Words from our founder, Courtney Makaila
(IG: @kimchismami):
“In 2015, after years of excessive heat styling left my hair dry, brittle, damaged, & struggling to thrive. I knew it was time to embrace who I was & what I had, black, curly hair. It was time for me to take control of my hair’s health. Searching for clean, effective solutions proved challenging; at that time, very few products offered truly natural, nourishing ingredients. Determined to find a way forward, I took matters into my own hands – quite literally. I began sourcing pure, organic oils & handcrafting a blend designed to restore, strengthen, & nurture my hair back to health. I tested this formula on myself, watching as my hair transformed, becoming more resilient, healthy, & full of life.
Seeing the remarkable results, I felt inspired to share my creation with others. In September 2019, I founded “The Natural Embrace” from my dorm room at Voorhees University. Starting small, I introduced my product to friends on campus, & before long, word spread. What began as a personal journey to revive my hair evolved into a growing community of individuals who, like me, sought natural solutions for beautiful, healthy hair.
Today, “The Natural Embrace” remains dedicated to quality, transparency, & the power of nature. Each bottle is handmade with care, crafted to bring out the best in your hair without compromising on purity or integrity. Thank you for joining us on this path – here’s to encouraging, extending, & embracing natural beauty, one strand at a time.
