it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of. Getting the talk about this is not common for me. Right now I need it more than ever. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. you're done. Morning everybody is DJ NVV.

Just hilarious. Charlemagne de Guy. We are the breakfast club. Long Rose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Who we got? Who we got? Crystal Renee Haysley. Welcome.

How are you feeling? Hey, good. Good. Good. Good. Bless black and highly. Listen, amen to that, Charlemagne. You always hustling. You got a new hair can line. Unapologetic.

Yes. Yes. Unapologetic is a launch that I'm doing with ORS. It launched today. We are here in New York. Tonight we're going to be in Times Square. Congratulations.

Doing some giveaways. Got a billboard. I'm just excited, man. This has been a year-long journey, getting it right, and we're here finally. Why the name Unapologetic? Honestly, it was so long that it took me to actually embrace my hair and really understand what worked for it, you know? And I talk about this story.

One day, I face-time my dad like every day. And any girl who has natural hair knows by day five is like a big fro. looks a little crazy but most of time people like when you think it's crazy it's time to watch like oh my god I love your hair my dad answers the phone he goes what is wrong with your hair and I said oh my gosh I was like dad I was like do you know how long it's taking black women to actually embrace their hair and I was like and how many women would literally cut off their left foot to have this much hair on their head and I was like this is why women go to resort to the perms or resort to other hair styles and he was like I never thought about that and in that

moment it allowed me to become more unapologetic and just really own it. Yeah. And that's why we did unapologetic. I love me. Yeah. You work with a black female chemist. I did. Yeah, that was important. Listen, she's so good. That was important because understanding our hair textures, you know, and we got in there and I was trying to different products, making sure they mixed together. I've been doing my hair of myself since the third grade. And then I went natural in 2010. So I used to be in the kitchen doing YouTube videos, making and some avocado mask for my hair trying to really take care of it.

So when I went in there, I already knew like, okay, I can't mix this together because it's going to leave flakes on my hair the next day. I wanted to make sure that it was right for all hair tights. Because you go to these, you go to the shelves and it says all hair cut your types. And it ain't for all types. That's why I got on the hat today.

Still trying to find. So unapologetic, I'm going to call you. I brought you something. Thank you. I got to call. I got you. I got you. Do you feel like you having to prove yourself

a third time because you had to prove yourself as a stylist you had to prove yourself as an actress now you've got to prove yourself as a hair care professional you feel like you'd having to prove yourself a third time it's not proving Charlemagne it's more so just stepping into spaces I'm passionate about and making sure that I have the science to back it up so then when we do put it on the shelves there's nothing to prove

the science speaks for itself yeah so I don't feel like I'm proving but we definitely gonna show up I think a lot of time I don't think men respect it like your father didn't until they got to deal with it right when I have to take it But I had to take my daughter's to dance, and I ain't know what the hell I was doing, and I was trying to comb, and it was going left, and I was trying to make it go right.

And, you know, at dance, you got to have a slick back. And that's, and my daughter's hairs is curly, and my wife's trying to tell me what to do. And you don't want to hurt them when you're combing their hands. Oh, my God. I was the whole thing. I don't think you understand until you got to do that. Because I ain't know what it was. Then my wife told me, go to CVS and get this product, and then there was no products for, it was difficult.

Yeah. It was difficult. Because it was no products for us. Like, for black and brown. Not at all. So it was very, very difficult. So when I was going to say, so when you got the chemist, how does that work? I've always been pretty curious about that.

Like, how do you decide what's going to work for what type of hair? Yes. Do you try it immediately? Because you can try some shit that just fuck your hair up immediately. Right. So what's that process? That's a great question, Envi. So the lab was actually in Chicago.

Namaste Labs, which is where ORS, their offices are. So we go to the lab. They had already started working on some products. So I literally went in there with a dollhead. a wighead and like started using the products on it to see how it worked and I'm the type of person I can fill it until up this doesn't have enough slip on it this I need some more water to this this is too thick so when I started trying I was like all right we need this is it mix as well but I feel like we need a little more activated with the gel to really make the curls pop and so we I went home I was so excited y'all I was like I'm gonna do a YouTube video just showing the people to process listen y'all I put that stuff on my hair it didn't do what this is doing I was like, yeah, this ain't it. So we literally had to go back to the drawing board saying, hey, we need to add more water. We need more nutrients, some oil.

