From creator, Margie Cattouse: Celestial Comforter is a homebased business. I make oversized shower, sleep and conditioning caps. They are called Celestial Crowns

Shower, Slumber and Conditioning Caps. My products were originally designed for those of us w/ natural hair. My key demographic customer has big hair, locs, afros, twists, braids

that won't fit in regular sized caps. This group have been pretty much dismiss by the industry and left to improvise by using bags, multiple shower caps, bowl covers, tee shirts

etc. or just dodging the shower nozzle. I solved the problem. However, what happened was that ppl w/ relaxed or natural straight hair wanted a larger, more durable cap. They also wanted variety. Instead of offering my customers one size fits all option. I offer (3)

sizes fitting a much larger segment of the population. Celestial Crowns come in Mini, Large and XL. My products have worldwide appeal, I've sold them to customers as far away as

Tasmania, AU. We’re giving away 3 of each of the products below! CLICK HERE to
