For the past decade, Anthony and Crystal Obey have researched, created, tested and improved their own homemade hair and skin regimens and products - which they’ve used to help friends, family and neighbors of all ages and ethnicities overcome common skin ailments and hair issues. Their deep passion is to help alleviate, what they have coined, "Black Hair Poverty" (the high percentage of African American women with damaged hair as compared to other races of women). The Obeys hope to educate and empower women with curly and kinky hair to go from hiding behind wigs and weaves to embracing real, authentic beauty that comes from growing one’s own full head of long, thick, strong, soft and healthy hair and achieving fabulous styles from home. TONY CRYSTAL LABS LLC was founded on the idea that "women not only need quality products, but also quality processes to achieve healthy hair." Finally, Anthony and Crystal complete their vision of ending black hair poverty by offering women innovative products that produce healthy, curly-textured hair. To build hair care products that are both healthy and effective the Obeys collaborated with a team of chemists who specialize in salon grade, natural hair products. The Obeys have been happily married for 13 years and love spending time together and with their two young children, Caleb and Milan. They also enjoy helping people build Christ centered lives by serving through their church, Watermark Community Church in Dallas, Texas.