I need the shine. I need some more thickness to this. I was like, I'm not a moose girl. You know, a big fella, Big West back here, he just to add water. He can throw some water on it and some moots and be fine. I need the gel and the moose and the leave-in. And so figuring out all the products that you can work together, but it did not work that first time.

And we had to go back to it and get it right. I love that you're so hands-on Yeah Jess, I'm so big on making sure that whatever I put my name and my face on A lot of people are just like Oh yeah, figure it out and I'll just throw my face on it No, like whatever I put

I need to believe in it It doesn't matter even if you call me for a brand partnership If I don't eat it, if I don't use it If it's not something that fits into my everyday life That I can really get into I can't put my name behind it So this is something serious Because what you're putting on your head

Is seeking into your body I had to make sure that it was clean I had to make sure that it worked So this, yeah, putting my name on something I had to be very hands-on with it But I'm hands-on with everything My team will tell you They probably like

Why the name? Unapologetic Yeah, so, yeah I just asked her that Oh, I didn't hear him Yeah, that was a whole story She just explained the whole thing Yeah, yeah, like

Just rewind a little bit, like, as it was wrong I didn't hit half a lot It's okay I'm sorry, I heard the answer I didn't know that was the question Yeah, yes, yeah I thought you were talking about your pop No, though he's the reason why.

No, he's the reason why. I started being more intentionally unapologetic about my hair because of that comment. Like, what is wrong with your hair? You know, it's interesting. I say that to my daughters all the time. I always say, I don't know why, but I always tell them that they got beautiful skin and beautiful hair. Yes, that's important. That's good.

I'm glad you do that because they go out into the world and they don't always feel beautiful or seen. So the fact that you're instilling that at home is very, very important. Kudos to you for that. And why did you partner with ORS? Wow. So this actually started off as a brand partnership. A lot of us are influencers and people call us. to get behind their products.

They had called us to do a reel, just an Instagram reel, because they saw me doing my hair. They're like, oh, she'd be great for this product. And Ashana Ayers being who she is. She was like, yeah, we're not interested in selling squares on Instagram. Let's build a line. And they were like, actually, we do have a new line that is in ideation and Crystal would actually be perfect for it.

So it turned from a reel on Instagram to building a line, having equity in the company, and really building something bigger than what it could have been if we had to just be like, oh, yeah, we'll do the Instagram post. So that is YORS because they wanted to initially work with me. But if you think about it, I'm not sure if you guys remember, they still have it, the green olive oil oil scene back in the day. Like, this is that company.

They're known for perms. They're known for their relaxers, but now they're branching off into the natural hair space. So to be a part of that growth for them is important for me. How about, well, first, Cardi was just talking about. about that with her brands and a lot of the brands that she's working with. But being in a celebrity space, like trying to build something that is, she can give to her kids, like builds legacy and her decision to start doing that. Yes, so important.

Ownership is everything and you can't build legacy without ownership, you know, because you can do something, but if it's not yours, there's nothing to pass down. So I think that's very important. I love what Cardi's doing. And a lot of people talk about how saturated this space is. But I feel like it's so much room for everybody. Right. Yeah.

Especially because not every black girl's hair is the same thing. same as the next. Exactly. So I think it should be more, you know. Just speaking to that, too, because a lot of the curly girls are biracial. They have like a different type of texture than the real black girl. Yes. So that was important to me too to show like, hey, you may not have that texture, you know.

And sometimes it's like, I wish my hair was like that. No, your hair is beautiful. And with the right products, you can have your curls too. We all have different curls, you know. But to be able to be unapologetic about it and own it was a big part of it. And that's a big part why I want. wanted to do this too because I don't have the biracial hair. I have like

real virgins. I know the biracial is going to be like, what do you mean real black girl? When I said real black girl in time, it's a different it's a big different. It's a big. But we have something for them too. Like they can use the moose, you know? Like I, it's for

everybody but also for the girls who don't feel seen in that space where they put stuff in their hair and like it ain't doing what it need to do. Yeah. I love that you said that because my hair, buckshot. Do you know what I'm saying? I understand when it's too dry. You're, you say day five, day two.

Like, child, but my daughter, can we see? Can we see? No, do not do that. That's what I have on it. But you want her to be able to see so she can get some proper advice. No, I'll see what I try to prod up. Don't play. She got to know what she got to recommend.

