A collection of sacred, plant-powered allies for hair health

Rose Water

Rose water isn’t just for the skin. Its naturally balancing properties help hydrate the scalp, reduce inflammation, and bring softness to the hair. The subtle floral scent also makes it a lovely refresher between wash days.

How to use
Spritz directly onto the scalp or hair whenever it feels dry or dull. It’s especially helpful before styling or braiding.


Aloe Water

Aloe water is made by blending aloe vera gel with water, creating a light but deeply hydrating mist for both hair and scalp. It soothes irritation, smooths frizz, and helps define natural curls. Aloe is full of vitamins, enzymes, and amino acids that promote hair strength and elasticity.

How to use
Use as a daily spritz, base for leave-in conditioners, or to rehydrate curls in the morning.


Chebe Powder

Chebe powder is a traditional hair-strengthening blend used by women in Chad. It’s known for helping retain length by reducing breakage and locking in moisture.

How to use
Mix with oil or conditioner and apply to the lengths of the hair. Braid or twist and leave in for several hours or overnight.


Fenugreek

Fenugreek seeds are rich in protein and antioxidants. They promote hair growth, reduce shedding, and add a natural shine.

How to use
Soak the seeds, blend into a paste, and apply as a hair mask. You can also infuse them into oil for a weekly scalp massage.


Hibiscus

Hibiscus flowers are used to support thicker, shinier hair and to encourage new growth. They also help reduce shedding and soothe the scalp.

How to use
Steep the dried flowers to make a scalp rinse or mix the powder into masks and conditioners.


Brahmi

Brahmi is an Ayurvedic herb known for calming the mind and nourishing the scalp. It supports root strength and may help prevent premature greying.

How to use
Mix the powder with aloe or rose water to form a paste. Apply to the scalp and leave on for twenty to thirty minutes before rinsing.


Marshmallow Root

Marshmallow root is full of natural mucilage, making it a wonderful detangler. It coats and softens the hair, which makes it easier to manage.

How to use
Make a tea and use it as a slip-enhancing rinse or add it to your favorite conditioner.


Neem Oil

Neem oil is antibacterial and antifungal, making it especially useful for those with dandruff, flaking, or irritated scalps.

How to use
Mix with a lighter oil and apply to the scalp once or twice a week. Leave on for about twenty minutes before washing.


Pumpkin Seed Oil

Pumpkin seed oil supports scalp health and may help regulate hormones that affect hair loss. It’s deeply nourishing and full of zinc, omega fatty acids, and antioxidants.

How to use
Use it for scalp massages or as a finishing oil to lock in moisture. It can also be taken internally with guidance.
