MEET RAECHEL
My name is Raechel and I am a mom of two littles, living in a small town. My hair journey was inspired by my love for herbs, plants, and self care. After my second child was born, I found my hair getting brittle and breaking and there was just no life in my hair at all. I searched for natural shampoos high and low when I came across The Innate Life’s line of products in 2019. I watched everyone's hair transformations for about a year before I decided to try it myself in 2020 and I wish I hadn't waited! By this point, my once thick, luscious red hair was dull, broken, damaged from dye, and my hair fit into the smallest of ponytails. I was losing my hair.
HOW DID YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR BEFORE USING THE INNATE LIFE?
I used whatever ‘natural’ shampoo I could find and sometimes used coconut oil but none of that helped my hair.
WHAT MADE YOU SEEK OUT THE INNATE LIFE? HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS?
I actually found an influencer under the name Holistic Habits and she was talking about these products she uses for her gorgeous hair, and The Innate Life was mentioned. I started researching the line of products and really liked what I saw.
WHAT IS YOUR HAIRCARE ROUTINE NOW?
PRE-WASH
Every three days, I put the Problematic Scalp Treatment and the Rosemary Scalp Treatment all over my scalp generously. I alternate between both of those so that I get the effects of both and all the herbs they offer. I leave this in all day until evening, and after I apply the Scalp Treatment, I use the Herbal Hair Mask throughout my strands.
DURING WASH
I shampoo my hair with The Innate Life Shampoo about 2x to get all the yummy oils out of my hair. Next I condition my hair with The Innate Life Conditioner (discontinued).
POST-WASH
I gently pat dry my hair and work the Leave-In Conditioner into my strands while it's damp gently with my hands. My last steps in my routine is to add the Rose Hair Elixir once my hair is dry and brush with my wooden brush, then I put my hair into a braid with a silk scrunchie. That's it!
HOW DID YOUR HAIR CHANGE + HOW LONG DID IT TAKE FOR YOU TO SEE RESULTS?
My hair immediately went from coarse to a softer texture, it improved more over time and my hair grew quickly. My hair was falling out by the wads and it was so damaged from dying. Now my hair has been growing steadily, it is thick again, the color is vibrant, and my hair is as soft as my child's perfect hair. It took time for these results because my hair was so damaged. The Innate Life aided my growth and I had to cut out the damage multiple times to get it out, it was so bad. It is a journey and worth it!
WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE PRODUCT AND WHY?
The Problematic Scalp Treatment and Rose Hair Elixir are a type. The Scalp Treatment has changed my scalp and how my hair looks when it's growing in and it feels so tingly and refreshing. Your self care routine just elevates. The Rose Hair Elixir has the most lovely smell while also not being over the top oily. You smell fresh as a rose literally while rocking the shiniest strands.
WHO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THESE PRODUCTS TO?
Everyone. There isn't a person who couldn’t benefit from it – man, woman or children alike.
