Our Story
OUR MISSION
It’s our mission to help you indulge in your hair care regardless of where you are in your journey. Each of us has our challenges and triumphs with our naturally curly and afro hair, but that doesn't mean that we can't have Wash Day Joy too.
Our hair is more fragile and more susceptible to dryness and many of us have hunted high and low for products that will deliver exceptional results for us. We strive to provide, not only these products, but the advice and guidance you need too.
OUR INGREDIENTS
We curate a collection of products that you can trust by prioritising high-performing plant-powered products. We even use them ourselves so that we can better support you and help to transform mindsets around natural hair care.
These products are non-toxic and are sourced from curl-conscious brands that have an invested interest in serving our community for the long term. They are committed to providing hair care solutions for problems they have faced themselves.
OUR JOURNEY
ODYSSEY BOX was founded by Chloé Elliott with a mission to put effective, safe and luxurious Black-owned hair care brands centre stage.
She wanted the support of Black-owned brands to become embedded in our community purchasing habits. As well as, curly hair care education to be more accessible for people of all ages and at all stages of their hair care journeys.
We coach women with straight hair so they feel more in control caring for their kids afro hair. We advise women with short, greying hair how best to keep it healthy, because not everyone is striving for long flowing locs. We source safer options for allergy suffers. We represent those on the fringes of the natural hair care movement.
ODYSSEY BOX goes further than just providing you with a product, or one of our bi-monthly subscription boxes. We seek out the causes of your hair concerns and find innovative ways to address them. We are community oriented support system.

Our Founder
I am an award-winning business owner, a mentor, a public speaker and a creator, and the first Curl Clinic accredited Curl Specialist. I lift small business owners up as we work towards more inclusive working and learning environments for people with naturally curly and afro hair.
I find fulfilment in helping people in all stages of self-discovery and self-education. I created the ODYSSEY BOX subscription box to be made available every other month.
The reason being that we live busy lives, and a bi-monthly delivery window offers a more convenient way to discover new products as well as the time to get the most out of them.
Curly hair care is not a trend. We partner with brands that are in it for the long-haul, those who care as much about supporting their communities as we do. I hope you enjoy all they have to offer.
Best wishes,
