About Us

Freshine Products Inc. is the engine behind Wavytalk — a fast-growing, community-driven hair tools brand built on a simple belief: beautifully styled hair should be accessible to everyone. What started as a viral DTC phenomenon — powered by real results on Amazon, TikTok Shop, and our own e-commerce platform — has become one of the top-performing brands in its category, fueled by everyday people who don't just buy our tools, they share them.

We are now entering a critical phase of growth — expanding aggressively into retail. With early traction at Target, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Ulta Beauty Marketplace, we are building a world-class retail presence that brings Wavytalk from the scroll to the shelf.
