❝I approached MYAVANA because I was transitioning, trying to figure out my natural hair that I hadn't seen in 28 years. I could see my hair transitioning and it wasn't matching from the crown of my head to the ends. I decided to give MYAVANA a try. Once I had my strand of hair analyzed everything changed! The natural hair products they recommended worked really well on my hair, and seeing the science behind it was kind of cool.❞
❝I tried MYAVANA to find out more about my hair, general education, and tips and techniques to grow healthy hair. I got a very comprehensive analysis and new understanding about my hair that I had never known before. MYAVANA is a resource that I can always refer back to as I do different things to my hair. It's is a creative, innovative one stop shop in growing healthy hair.❞
❝Discovering MYAVANA has completely changed my hair. Before I was spending a lot of money and time trying to figure out what products worked. I could see my hair transitioning and how my hair did not match from the crown to the ends, which was such a challenge. Having my hair strand analysis was truly the big draw for me. MYAVANA gave me great natural products that work well with my hair - which I love. Also, seeing the science behind the process was really cool for me. Thanks to MYAVANA, I have a better understanding of my hair and hopefully that will help me learn more on how to manage my girls' hair as well.❞
