According to an obituary by NV Magazine, the natural-hair community suffered a loss this month. Titi Branch, one of the co-founders of the natural-hair-care line Miss Jessie’s, died Dec. 4. The magazine says that Branch died from an apparent suicide.
Titi Branch, along with her sister, Miko Branch, ran the ever-popular Miss Jessie’s salon in New York City, where they sold their own brand of hair products. The sisters could be considered pioneers in the natural-hair-care business, catering to those with kinks, coils and curls.
On Sunday night, Twitter updates from Miko Branch’s and Miss Jessie’s accounts remembered Titi Branch.
