As the world turns its eyes to the Paris Olympics, Jamaican sprinting sensation Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has added another accolade to her illustrious career by launching her very own haircare line, ‘AFIMI.’ Derived from Jamaican Patois, ‘AFIMI’ translates to “for me,” embodying a deeply personal connection and pride in her roots.

A Legend on the Track, an Innovator Off It

At 37, as she prepares for what might be her final Olympic appearance, Fraser-Pryce aims to augment her already impressive collection of eight Olympic medals. The two-time Olympic gold medalist, who first captured the world’s attention with her victory in 2008, is as renowned for her electrifying speed as she is for her striking, ever-changing hair.

That’s why it’s so important that it gets the care it needs.”

A Tribute to Jamaican Beauty

AFIMI is more than just a haircare line; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the natural beauty and vibrant culture of Jamaica. “I’ve designed these products with you in mind to keep your hair feeling and performing its best no matter what comes your way,” Fraser-Pryce explained. “This line is a vibrant tribute to Jamaica, inspired by its lush resources and welcoming essence—each ingredient naturally sourced from the earth to enhance your natural beauty. AFIMI, it’s for you, no matter who you are.”
