About The Founder
Inspiration from our ancestors
I grew up constantly hearing the same stories: black hair doesn't grow, I'm loosing my edges, I need to constantly wear a protective style otherwise I loose my hair, my hair is thinning, I can't grow my hair past my ears.....and more. Meanwhile, my research on African history as an enthusiastic scholar of pre-European Africa, showed numerous accounts of tribes with hair down their backs, hairstyles so elaborate all completed with natural hair, and tribes described with a lion's mane due their lush full head f hair.
Something happened to us after centuries of a slave trade followed by colonialism that robbed us of the knowledge of our ancestors. Through my research, travels, surveys and story telling data, I uncovered the numerous herbs used across the continent to nourish black hair and allow it to thrive. Herbs that are no longer found in mainstream hair care, therefore leaving black people everywhere feeling like their hair was cursed to be dry, brittle, short and frail.
Or hair was our connection to the Gods.
Our hair was our glory.
And this was shaved off our heads before our ancestors were put in the boats that would take them across the Atlantic ocean and away from everything that helped them thrive.
​
I am honored to bring this alive again so that we can all re-discover the true magic of our hair in its natural state when we give it what it needs.
