Transcript excerpt
We are officially closing month down. Tier the last eight months, we have desperately tried to revolutionize the world of hair. By replacing damaging powder, greasy clay, flimsy sea salt with one life changing solution. Washes out with just better, lasts all day. We restyled at a most notice. The issue? Well, Big Hair didn't like it. They tried to block us launching in America, tried to steal our formula, and they even tried to sue us. Well, we aren't quitters, and that's why we need your help. As of today, a plane full of mont disguised with one letter change landed in our warehouse in New York and LA. And if we don't sell out out due to the risk of us bringing it tier, unfortunately, we will be gone. So America, get it while you rank.
