BAH BAH’S NATURALS
Natural homemade hair products.
“It’s not just hair. It’s a Lifestyle”
“Hair health has been the passion I didn't know I had. It all started when I finally decided to go natural and transition my hair. After 6 months of transitioning, I was fed up with my damaged, relaxed hair. I finally took the scissors and chopped my hair. It was great, overwhelming feeling at the moment, but I would say my insecurities did get the best of me at times. Since wearing my hair in its natural form wasn't something I was use to. No turning back now, I vowed to myself to maintain healthy hair. I made my own recipes and was particular about the products I added to my hair. I want you too, to experience my nourishing recipes..”
