Bayard Rustin was an openly gay Black man who was Martin Luther King’s right hand man. He planned the Million Man March and was subject to scrutiny for his sexuality and deemed a “deviant” and “pervert”.

Bayard Rustin can be found in nearly every picture of MLK yet he has undoubtedly been erased from history. We have to fix that.

For those who don’t know, I launched my hair care company not too long ago. I’m currently selling a unisex hair & beard growth serum that’s all natural, high quality, coconut oil free, and makes your beard & scalp feel like it’s chewing minty fresh gum 🥰

I make everything by hand, my formula came from my own creativity and research (I didn’t buy from a private label like most new hair care companies are doing).

As someone who suffers from extreme shedding due to old chemical burns from the relaxers I used to get, breakage because my natural hair is super dry and super, gross dandruff that’s induced by stress - I can honestly say that my oil is pretty bomb and it can alleviate any mild scalp issues like dryness, flakes and itchiness. As for beards, this oil will give you an extra boost if your main problem is shedding.

This serum contains several different carrier and essential oils that promotes hair growth and will reduce breakage and excessive shedding. However, it’s important to take care of your hair and beard - you must wash and condition your hair or beard due to the fact that oils are not moisturizers, they just seal in moisture. Meaning, this is the last product you apply when you are doing your regimen.

You can use this product while wearing protective styles by applying the product to your scalp and edges but be sure to moisturize your hair as well.

This product is not intended to cure or to sell anyone false hopes and dreams. This is to give you an extra boost! If you can’t naturally grow a beard, this can’t help you or if you have any underlying health issues that’s affecting hair growth on your scalp, I think it’s important to speak to a doctor to help your figure out the most appropriate treatment for you.

This shouldn’t be used by pregnant women because some of the essential oils can probably induce labor but it can be used during your post partum period because that’s when extreme shedding occurs.

I’ve compared my product to the others on the market - what sets mine apart is just the quality and there’s no fillers in it (soybean oil, corn oil, mineral oil or petroleum).

It’s truly amazing. This thing have grown my edges many times after I ripped them out after detangling incorrectly 😂

Support ya girl please 💓

Toxic people who are in denial love associating themselves with people who make them feel comfortable with their dysfunctional ways. Thats why I have the most respect for those who acknowledged their toxic behaviour and recovered/ changed. Not only are they mentally aware of the problem and value their future more than the discomfort of change, but they don't want to be a source of pain for others either. Accountability is a trait of the strong minded. All respect to you.
