She identifies three tenets: the right products, the right tools and the right techniques.

She has published books: Curly Hair Adventures, What They Don’t Tell You at The Hair Salon and The Beauty and Barber Survival Plan. She is the creator of the Wright Hair Products and the Wright Polish. She has been featured in several local and national publications and television shows.

Wright was awarded a grant for The Ubuntu Hair Love Project from Neighborhood Connections that provides support for those dealing with issues from hair discrimination and hair shaming.
