MEET BRITTANY
I'm a wife and mom of 5. I'm an engineer by trade and thoroughly enjoy learning and researching new topics. Naturally, the science of hair care has been a fun topic for me to dive into! Otherwise, my faith and family are my biggest priorities. I love homeschooling my 5 children and spending as much time outdoors with them as possible. I enjoy researching and pursuing a simple, healthy lifestyle. Embracing, loving and taking care of my body and hair, exactly the way they were made, is incredibly important to me. I want to send the message to my daughters (and everyone else!) that we are all made beautifully and perfectly, just the way we are. We don't have to manipulate and conform ourselves to society's standard of beauty and we can (and should!) love and nurture ourselves.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE TEXTURE OF YOUR HAIR?
I have very fine, medium density, wavy hair. It is low porosity, greasy by day 3, and prone to buildup. My hair is very soft and can be easily over moisturized.
HOW DID YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR BEFORE?
I colored and straightened my hair for years. I washed, blow dried and straightened each day, because it was a greasy disaster after sleeping on it. I was concerned about using ‘clean’ ingredients, but I had no idea how to properly choose products for my hair type and needs.
WHAT MADE YOU SEEK OUT THE INNATE LIFE? HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS?
When everything shut down at the beginning of COVID, I decided to stop straightening my hair everyday because I had nowhere to go. I always knew my hair was ‘curly,’ but I had no idea how to wear it ‘curly.’ I turned to YouTube for advice and learned there was a whole curly hair world that I had no idea even existed! I stumbled upon The Innate Life and resonated with the products instantly.
WHAT SETS THE INNATE LIFE APART FROM OTHER COMPANIES IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY?
I love the simplicity and quality of the products and brand. The emphasis on natural ingredients that actually work is very appealing to me.
WHAT IS YOUR HAIRCARE ROUTINE NOW?
PRE-WASH
Before washing, I apply several drops of the Rose Hair Elixir and dry detangle my hair. This step really helps prevent my hair from being over moisturized and makes it so much easier to detangle. Every other week, I apply the Problematic Scalp Treatment and Herbal Hair Mask and leave it on for a few hours to overnight and then wash. This step was the game changer in my healthy hair journey.
DURING WASH
I wash my hair 2-3 times per week with the Herbal Shampoo + Conditioner (discontinued). I LOVE how my hair smells and feels after using this combo! I have hard water, so I clarify with a chelating shampoo 1-2 times per month and deep condition after.
POST-WASH
After washing, I apply leave-in conditioner and a hard hold gel to my soaking wet hair, wet plop for 5-10 minutes, micro-plop with a t-shirt and then let air dry. Once dry, I use a couple drops of the Rose Hair Elixir to scrunch out the crunch. To refresh on day 2 or 3, I spray lightly with water, scrunch and let it air dry. Then I apply a drop or two of the Rose Hair Elixir to soften and tame any frizz.
HOW DID YOUR HAIR CHANGE AFTER USING THE INNATE LIFE PRODUCTS?
My hair went from incredibly stringy, dry, damaged and brittle to moisturized, bouncy and shiny. It's like I have completely different hair! Also, I purchased the Scalp Treatment for my husband because he struggles with dandruff, not thinking I would use it much, but I love it! It has healed my scalp and I didn't even realize I had scalp problems!
WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE PRODUCT + WHY?
The Rose Hair Elixir is by far the hardest working and most versatile product in my routine. It keeps my hair properly moisturized, my scalp soothed and my frizz and tangles at bay. I couldn't live without it!
WHO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THESE PRODUCTS TO?
Anyone with hair! I have my husband completely converted and I've recommended the products to both straight haired and curly haired friends.
HOW DOES THE INNATE LIFE FIT INTO A LIFESTYLE COMMITTED TO HEALTH + WELLNESS?
Our family's health is incredibly important to us. We are very aware of the products we use in and around our home, on our bodies, in our kitchens, etc. The Innate Life offers us high quality products without all of the toxins found in conventional products. We are incredibly grateful to have The Innate Life on our healthy team!
