About Afrobotanics - For years I was never able to wear my hair natural because it was too dry, brittle, tangled, coarse and hard to manage and style. Like many modern women I thought the best thing to do was to soften and straighten it using harsh chemicals. I learned from an unlikely source that I could have soft, manageable hair without applying damaging, harsh chemicals to my hair. I learned that natural oils and conditioning agents derived from botanical sources were best for my hair and it could grow looking thick, shiny and soft. My grandmother shared with me the different methods they used when she was growing up in the 1930’s in Swaziland to derive natural botanical oils and conditioning agents to stretch and soften their naturally curly, dry, coarse hair and also to care for their skin with a naturally foaming soapy shrub and moisturise with botanical oils or derivatives from cow or goat milk.
