The natural hair products they recommended worked really well on my hair, and seeing the science behind it was kind of cool.❞

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.❞
