A Welsh woman has spoken of her success after one of her videos went viral on TikTok and prompted her to launch her own business. 22-year-old Lucie Macleod from Newport, Pembrokeshire is the owner of the Hair Syrup Original, which has captured the attention of thousands of people seeking hair care products.
Lucie's story began back in 2019 when she was desperate to revive her dry and damaged hair. Little did she know back then that her personal quest to find a product to nourish her hair would become an online phenomenon.
"Running a business wasn't something I intended to do," she told WalesOnline. "I’ve never expressed any interest in hair care or the beauty industry either. I always thought that I’d have a sort of corporate or academic job, and I never thought this was the route I would go down.
