Damaris “Koi” Munyua is working to innovate traditional wig caps to encompass eco-friendliness, durability, and color variety to match different skin tones and comfort — elements that are not typically included in generic nylon wig caps. She wants to provide consumers with a quality, at-home option for installing wigs if people do not want to go the route of purchasing a pricey installation by a professional hairstylist. 

In her funding request, she hoped to cover various costs for her startup “Slaystainable,” such as the design patent, legal fees, trademark, materials and other starting costs to get ready for her product to enter the market. 

Munyua plans to launch her sustainable wig caps later this summer to provide consumers with environmentally sound, comfortable alternatives to the limited and eco-harmful wig cap options currently on the market. 

On her website, she tells customers that her product includes “colors that match your skin tone. So you can slay, every single day!”
