Entrepreneur Annette Crone is the inventive mind behind X-Static - the world\\u2019s first anti-static hairbrush - and the founder of parent company ForBabs. With more than 30 years of experience in business development, sales, marketing, and leadership, Crone has helped successfully launch a variety of products including founding her own medical spa in 2004, and now creating her own line of problem solving brushes for both pets and people! During periods of extended business travel, Crone continuously battled hair static and fly-aways. This led her to try every available solution, including an old-school hair \\u201chack\\u201d: smoothing a dryer sheet over frazzled strands. \\u201cI just wasn\\u2019t satisfied with any option out there,\\u201d she explains. \\u201cDryer sheets felt sterile and awkward, hair static sheets felt far too wet - I knew there had to be a simpler, more effective alternative.\\u201d Unable to find the solution she needed, Crone set out to create it for herself. Today, Crone has developed a more accessible, easy-to-use, and hygienic solution: the X-Static hairbrush designed to banish frizz and fight fly-aways on all hair types, including color-treated styles. Made in the USA by her parent company ForBabs - lovingly named after Crone\\u2019s mother, Barbara - the X-Static\\u2019s refillable brush heads feature 12 tear-and-toss anti-static sheets that give an instant beauty boost to wet or dry hair. Having raised three daughters in San Diego, California, Crone brings a lifetime of experience to the task of developing effective hairstyling tools. Firmly believing that life is about taking risks and pushing beyond your comfort zone, she established ForBabs to bring creative ideas to life and help support women-owned businesses like hers.

\\u201cthere is never a perfect time to move forward. You just have to take one step in front of the other and keep yourself going. So, if you are waiting for that perfect time to do something, I don\\u2019t know that there is ever perfect time. So just one step at a time gets you there\\u201d\\u2026[Listen for More]
