Before I had my daughter, I didn’t pay much attention to my dry hair or scalp

Before I had my daughter, I didn’t pay much attention to my dry hair or scalp. I noticed that deep conditioners took hours just to soften my scalp, and even then, the moisture never seemed to last.

The more hair videos I watched, the more products I bought — oils, creams, treatments — yet nothing truly worked. Eventually, I accepted the idea that my dry scalp was genetic and something I would just have to live with.

That mindset changed when I had my daughter.

No matter what I tried, her scalp stayed uncomfortable. She would pull at her hair at night, and that deeply disturbed me. I kept asking myself, What is really going on? I didn’t want her hair or scalp discomfort to affect her confidence the way it had affected mine.

I sought help wherever I could — doctors, neighbors, people with healthy hair — but the answers always led back to more products, not understanding. At some point, I felt overwhelmed and frustrated. How many products does a scalp really need?

I refused to accept that there was nothing I could do.

I became committed to learning what the scalp actually needs — not trends, not layering, but fundamentals. I stayed up nights researching absorption, oils that penetrate versus oils that sit, and how moisture is truly supported at the scalp level.

That journey changed how I approach scalp care entirely — focusing on balance, simplicity, and support rather than overload.
