When you’ve recently become a new mother, hair care initially isn’t the first of your worries. But just as your lifestyle and priorities drastically change with the birth of a child, so does your hair; unfortunately, it’s not always for the best. Stephanie Eyison wanted to find a safe solution to treating her postpartum alopecia; she was not only concerned with growing her hair, but she also wanted to ensure her daughter’s safety during nursing. To relieve her concerns, Stephanie founded Atarah Haircare (based in Attleboro, MA), a haircare line that is 100% natural and 100% safe for your hair. As an intentional woman, Stephanie created this vegan line (free of sulfates, parabens, and phthalate!) to help effectively grow healthy hair. Stephanie continues to live life intentionally by committing herself to the work of self-love. If you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation (just as Stephanie did with her hair), we encourage you to dig deep into your internal wellness to build healthy practices and solutions. We admire Stephanie greatly for intentionally pursuing growth. We’d love to introduce you to Stephanie, Queen of Hair Growth!

What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I lost all my edges and about 50% of my hair after having my first baby. Postpartum alopecia was a foreign word to me, and as I soon, found out, it was a common phenomenon amongst new mothers. As a nursing mother, I was desperate to find a toxic-free, pure alternative that would not harm my daughter in any way. My incessant research led me to the formulation of my Scalp and Hair Treatment which grew my hair in as little as 4weeks. By month three, my hair was healthy and strong again.

How do you create the life you want?: 

By being intentional about every decision that concerns me. 

I always want to ensure that I never look back on anything with regret. 

I am analytical and tend to approach my vision, goals and plans that way. It has helped me greatly.

What makes you HUMAN?: The fact that I am not perfect! lol. That I feel almost everything... I empathize to a fault even though I don't seem like it.

What’s three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: 1.Self-love is intentional and starts not with the heart as people often believe, but with a mindset and a mindshift. You need to develop a stronghold in your mind that you are good enough, worthy enough and deserving enough.

2. You can't always have an internal shift by resorting to external solutions. This works sometimes, but more often than not, we need to have an internal dialogue about issues we face or have and resolve within first. That, to me, is holistic wellness.

3. Self-love involves being uncomfortable sometimes. 

It means confronting certain hindrances you know are not healthy - be it friends, habits - and that is not always a comfortable situation

What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Being intentional
