Made by hand, in a kitchen on Kaua'i.
Ceremony started the way most honest things do: a woman with a problem, a stove, and 24 years of knowing exactly what hair needs.
I spent 24 years behind the chair.
Victoria's Secret. European runways. L'Oreal Professionnel. Michigan Stylist of the Year. I have touched a lot of hair, and I learned the same lesson every time: healthy hair is not a product you buy, it is a scalp you take care of.
Then I had my baby, and lost half my hair. Nothing on the shelf felt gentle enough, or honest enough, for the season I was in. So I started mixing my own, on my own stove, the way I wished someone had made it for me.
Take the water out, and a lot of problems leave with it.
Most haircare is mostly water, and water on a shelf needs preservatives to stay safe. Those preservatives sit on your scalp every single wash. My formulas are powders and oils you activate yourself, so there is no water to preserve, and nothing synthetic left on your head.
It is slower. It is small-batch. Every jar is measured and dated by hand before it leaves the island. That is the point.
I made the haircare I wished existed, then measured every jar by hand.
Four minutes, every wash day.
The same ritual I made for myself first, then for the women in my chair, then for you. Begin with the wash, or take the whole box.