I don't need to know. They watch it. Now I'm on TV. I ain't got time. Now, my daughter. Say, don't you reach for her hat. My, my. She was trying to slap your hat off.

That's crazy. Don't do that. But no. No, my daughter, she is, you know, mixed race. And her curls are not as bucks. Hers, she ain't got the buck shots. But she has the, you know, the racial head. Hers is, but so you said it's not, like, my hair is way thicker and more coarse

nerves, but like, they have. Big West's hair. Yeah, yeah. So my daughter's like that. I call it Adwater hair. Yeah, so unapologetic. We should throw some water on this. Unapologetic brand, your brand, y'all do have products for me and my daughter, basically.

Okay. Yeah, for your daughter, I would do the moose. Okay. Yeah, because soon as something touches it, it curls up. Immediately. Yeah. Yeah, so you don't need a lot for that. Good to know.

I'm glad that we're having a texture conversation. Yeah. A lot of us be scared to have it. Yeah. And I don't know why. Yeah. Because the textures are different. They are.

Yeah. It's like an elephant in the room. Yeah. But why, though? Like, it's very obvious when your texture is different than the other end. We went through that whole era of good hair, bad hair. Remember when Chris Rock did the whole thing? Yes.

And people were trying to have the conversation then, but now I just, feel like, especially with beauty brand owners, they never actually get into textures and the difference between them and why there's like stigmas and like the, almost like the battle in between the textures. Yes. Yeah. I think probably because, you know,

people, you don't offend anybody, you know, but it is like, it's the reality of it. You know, and I think as a hair care owner is just making sure that we have something for everybody. Yeah. Yeah. Is it true? Is it true if you lose your curls, it's hard to get them back? You got to cut it off. It's so hard.

hard, especially for heat damage. I've done the big chop like three times. Really? Heat damage, because I go through these phases where I want my hair straight, you know, but I don't want to put a perm in it. So I'm constantly putting heat on it. My hair, by the time, like day three of just putting heat on it, I can already see the curl pattern loosening up. So I've had to do the big chop because it'll grow back, but it's coming from the root. So you got to get all the damaged hair off. So it can really flourish and make a conscious decision. I'm not going to put heat on it.

Gotcha. Yeah. And how often do you have to, I guess, maintain your head and make sure those curls stay. Yeah, honestly, I do weekly deep conditions, and that's another thing with natural girls, like, especially my type of hair, I have to condition my hair because it gets dry fast.

I have to use a lot of oils to keep it shiny, because your daughter, her hair is naturally shiny. It's got that luster. Ours, we've got to add something to it. So for me, at least once a week, I'm deep conditioning, making sure I'm giving it that extra care that it needs. How long? Because people do

understand, the natural hair journey, like, styling it, whatever, that's stuff takes hours and your hair is long and thick and it's thick. Yeah. How long does it take for you? I've gotten it down now, girl. I can wash and have it like wash in style because I shingle my hair. I section off and like literally have to pull it with the gel together to make the curls pop.

And that takes about an hour and a half. Oh, wow. I sit in the dry and kind of let it set because it takes forever for my hair to dry too. Yeah. Like if I don't let it, if I let it air dry, it'll take two days for my hair to dry because it's so thick. Yeah. Yeah. But you got it down in 90 minutes?

Yeah. I mean, I'm going to do, too, too, too, too, too. Wow, that's how long it take me with this little bit of shit, girl. I'm putting in every like, how? But you're new in your journey, though. You're new in your journey, though. I am, you know, and so it still takes me some time. And it's the years of me like figuring this out.

16 years. Yeah, so that's how you got it down to say. The newest tracks, let's go. New music. And the next big thing. Always on the new music first. Your first place to hear it all. Because you're going to like it, love her want to play it twice.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast. My latest episode is with Noah Kahn, the singer-songwriter behind the multi-platinum global hit stick season, and one of the biggest voices in music today. Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success, his struggles with mental health and body image, and the fear of starting a game. after such a defining moment in his career. It's easy to look at somebody and be like, your life must be so sick. Man, you have no clue.

Talking about the mental illness stuff, it used to be this thing that I was ashamed of. I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be unhealthy physically or in pain in some emotional way in my life to create good music. If someone says that I did a good job, I'm like, yeah, I'm good.

