WHAT'S OUR STORY?
Since becoming natural, relaxer free, straightener free and bleach free we realised that the majority of products available in the market were not actually suitable for our Crowns. Although they promote sulfates and parabens free they still contain other harsh chemicals that left our hair dry and brittle. No matter how much moisture and oils we layered on, we could not see any visible change to the length and moisture content of our hair. We then decided enough was enough…
We embarked on a journey to do further research on understanding natural hair and ingredients that contributed towards healthy growth and sealed in moisture on our hair. The more knowledge we obtained, the more it inspired us to create something of our own, something that we knew was authentic, organic and contained no mineral oils or chemicals.
From our research we became aware of all the consequential effects certain ingredients were having on our natural hair, and understood the reason behind why the hair products on the market did not work for us, as they contained one or more of these ingredients. Although they promoted and highlighted ‘No Parabens, No Silicones, No Sulfates’, they failed to mention and address that ingredients such as Fragrance/Perfume, Isopropyl Alcohol, Mineral Oils-Petrolatum in their products are just as damaging and non-beneficial for natural hair. As we gathered this information, we decided to create our products from home ensuring we avoided all harsh chemicals that are not beneficial for our hair and replaced them with natural organic ingredients. Since using our home made organic products our hair has flourished and grown drastically compared to past years.
The Mission
Our mission is to incorporate raw organic ingredients into all our products to promote growth and healthy hair for all hair types with particular emphasis on curly, coiled and kinky hair textures such as 3a-4c. We understand the biggest challenge we face when wearing our hair natural is dryness and breakage, which stops the hair from growing to its full potential. Therefore by replacing chemicals with organic oils and butters it adds moisture into the hair allowing the hair to grow to its full potential.
