The young woman opened up about the journey she undertook when starting her haircare business:
“I have a small business, which is still growing. It is called Larlie's haircare products. The products were manufactured to restore the dignity of our natural look. I say to restore the dignity of our look because they fixed my crown. I'm able to walk around in public with my hair.”

“My hair started breaking and falling out in 2013 and I couldn't find any product to fix that. I had to live on wigs. I've tried so many things with no luck. Then, I created a solution of my own in 2021, and haven’t looked back since.
“I started branding my products and marketing them in 2022 and they became a huge success.”
Businesswoman empowers many
Nobulali is positive about the future and has various dreams she wants to see realised:
“The future is bright. By the end of the year, I'm hoping that my products will be on shelves in retail stores. I'm planning to have a shop in Mthatha because that's where I'm residing currently.”