Someone says that I suck. I'm like, I suck. Getting to talk about this is not common for me. and right now I need it more than ever Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty On the IHart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts So I've been doing this for a long time

Like figuring it out Remember when Sarah Jix took her stocking cap off And it was so inspirational And you can do that right now And be so inspirational to people I'm telling you I swear up Where can we find this

Or when can people find it? Right now Right Everybody can't call you. But yes, right now it is on orrs.com. You can go to unapologetic or you can go to Amazon but we're sending people directly to the site. They are already buying it.

Yeah, they've been up since 9 o'clock this morning and purchasing because it dropped at 9 a.m. this morning. How was it working with Ashana? Because Ashana is a legend I'm glad. Say it again. No, for sure. Before you is, you know what I realized today? She comes from the label family.

She got you on a label run right now. No, for real. Yeah, you're doing, you got to do a freestyle before you leave too. Ashana got you on doing radio, she got your top square. You got, why? You got to go right. No, this, listen, this lady right here, both of them, West and Ashana, I'm so blessed to having my team.

I was saying yesterday, you know, sometimes that you have people on your team that kind of undermine you and you'll have these ideas and it kind of like, I don't really know if you should do that. There's been nothing that I had brought to them where they weren't like, okay, let me make a phone call. All right, we're going to set this up. Yes, I love that. Like, literally whatever I, I,

I want to do whatever God has planned inside of me, they help make it happen. And this was just another one of those dreams that literally I'm living right now because of this woman behind me. I mean, it's rare to have executives that still just want to be executive. Yeah, yeah.

Like now you got executives that want to be talented. Yes, for sure. Dancing all in the videos. Did you know what I'm saying? They're going to play with you. People are playing with her. What is this? What record label is this?

Deferro. Defero, yeah. Defero. Defero. And you said you had somebody like that before? Yeah. Yeah. And it's like when it becomes a conflict of interest where it's like, okay, are you trying to be the talent?

And now I'm like, if you're going to get deals, are you getting them for me or you? That's a real thing. So, yeah, don't have to worry about that. We all, both of them are entrepreneurs in their own right, have amazing businesses and doing their own thing. But there's, even when there is synergy, we work together because we're a team, you know, versus like there's no competition. It's like we come together with everything. How do you think you've been able to establish the connection with the audience that you have, Crystal? Because, like, your podcast, keep it positive, sweetie.

Everybody loves your podcast. Like, how do you think you've been able to establish that type of real connection with you? Yeah, I think just putting it all out there, Charlemagne, being who I am, I think for so long and for a lot of us, we live so much of our life and the light, we want to keep certain things to ourselves. We don't want to share the hidden areas, the dark areas, the pits and the, you know what I'm saying? The heaviness of it all. But when you share it and let people know, hey, I'm just like you. You know, we all going through our thing. We fighting our own demons.

And when you put it out there, for me, that was the moment I realized there's nothing to be ashamed of. Let them know, share those stories. And that is how we build this community just through being authentic and being intentional about storytelling and sharing my truth. Yeah. Yeah, to keep it positive, sweetie girls, going to eat this up. Listen, they are, girl, they was out last night. They didn't found the, because we were doing like testing on the site. They already went through the site, figured out where it was.

And it's like, it's saying sold out. We're like, because it's not up yet. They were already trying to figure it out. But yeah, they were up this morning waiting for 9 a.m. to hit. That's such a blessing. Are you going to have a booth at the Black Effect Podcast Festival selling unapologetic hair?

Yes. Ashana said yes. I cannot wait for that. Thank you so much. I'm excited, even to be a part of the family, but really excited to bring Keep a Positive Sweetie to the festival. Yeah, Crystal will be doing her podcast, Keep It Positive,

at the Black Effect Podcast Festival in Atlanta on April 25th. And now you heard she'll have the unapologetic hair booth out there selling Prada too. And I'm sure a bunch of other stuff as well. Yes. Merch all the things. Yeah, thank you. Did you do your own packaging?

We did, honey. This is so. That was not what it was. I love a girl. Why y'all get me the fan? Go on the day too. Hit it. Boots on the ground.

We got a box for you too. And for you, Shala, babe. There we go. There we go. There we go. But no, I love this. I love your message to us as well. It says I've learned that caring for my curls isn't about perfection.

It's about connection. connection to my roots, my texture, and every woman finding her way. That's what unapologetic is about. I love that. Yes, thank you. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. We sat in front of a computer for hours while I was getting my hair braided one day in Atlanta

in a hotel, and Ashana was like, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. And we came with this. Saying no to the first packaging. A lot of packaging. Okay. I got you, I got you. And I love that it's 100% authentic butzana oil. Yes, from Honduras.

