Gillian Garcia shares her journey from a hairstylist to an entrepreneur

Gillian Garcia is on a mission to bring back the trend of healthy hair for women. Garcia is a master hairstylist, serial entrepreneur, educator, and philanthropist. She launched her organic haircare brand Ju Poppin in March 2020. Then when the whole world was going into a lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ju Poppin had a slim chance of being a success. However, the natural products from the brand earned a lot of positive reviews from many users within months of its launch.

The success of Ju Poppin is attributed to the tireless efforts of Gillian Garcia to create a hair care product line that nourishes the scalp and hair. She sources pure oils from genuine suppliers all over the world to produce Ju Poppin products. All the raw materials are quality tested by experts in Canada and then blended in the U.S.A. The range of products includes shampoo, conditioner, hair oils, healing mists, foaming lotion, grooming oil, and edge control products.

The Growth oil aka liquid gold as it is popularly called is one of the top-selling products of Ju Poppin. It has English lavender which is a growth stimulator along with black cumin seeds and Ylang-ylang extracts. Black cumin boosts scalp health while Ylang-ylang arrests hair fall. The other best sellers from the Ju Poppin include Vitamin E oil and Scalp Healing Mist. Vitamin–E oil contains Grapeseed oil  along with Vitamin E and extracts of avocado and sunflower seed oil. This is a magic potion to promote shine, hair strength, and also controls frizz. The Scalp Healing Mist is rich in aloe vera, lavender, and tea tree that soothes inflammation and prevents scalp infection.
