MEET SHEENA
We wanted to share her story with you guys because her results are truly remarkable. We also found inspiration from her story because she made the conscious decision to put herself first through the beginning of quarantine in early 2020. Sheena decided to set time aside to learn and research ingredients that would improve the health of her skin and hair. There is nothing better than to cut out all the nasty ingredients and put your health first! Aside from Sheena's switch to natural, she also works as an engineer and a researcher. She finds technology fascinating and says her passion is circuit design.

We couldn't be more impressed and inspired by Sheena's desire to better herself and the world around her!

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE TEXTURE OF YOUR HAIR?
I have thin and fine low-porosity hair. Even the slightest amount of humidity makes my hair extremely frizzy.
HOW DID YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR BEFORE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE INNATE LIFE PRODUCTS?
My routine was pretty basic. I used a regular drugstore $5 shampoo and I had never used conditioner. I did oil my hair every week but that was pretty much it.
WHAT MADE YOU SEEK OUT THE INNATE LIFE PRODUCTS? HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE COMPANY?
Quarantine 2020 took a toll on my hair and skin and I consciously made a decision to take better care of my body. So, I decided to set time apart after work to research different brands and ingredients that can help me improve the quality of my skin and hair. When I went down that rabbit hole, I discovered OrganicallyAnna on YouTube and Instagram, and through her videos, I came to know about The Innate Life. I saw the Scalp Treatment was a cult favourite and immediately ordered it in May 2020!
WHAT SETS THE INNATE LIFE APART FROM OTHER COMPANIES IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY?
I really liked going through your ingredient list. I could see benefits for each ingredient and I did not find anything that was just a base and did not aid the treatment. I also noticed the influencers who use your products have been doing so for years and still do, and that says a lot about your impact and effectiveness of your formulations. In your Instagram highlights, I’ve seen pictures of you guys spending long hours in labs working on formulations and as a researcher myself, I know how much effort, time and trials it takes to get something right!
WHAT IS YOUR HAIRCARE ROUTINE NOW?
I wash my hair twice a week now, Tuesdays and Saturdays. I use shampoo and conditioner. I always use a hair mask and Scalp Treatment every time I wash my hair. I leave the Scalp Treatment overnight and hair mask for about an hour before washing.
On Tuesdays, I use OrganicallyAnna’s DIY scalp treatment on my scalp and coconut milk as a hair mask on my length and ends. On Saturdays, I have a bit more time, so I use The Innate Life’s Normal Scalp Treatment on my scalp and a castor oil egg mask on my length and ends. I take my time to massage the Scalp Treatment in. After I wash them out, I use an ACV rinse mixed with diluted green tea. On other days, I use regular Jojoba oil or Argan oil on my ends if I feel they’re dry.
HOW DID YOU SEE YOUR HAIR CHANGE AFTER USING THE INNATE LIFE PRODUCTS?
I noticed such a rapid increase in the rate at which my hair grew! I had severe hair fall along my hairline and I was scared I was going to have two bald spots near my temples, but I have noticed baby hairs growing which I had never seen before! I was initially hesitant to buy it, but after using this treatment for almost 6 months now, I cannot live without it.
WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE PRODUCT AND WHY?
The Normal Scalp Treatment is sadly the only product I have used. It has made such a big difference in my hair length, texture and hairline. Bonus point for its amazing and therapeutic smell! I cannot wait to try other products once I finish my current ones.
WHO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THESE PRODUCTS TO?
Everybody needs this Scalp Treatment in their lives! A little goes a long way, so I would suggest to be light-handed and then use more if needed. I really feel relaxed like I would in a spa when I’m massaging this onto my scalp with some music in the background.
HOW DOES THE INNATE LIFE FIT INTO A LIFESTYLE COMMITTED TO HEALTH + WELLNESS?
I had no idea how harmful sulfates and silicones were! I’m ashamed of myself for putting my hair through such trauma for so many years, but better late than never! Your product texture, fragrance, effectiveness, simple packaging, and excellent formulations make it a perfect addition to a routine focused on health and wellness.
