Intisar Bashir, Rashid Mahdi on Shark Tank (ABC/Christopher Willard)

In addition to making adhesive stripes (as seen on Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o, above), Browndages also makes elastic tape (see below).

When Browndages saw NBA legend Shaq with two light-colored bandages criss-crossed on his brown head (he said he accidentally walked into an exit sign), they shared the image above and wrote: “Who can put us in contact with @shaq? Tag him and let him know we have his shade!“
