Hair designer launches product line for black women
By FRANCES GRANDY TAYLOR
The Hartford Courant
WINDSOR, Conn. (AP) ~ Dorothy
Willis is all cool confidence when she
explains how she's launching her own
hair-care line and preparing to enter a
fierce marketing battle.
Willis, 49, of Windsor, knows the
odds may appear daunting in an
industry dominated by multinational
giants that gross about $3.9 billion
annually, but from her years as a top
international hair designer, she also
knows how to stand out in a crowd.
"It's quite a challenge to go up
against the big guys," Willis says with
a serene smile. "But I believe I can
make a Utile niche."
She has perspective on what is
needed, particularly in the black hair
care field, thanks to a career that has
lasted nearly 20 years.
"Credibility helps when you're

Contractors lose out
problem with M/WBE's and we're
trying to do something in that area,''
said William G. Enloe Jr., commit
tee chair.
Bonds are legislatively mandat
ed by the federal government to
protect public funds. In Winston
Salem and North Carolina bonds are
required in all municipal and state
contracts, involving public funds,
that are above $50,000.
The arnounrof the bond equals
the amount of the contract, Mr.
Clark said. There are certain prob
lems all imnall contractors facc^_
when seeking bonding, that are not
exclusive to members of a particular
race or sex, he added.
"The first problem I see is no
records," Mr. Clark explained. "Too
often we have people come to us
that want to be bonded that operate
out of two pockets and feel if they
have money coming in and money
paid out that business is good. And
that's fine as long as the jobs contin
ue to come in. The other things are
no money and job size (taking on a
job that is too large for the small
company to finance or complete)."
When a contractor goes to The
Bond Exchange the underwriters
are looking for certain things, Mr.
Clark said, including:
?length of time in business,
?financial standing,
?amount of working capital,
?activity -- number of jobs

completed.
A national trend that has hurt
small contractors is the current push
for single prime contractors, which
are less Expensive and easier to
manage, Mr. Clark said.
Another problem is a self
inflicted one, Mr. Clark said,
explaining that many of the contrac
tors who complain about not being
able to get bonded are those who
take an application packet butdonT
complete and return it for process
ing. T
"1 promise you that we can
bond 99 percent of the completed
packets that contractors return to
us," he said* "Some minorities say
that bonding is a requirement for

He voted against the Allisons "for

She said her family will always be

? Willis has worked nationally and
internationally as a platform artist,
teaching styling techniques to other
professionals. She competes in hair
design shows in Europe, where she
has won numerous trophies that
crowd the walls and mantel of her
home.
She has traveled to Egypt and Sene
gal to demonstrate hair design. She is
a contributing editor for Black Tress
and Black Hair Care magazines and
has written articles for Essence,
Vogue and Black Enterprise.
~7 Willis began her career in Hartford
the Sour Scissors salon at the G. ~
Fox & Co. department store, became
national stylist director for the Soul
Scissors chain and later an education
al consultant for Revlon.

further segregation, and that's not it;
that's absolutely not the truth. We
can bond just about everybody
within certain limits. We can start
them off."
Mr. Clark agreed to speak to
M/WBE's at committee-sponsored
workshops and seminars to help
them understand the bonding pro
cess and to help them get bonded.
"It takes a day for a person to
complete the packet, an hour if T~
can sit down with them," Mr. Clark
said. "I can get a bond program
established in five days. So many
times it's not that ihe contractor
can't get bonded, they're just look
ing for excuses not to go through
with it."
ket represents about 13 percent of the
total market - worth about $500 mil
lion a year.
Her hair-care line, called Basic
Black, consists of 22 products from a
shampoo and conditioner to a relaxer
and curly perm -- used by black
women to achieve a variety of looks.
"A person is judged by their hair,
it's an identity," Willis says. "Nine
times out of 10, a person will describe
you by your hair; they'll say, 'that
blonde that was here,' or 'the one with
the curly hair."'
For that reason, she says, good hair
care comes first, which is why "basic"
is part of her products' name. "I think
of it the way a basic black dress is the
foundation of a wardrobe," Willis
says.
Basic Black products, introduced in
March, are for professional use only.
Willis says national distribution
could begin late this summer. Willis
says she hopes to spread information
about her product through educational
seminars with professionals.
Willis has been working with a Dal
las chemist to formulate her line,
which has a concept she says is dif
ferent from many products designed
for black hair care. "It's not a me-too
product; it's a different approach," she
says.
