Jessicurl’s original product creator and founder, Jessica McGuinty, has died.
 
On the evening of June 10 2023, with her husband, her father, her doctor and dedicated hospice team by her side, McGuinty succumbed to her disease peacefully at her home in Southern California.
 
For years McGuinty had been dealing with a number of serious medical maladies. Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, an aggressive collection of inherited disorders that affect connective tissues with a scarcity of treatment options.
 
In the time that she was dealing with her diagnosis she was able to see Jessicurl flourish as a company in the United States as well as expand its footprint into Canada, The United Kingdom, Australia and the EU.
 
Over the last few years, McGuinty had taken more of a supporting role in the company to concentrate on her health and left the success of Jessicurl in the hands of her hand-picked management team.
 
“She forged our community out of the desire to embrace our natural hair and her revolutionary tactics will live forever in all of us as her ‘Curlies,’” the brand said in a statement.
 
Jessicurl will be organizing a celebration of her life to be announced at a future date.
