The founder
Planted was started by Ama Amo- Agyei. Ama started Planted due to the lack of natural hair care options that actually do what they say on the tin. After going on her own hair care journey, Ama began making products that would help her hair grow longer and thicker. To her surprise the results were incredible. seeing lasting results Ama saw the products potential and launched the business at home as a team of one. Thanks to social media exposure and great marketing the business grew exponentially leading Planted its very first official home and a small team to cope with the high demand. Things only got better and the brand soon up and left the space for a 6,000 square foot warehouse and an even larger team of dedicated employees.
Ama went from unemployed to running a 7 figure business in just a year. As a successful entrepreneur, Ama certainly has plenty of tips to offer aspiring entrepreneurs. As a member of the Rice At Home podcast, Ama uses the platform to share tips on how to have financial freedom and make money through entrepreneurship.
Planted is offering a restock sale available for a limited time before closing. Head over to their website before everything sells out.
Despite the unexpected huddle that has hit Planted here at MYCOMEUP we believe challenges make a champion and this is only the beginning for Ama and wish her and the business all the best .
