw, honest story of how Ceata Lash turned her idea born out of personal frustration into a global empire for textured and curly hair accessories.

About 12 years ago Ceata decided to stop chemically straightening her hair. "I actually had no idea what the hair growing out of my scalp would look like, so I didn't know how to take care of it... Ever since the days of Madam CJ Walker, all we've ever known was straight hair," Ceata states in the opening of the mini-documentary.

After much research on natural hair styling, she found that most of the current hair accessories were designed with a bias towards straight hair. Ceata felt it wasn't fair and realized she was facing a problem bigger than just her.
