My Hair Was My First Teacher
Because of medications and being sick quite often, my hair had its own history a history of breakage.
Salon visits became familiar with strands of my hair scattered across the floor, and I grew tired of watching my hair tell a story I didn’t want anymore.
This year, I decided it wasn’t going to end that way. So I picked up my books. I researched during the day and stayed up at night learning everything I could. I studied ingredients, compared oils, and carefully chose what would become the heroes of my formulas. Then something unexpected happened.
During my NYSC camp in Gombe, I discovered palm kernel oil and learned how beneficial it could be for hair. It wasn’t part of the original plan, but it became part of my journey. So I tried it. And slowly, things started changing. A little trim here. A little adjustment there. Most importantly, I became my own test subject. I tested every ingredient individually. I watched how my hair responded.
I kept what worked and removed what didn’t. Eventually, after countless notes, tiny adjustments, and patient observation, the formula became what it is today. BÉKÉÈ.
