We had the good fortune of connecting with Mich`-Love Pierre and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mich`-Love, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
I have been natural for almost 8 years now, and I was a product junkie looking for the right hair product for my dry 4c hair. I felt in love with the holistic living and found myself reading every single product label that I was using and noticed that some of them was mostly difficult to read and full with toxic ingredients. Lover of DIYs I decided to make my own hair products in my kitchen. Through many trials, errors and building knowledge along the way and sharing my recipes with friend and family they encourage me to come out with my line. What began in the kitchen with a desperation for a safe and effective product soon became the beginning of something exceptional for the natural hair community.
Negès Banda launched in 2019 and has since provided clients with the best to instill the confidence and positivity they deserve.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
At Neges Banda each of our product combine the transformative power of benefit-rich ingredients known to deliver the best results. .

The diversity of our products , our Caribbean touch , our unique and innovative
formulas made us different from others because we wanted to address the specific challenges of multi- textured hair care.

Our high quality plant infused line combines our passion for self love and determination with a mixture of old fashion, backed up by science to bring the absolute new blend that was missing in the natural hair community.

Our products are handmade, vegan friendly made with just amazing ingredients and infused with love!

It’s not easy building a business from the ground up. I still have some struggles to overcome but The Lord is my shield, my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
Strength doesn’t come from winning.
Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide to not surrender, that is strength.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely take them to the Mercedes Stadium to catch the game with the Falcons or to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. They have some seasonal exhibits that are out of this world. Other places worth visiting would be the Lenox Mall, The Georgia Aquarium, The Coca Cola museum and the MLK museum as well.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

I want to dedicate this to God first and foremost. With his mighty hands, he moved mountains for me so I can be where I am today. To my mom for inspiring me. To my husband who believed and supported me and my ideas since day one.
To my cousin Edgina for her expertise and guidance.
