Founder
Ranay Orton is the founder and CEO of Glow by Daye, a brand dedicated to providing high-quality hair care products specifically designed for individuals with textured hair. The inspiration for Glow by Daye arose from Orton's personal experiences as a Black woman and new mother, facing challenges in managing her natural hair. Frustrated by the lack of suitable hair accessories, she developed her first product, the Reversible Satin Bonnet, which quickly gained popularity among consumers who shared similar struggles with hair maintenance.12
Orton's mission extends beyond product creation; she aims to empower and educate others about their hair care journeys. Glow by Daye promotes diversity and community engagement through initiatives like the '3 from Me' program, which allocates 3% of online sales to support educational opportunities for young women of color.1 As part of her vision, Orton is committed to driving innovation in the hair care industry and expanding her product line to better serve her customers.12
In addition to her entrepreneurial endeavors, Orton has benefited from Amazon's Black Business Accelerator, which has played a significant role in the growth of her business by enhancing visibility and accessibility for her products.2 Her goal is for Glow by Daye to become a household name synonymous with confidence and joy in natural hair care routines.2
