The Eckstine Extensions Raw Trinidadian Collection

was created by Zianna Jade Eckstine. She came up with the

brand because she was a brand ambassador for other hair

companies and would bring in a lot of customers, so she decided

to venture out and start her own hair company.

​

Zianna created the brand name by using her last name

“Eckstine”. She is also half black and half Trinidadian, so she

wanted to focus on her Trinidadian side which lead her to search

for hair vendors that provide Trinidadian hair. Her father then

found a vendor in Trinidad that sells raw hair, and it took off from

there.
