Overview
Introducing SISTERWOULD: The haircare brand that’s redefining beauty with inclusivity at its core.
According to the World Health Organization there are at least 2.2 billion people living with blindness or severe visual impairment.
As the world’s largest minority group, disabled people represent 15% of the global population.
They control over $13 trillion in disposable income every year. Yet, people with disabilities report 75-80% of their customer experiences are a fail. This is because brands fail to make products with them in mind and retail stores don’t stock brands that develop products with them in mind.
Embark on a sensory journey with SISTERWOULD, where our innovative haircare transcends traditional boundaries. In a world where people live with blindness and visual impairments, we’re rewriting the script. Forget the gap in hair and skin products—SISTERWOULD is here to revolutionize your self-care rituals with our sensory enhanceed hair facials that not only give life to your hair, but uplift your spirits and create lasting impact.
Partnership with Vision Australia
In partnership with Vision Australia, we’ve introduced groundbreaking inclusivity features. We’ve incorporate universal Braille legible on a global scale and a tactile imprinting system that consists of horizontal lines = for shampoo and dots ::: for conditioner. on our packaging, make us pioneers in making haircare universally accessible. Recognized with the Beacon Award for Inclusivity Champion, we are not just a brand; we’re a movement transforming haircare into moments of joy.
Beauty Meets Inclusivity: Bridging the gap between skin and hair with high-performing skincare ingredients for your hair and scalp.
Our products, crafted from high-performing scientifically formulated and innovative tactile ingredients, boast biodegradable microparticles, providing a textural distinction between shampoo and conditioner.
Inspired by our mothers and their frustrations.
Everyone deserves to bask in the pleasure of washing their hair and scalp. For some, this seemingly simple ritual is taken for granted. SISTERWOULD haircare exists to help everyone turn washing their hair into an enjoyable moment of selfcare.
With a passion and drive for creating a beauty brand with purpose, we saw a gap in the market for an inclusive and accessible, scientifically formulated, haircare brand.
Through the daily frustrations faced by our mothers who struggle with visual impairments and have always worn glasses, we also discovered the daily plight and frustrations felt by this self-care routine. Working with Vision Australia, we had Braille included on our packaging and placed an emphasis on the sensory experience, including tactile ingredients to help with the differentiation between products.
Purpose and poise. The name SISTERWOULD represents the brand ethos, which centres around our approach to our friendship. Built on the sentiment that a sister doesn’t need to be related by blood, but rather someone who provides unconditional love, support, guidance and acceptance. SISTERWOULD symbolises the embodiment of these values, where we believe in the beauty and value of everyone.
In addition to making salon quality haircare, our bigger purpose is to create a community of likeminded people who support each other, just like a ‘sister would’.
The result? Performance-driven haircare products, by a brand that cares

Looking to the future, SISTERWOULD is more than an Australian e-commerce brand. In the next 5 years, we envision global presence with omni-channel distribution in retail, strategically selected partnerships across salons, gyms, hotels, and even airlines. We’re raising $20,000 to accelerate this journey, starting with expanding into retail, bringing our inclusive products to more visually impaired individuals worldwide.
Right now our biggest challenge is having more SKUs for reail shelf space. With our own cash reserves and with your pledges and donations in helping us hit $20,000 in funding we’ll be able to develop new products and be ready for retail expansion in the next 6-12 months. This is a strategic and imperative move because we’re already in discussions with major retailers in Australia and the U.S. and need the new products developed in order to partner with these retailers.
