What inspired you to create Pommeshell, and how did your experience as a hairstylist shape the brand’s offerings?

Pomme the brand, and our ‘pommeshell’ community was born from my desire to provide clients with high-quality hair care products along with education around the how and why to use these products that would extend the in salon experience into their at-home routines. As a hairstylist, I could consistently see the gap between what we achieved in the salon and what clients struggled with at home. I wanted to bridge that gap by creating products that were easy to use, thoughtfully created to easily add into your routine, and designed to maintain scalp and hair health. My experience behind the chair has given me firsthand knowledge of the most common hair challenges, allowing me to connect with our community, providing them the education and solutions they are looking for!

Can you tell us more about the importance of scalp health in achieving great hair and how your Scalp Massager supports this?

Scalp health is foundational to healthy, radiant hair. Our scalps have their own microbiome which can be affected from health or hormonal imbalances, seasonal changes and even stress. Ensuring our scalp is healthy, promotes better circulation, prevents buildup of oil, dead skin cells, and creates the optimal environment for healthy hair growth. Our Pomme Scalp Massager supports this by gently stimulating the scalp, increasing blood flow, and helping to evenly distribute oils and scalp serums. Regular use can also help alleviate dryness and dandruff, ensuring that your scalp remains balanced, allowing your hair to grow stronger and shinier as a result!

The Pomme Brush is designed to prevent hair ripping and tearing. What sets this brush apart from others on the market, and how does it contribute to healthier hair?

The Pomme Brush is uniquely designed with flexible bristles that glide smoothly through the hair, reducing the risk of breakage or damage. Unlike many other brushes that tug or pull, the Pomme Brush works gently, making it perfect for detangling wet hair without causing splits or tears. Use in the shower to comb through conditioners and masques without concern of hair damage! Its ergonomic design and scalp-stimulating bristles encourage blood circulation at the scalp and also help to evenly distribute natural oils and any hair products you comb through your hair. The vented design also allows you to use a hair dryer without risking excess heat damage. Last but not least, it’s easy to clean! The Pomme Brush is so versatile it makes it the perfect go to for anyone to have on hand in the shower, your room, in your gym bag, your car, anywhere!

Shower caps are often overlooked as a hair accessory. What makes the Pommeshell Shower Cap essential for maintaining hairstyles between washes, and how did you choose the stylish prints?

Shower caps are an essential tool for preserving styles between washes, especially when maintaining blowouts, curls, or treated hair. The Pomme Shower Cap is designed to keep moisture out while still allowing your hair to breathe. Wearing a shower cap prevents frizz and ensures that your style stays intact for longer —helping you push your hair wash to another day!  We chose the stylish prints to reflect the same appealing aesthetic that all our Pomme products are known for—functional, but also something you’d be happy to wear and leave out on your bathroom counter!

What are your top tips for curating the perfect self-care box, and how do your products enhance the experience of treating yourself or others?

Curating the perfect self-care box is all about balance—combining practical with indulgent, making something that is functional feel like a treat! Start with the essentials like a high-quality shampoo and conditioning masque, add in a tool like our Pomme Brush or Scalp Massager to elevate your experience and product results. Don’t forget to include something comforting like a scented candle or moody shower playlist! All of our Pomme products will elevate your beauty and self care routines, they focus on both results and relaxation! We want everyone in our Pomme community to feel confident in knowing what products to use for their hair and scalp types, add in our beautiful and functional hair tools and make hair care feel like a special ritual rather than a chore!
