Our Philosophy
I have always had a deep passion for natural hair care, but it was my personal journey with locs that truly sparked my mission to create specialized products for their unique needs. 19 Years ago, I embarked on my locs journey, inspired by the versatility that locs offer. However, along the way, I met challenges in finding products that effectively nurtured my locs while aligning with my values of natural ingredients and sustainability. Driven by this gap in the market and my own quest for quality products, I began researching asking myself, what products would work to keep our locs healthy and vibrant? Causing me to create U+ Essentials. I engaged with the locs community, listening to their experiences ,and understanding their frustrations.
It became clear that there was a market for goods that improved locs lifetime and overall health in addition to providing maintenance. The products were created to solve my clientele problems. During styles certain clients experienced dryness, scalp itching, and flakes.
All the ingredients I chose were plant based and chosen for its nourishing properties and compatibility with locs. Clients' experiences and suggestions allowed me to fine-tune each formula, ensuring they delivered on their promises of hydration, strength, and overall locs and scalp health. In addition to developing products, I am dedicated to building a locs care community.
The foundation of my locs hair product creation journey is honesty, quality, and a sincere desire to positively influence the lives of others who value their locs as much as I do.
