For those who don’t know, I launched my hair care company not too long ago. I’m currently selling a unisex hair & beard growth serum that’s all natural, high quality, coconut oil free, and makes your beard & scalp feel like it’s chewing minty fresh gum 🥰
I make everything by hand, my formula came from my own creativity and research (I didn’t buy from a private label like most new hair care companies are doing).
As someone who suffers from extreme shedding due to old chemical burns from the relaxers I used to get, breakage because my natural hair is super dry and super, gross dandruff that’s induced by stress - I can honestly say that my oil is pretty bomb and it can alleviate any mild scalp issues like dryness, flakes and itchiness. As for beards, this oil will give you an extra boost if your main problem is shedding.
This serum contains several different carrier and essential oils that promotes hair growth and will reduce breakage and excessive shedding. However, it’s important to take care of your hair and beard - you must wash and condition your hair or beard due to the fact that oils are not moisturizers, they just seal in moisture. Meaning, this is the last product you apply when you are doing your regimen.
You can use this product while wearing protective styles by applying the product to your scalp and edges but be sure to moisturize your hair as well.
This product is not intended to cure or to sell anyone false hopes and dreams. This is to give you an extra boost! If you can’t naturally grow a beard, this can’t help you or if you have any underlying health issues that’s affecting hair growth on your scalp, I think it’s important to speak to a doctor to help your figure out the most appropriate treatment for you.
This shouldn’t be used by pregnant women because some of the essential oils can probably induce labor but it can be used during your post partum period because that’s when extreme shedding occurs.
I’ve compared my product to the others on the market - what sets mine apart is just the quality and there’s no fillers in it (soybean oil, corn oil, mineral oil or petroleum).
It’s truly amazing. This thing have grown my edges many times after I ripped them out after detangling incorrectly 😂
Support ya girl please 💓

I belong to no one. I do not owe anyone my time, resources, energy, or body. I cut off anyone who do not serve a purpose in my life or benefit me. My top priorities are my happiness and well-being.
im noticing yall are sugarcoating and trying your best not to say who it was that raped Oluwatoyin… they were black men. idgaf about the image yall want to portray to the world… the reality of the situation is a 19 year old girl who spent her time protesting for the justice of black people was raped and assaulted by BLACK MEN!
when talking about the tragedy that this innocent young girl had to face, imma need yall to speak with your whole chest stop hiding what really happened! she wrote everything on her twitter!
SHE WAS A CHILD!! AND SOMEONE KILLED HER FOR SPEAKING ABOUT HER ABUSE!!! WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH SAY HER FUCKING NAME, SAY WHAT HAPPENED TO HER AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE!
HER NAME IS OLUWATOYIN SALAU!!! SHE WAS 19!!! SHE WAS RAPED BY MEN OF HER OWN COMMUNITY!!! ACKNOWLEDGE IT!!
Real life tip/rant: last year, I paid off all of my credit card debt and my credit score JUMPED… I was so happy because I felt like I was making some real strides in my life.
But a few weeks ago, my credit score dropped 30 fucking points.
I was so lost and confused because I don’t owe anybody money and I don’t have a credit card.
Little did I know, that was the problem. If you are not actively building your credit MONTHLY, that shit will dropped.
The second you build any credit history, you need to keep building on it, unless your credit score is 0 (you don’t have to worry about that shit dropping obviously but you should start building credit history, maybe starting with a secured card).
Don’t let this shit happen to you.
I just want to let y’all know that a lot of cishet men are going to end up very lonely when they’re old because of the way they treated women and their significant others.
This is all occurring in Sudan! Please keep them in your prayers.
