Bring Mainstream Natural Hair Products to AZ

Our natural hair community is growing at a fast pace in Arizona. Not only with African American women, but with Bi-racial (Caucasian and African American)children being raised in Phoenix, AZ. I currently host numerous meet-ups in the Phoenix, AZ and I am a part of the largest Phoenix Natural Hair Facebook Group. I have heard a number of concerns about the lack of availability of products available for our hair in mainstream stores, (ie. Walmart and Target).

I understand "large black population" is very vague. Per the World Population Statistics, the city of Phoenix is the most populous city in the state of Arizona and the sixth-most populous city in the entire country. However, Phoenix happens to be the most populous capital city in the entire country. Even with this information, companies are lead to believe that we would not be able to bring the sales needed to be included in their general distribution market. We would like a chance to prove them wrong.
