MEET RITA
I'm a 2D-3D computer graphics artist. I moved quite a bit in my life, throughout three countries. I do believe all this moving from one extreme weather to another definitely affected my hair and skin pretty badly, since I wasn't treating it as I should have. Meanwhile, in my free time I like doing different physical activities. I like to constantly learn new things, like research about self care, and hair care was a big one for me. This is how I got introduced to The Innate Life!
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE TEXTURE OF YOUR HAIR?
My hair is curly and low to medium density, but my hair strands are thick.
HOW DID YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR BEFORE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE INNATE LIFE PRODUCTS?
I tried many things but with not much luck. I didn't know how to style my hair, which was a big problem as well. I went from using only drugstore brands, to using only expensive professional brands. Then I switched to using only natural products like eggs, fruit, vegetables, oil and cheese on my hair, which was more messy than helpful. Then back to drugstore products again, because I got tired of making salads on my hair.
WHAT MADE YOU SEEK OUT THE INNATE LIFE PRODUCTS? HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE COMPANY?
My hair was in a terrible state for a very long time. I had no idea how to take care of it; I was told to brush it out, which made me rip and break a lot of my hair. Back then, curly hair wasn't considered pretty, so I straightened it out almost on a daily basis for years. On the days that I didn't straighten it, I put it in a tight ponytail, and that made me lose hair at the hairline and a bit at the crown area. After a while, I stopped straightening it and putting in a ponytail (or box braids). That's when I really saw how it looked. It was very thin, breaking off for no reason, not growing at all, lost some of my curl pattern, and it was very dry – like hay. I started chopping some of it off, and tried many products using YouTube for information, but with not too much luck. I kept looking through YouTube for more hair care reviews, and stumbled upon a couple of channels that recommended the Rose Hair Elixir. It was the first product I tried, and I was completely blown away. As bad as my hair was, it felt really nice! After a while, I decided to try more products from The Innate Life after looking into the company some more.
WHAT SETS THE INNATE LIFE APART FROM OTHER COMPANIES IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY?
Their products actually work. The advertisement they put out there is the actual truth. And on top of that, it's all natural, which is incredible. I've been trying every possible product out there (natural or professional) that promised to fix my hair, and The Innate Life was the only company that actually worked for me.
WHAT IS YOUR HAIRCARE ROUTINE NOW?
I wash my hair once a week.
PRE-WASH
The day before I wash my hair, I put on the Scalp Treatment and Herbal Hair Mask overnight, and wash it off in the morning.
DURING WASH
I wash my hair a couple of times with Herbal Shampoo, and follow up with the Herbal Conditioner (discontinued).
POST-WASH
I dry my hair, and spray my hair and scalp with the Neroli Hair Primer. I follow up with the Leave-In Conditioner spray, and then apply a curl cream. I brush my hair out from mid section and down, apply a hair gel, and blow dry. Once it's dry, I finish with the Rose Hair Elixir all over my hair, using around 4-5 drops. Following Manes By Mell's YouTube channel helped me understand hair a lot more in depth. It inspired me to try The Innate Life products, featured in some of her reviews and tutorials, and I learned how to style my curly hair properly.
HOW DID YOU SEE YOUR HAIR CHANGE AFTER USING THE INNATE LIFE PRODUCTS?
I went from dry, brittle, short, fragile hair to healthy, bouncy, shiny, long, thicker hair. I also went from having a constantly itchy, flaky scalp to a very healthy scalp. My hair doesn't fall out as it used to, in the past I was losing concerning amounts of hair.
WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE PRODUCT AND WHY?
It's really hard to choose because I was never committed to one brand as much as I am to The Innate Life. Every product I use is very important to me. But if I have to choose, then it's the Scalp Treatment. It fixed both my scalp and hair problems. I am growing this amazing new thick curly hair, on a very healthy scalp.
WHO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THESE PRODUCTS TO?
Anyone. Whether you need to fix your scalp and/or hair problems, or you want to increase the health of your scalp and/or growth of your hair. I recommended it to my mom and sister and they noticed a huge change in their hair. My sister has a different hair texture than me, and after using The Innate Life products for some time, she was amazed at how her hair looks today.
HOW DOES THE INNATE LIFE FIT INTO A LIFESTYLE COMMITTED TO HEALTH + WELLNESS?
The Innate Life products are not only natural, they also work very well and they don't cause irritation. The company actually cares about us. Also they helped me reduce my stress levels from being so upset with my scalp and hair, which also reduced hair fall big time.
Thank you, The Innate Life!
