The Story Behind OBG Hair Nectar

The Story Behind OBG Hair Nectar

After I had my daughter, I started noticing my hair thinning.

At first, I told myself it was just normal postpartum shedding. But as the weeks went by, more and more hair kept coming out, and eventually it became something I couldn't ignore.

It wasn't just about losing hair.

It was about losing a little part of myself at a time when everything in my life had already changed. I didn't feel like the woman I recognised anymore.

I wanted to feel like myself again, but I also wanted to care for my hair in a way that felt natural and gentle.

During my travels through Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Australia, I became fascinated by the way different cultures had used botanical oils for generations. Everywhere I went, there was a deep respect for plants and their ability to care for the body, whether that was the skin, hair or overall wellbeing.

That stayed with me.

So I started researching the oils that had been used in traditional hair rituals for centuries. Castor oil, avocado oil, pumpkin seed oil, baobab oil, rosemary, evening primrose and many more.

What started as curiosity quickly became an obsession.

My home turned into a little workshop, filled with bottles, notebooks and endless combinations of botanical oils. Working alongside a formulation engineer, I spent months adjusting the balance, testing different blends and refining every detail until it felt exactly right.

Slowly, I noticed the difference.

My hair felt softer, stronger and healthier. More importantly, I felt more like me again.

That experience made me realise I couldn't be the only woman feeling this way.

Hair changes happen throughout our lives. They can be influenced by postpartum recovery, stress, menopause, ageing, hormonal changes and everyday life. Yet so much of modern haircare focuses on repairing damage after it's happened, rather than caring for the scalp and hair before washing.

That's why I created OBG Hair Nectar.

Not simply as another hair oil, but as a pre wash ritual.

A few quiet minutes to massage the scalp, nourish the hair with 100% botanical ingredients and reconnect with yourself before stepping into the shower.

Because when you feel like yourself again, everything else starts to feel possible.
