Naptural Beauty Supply is dedicated to ending the stigma around natural hair by instilling confidence in the black community, we provide the convenience of having the tools and products in one place, and empowering others to love themselves naturally. I started Naptural Beauty Supply for two reasons, my premature daughter, Taylor’s need for hair growth & also out of pure frustration in my natural hair journey. I grew tired of having to go to the local beauty supply store, where I couldn’t get help, because the owners were not black and could not relate to my hair and skin needs. I also had to go to the local drug store, Wa-lmart and possibly online, just to complete a wash day. I dreamed of a place where you could get everything in one place and the owner was Black, and Naptural was born.

My natural hair journey started out rough, this journey has been a wild one. People went from asking me if I am ok (sis, you good?) to asking how I achieved a certain style. 

One of the most memorable comments was “Natural hair is not for me.” How could the hair that grows from your head, not be more for you?! I knew then that it was not a matter of not liking one's hair, but not understanding Black Hair. How could we know about something many of us haven't even seen. Growing up, relaxers were in, I cannot remember having natural hair. I had been getting relaxers as far back as I could remember. My only interaction with black natural hair was my childhood bestie, who had a huge mane of beautiful hair. 

 We lost our roots when we were ripped from our land and brought to foreign soil. The pioneers like Madam C.J. Walkers that came before us, helped pave the way to empower us to make products for us. We have since tapped BACK into our natural roots and worked together to create “For us, by us” hair products. There are so many amazing products out there that work on many different types of natural hair, so finding the right products is a key part of the journey. 

The Story Behind Holy Grail Hair Oil:

 I went into labor at 19 weeks with twins, a son and a daughter. I was admitted into the hospital on bed rest, the doctors advised I had to make it to 24 weeks or my twins would die. 

On a dreary Sunday morning, at 23 weeks my body kicked into active labor & my son, Tyreek Leon, weighing 1 pound 4 ounces was stillborn. Still trying to wrap my head around my loss while the doctors tried to keep me pregnant with my daughter, but an hour later my body kicked into labor again. What the doctors said was ringing in my ears “24 weeks or they won’t make it.”

My daughter, Taylor, came sliding into the world, feet first. I heard her little cry and I cried. The doctors did everything they could to save my baby. Weighing 1 pound 8 ounces and the cutest little bald baby girl, I saw the light in her eyes. It was the doctors responsibility to save her life, which they did & it was my responsibility to help her hair grow. I mixed oils to help her hair grow & now her hair is down her back. That product is now known as Holy Grail Hair Oil & it’s our best seller!
