Sweetpea's Naturals
Sweetpea’s Natural’s, named after my loving mother Rosa Marie is committed to bringing products to empower the consumer.
Beautiful hair is healthy hair, meaning that we will bring products that are vegan, cruelty-free, and made with the least amount of harmful chemicals possible.
All hair care products are 100% recyclable and reusable and can be used on natural, relaxed, and textured hair, as well as wigs and extensions.
My mother and I loved going to the salon together when I was younger. I was always told that “your hair is your crown.” So my mother took pride in making sure that my hair was always done. From the twisties with the drawstring ponytail, to the simple press and curl, my hair was always “fried, dyed, and laid to the side.”
Weaves and wigs are just as important to the history of Black hair in equivalent to braids and natural hair styling. In Ancient Egypt, women took turns creating wigs and extensions adorned with length, shells and beads to protect their natural hair from the elements and pests. Wigs and weaves were a sign of status and nobility, as well as one of the first forms of self care. (Hence why a 30' "bussdown" always absolutely gives!)
As I got older, I became committed to taking care of my hair with less chemicals and harmful products. I quit relaxing my hair and used wigs and weaves as a protective style. I grew to learn that many products like relaxers and other styling products are the reason for Uterine Cancer, Breast Cancer, Alopecia, and many harmful illnesses that plague African American women and children.
Sweetpea’s Naturals is here to heal you and empower you through your hair. You are meant to feel beautiful with our products and healthy as your hair is your crown.