He would understand. Honey, okay. It's the real deal. So the Honduras, that's where you find the most purest form of batana oil. And it has such a strong coffee smell. So even getting the scent right to make sure that when you land with your man, he want to roll over and smell your hair. He's not like, ooh, girl, is it the next part of waking up?

It's smelling like coffee. You know the bitch that they'll be washing the ball and it's evil. You know. You know they don't. You know. But I love my baby. I love this. There's anything that can help here grow? This, baton oil, baton of the most.

Which one is that? Can you give it to Lauren? Stop playing with it. She got a little ball spot in the back. This is a little ball. I got you. The nice, the ball drops. It's from Tramato.

Oh, yeah. That she got dropped on her head. That she almost died. Are you serious? Yeah. You fell in something. I was young and I did a backflip on a bed and had to get stitches.

So it's never really, it hasn't really ever gone. Oh, it's probably a scar. Yeah, so probably won't grow because of the scar. That's a great story, though. You get on my nerves. She can always keep it positive, you know. Y'all get on my nerves. Price points, what are your price points like?

Because you know right now people are like, oh my God, I got to go out and spend my money. Yes, yes. I think everything is under $22. That is a lot. What for hair? No, yeah. Girl, do you know. Girl, you can buy the big thing of black jail first.

Yes, girl, I know. What? Why are you trying to find a big thing? a black jail now with 226. Oh my God. There's a black jail. The jail that really holds for the molding. Your mother used to probably use all your sisters.

Yep. For sure. I thought you've got to keep that in the house just because. Yeah, it's just a thing. It's like a staple. You ain't got no head. What are you? That's probably.

You got a shot time for you. She's still using the black gel. Sorry. Yes. Thank you. You mold short hair down. Oh, I didn't know what? I was going to leave you alone in all the color and all the things, all right?

That you'd be happening over there. She should have said if she got hair down. That's what you should have. Oh, no, no, no, I was going to you. I was born to you after we talked to the price points. Yes, so yeah, nothing is over $22. That was important as well. Yeah.

You know, my fan base ranges from like 15 years old all the way to 80, you know, so we wanted to make sure that everywhere in between it wasn't. And we're living in times where everything is inflated. Yes. People are struggling, so I wanted to make sure when it comes to self-care and loving on yourself through your hair. You like it? Yes, it smells like a candle. Like a honey, vanilla.

real like cocoa vanilla all the things sandalwood now oh wow you film it for season five of the team but that was rumored is it coming up in two weeks rumor has it rumor has it

but I'm working I'm working I'm working always I got a lot of stuff coming I did a movie with Courtney Glade last summer just found out that it's going to theaters AMC wants to be in theater so we'll definitely be back to talk about that, something completely different than what you've seen with Fatima.

Yeah, I got stretched in this one, so I'm super excited about that. Yeah, I got some short films. We're actually gonna be showing that in Martha's Vineyard, so we're doing a screening for it, just so people can come see it. So if you're all in town, please pull up. Yeah.

We're doing all the things. What else we got going on? Music, oh yeah, when you talked about, regular labels, I have music coming out too. Ashana really make me do everything. That's good. Wink if you need help getting out. Just a wink if you do it.

It's weird that you put too much pressure on you. We need help you get out. We hope you get out. No, she's a superstar. No, she's good. We do it everything. I feel like it's time, though. You know, we're in 10 seasons of sisters.

And I feel like that maybe, hopefully it continues to go. But I feel like now is the time to go ahead and start like venturing off into other spaces. So I was like, I did call it one day. I was like, I'm ready to do. I think we were in D.C. doing a live show in November. And I was singing other people's songs. And I was like, it's time for some original music. So we've been working.

on music for like a year now. And yeah, we were talking with some labels trying to figure the distribution out, but they working. Yeah. No days off, literally. For a lot of people who would have all that going on, it would feel so disjointed and all over the place. But, like, yours, like, flows because that, he mentioned your audience.

Your community is, like, dialed into so many parts of your life. Like, when we did the live conversation on Finland, I see, there were, let me tell you all, first of all, they were having panels all throughout the weekend. Her panel sold it out. I mean, people were on floor. They were waiting for like almost an hour plus to get into the panel that she did.
