Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Hurt.
Hi Ashley, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
I have always been totally against natural hair as relaxed hair was more manageable for me. I have eczema in my head and relaxers would always irritate my scalp but I didn’t care! I began the natural journey by force in 2019. I kept braids the majority of the year so there wasn’t a purpose to keep getting a relaxer. I transitioned for 10 months and decided to do the big chop in April 2020. I never had to manage my hair in its natural state so I was totally lost.
Even though I do have a cosmetology license, I did not do natural hair often, especially my own! I tried all of these store-bought products until I was introduced to handmade, all-natural hair products. IT’S THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD! The only people that could tell me about my hair were the ones who looked like me and had hair like mine, so natural products made by African American women were my choice! Then I was introduced to Ayurveda by a friend of mine. Mind-blowing! I started researching Ayurveda heavily! I started making conditioners and masks for my hair using Ayurvedic Herbs and methods that changed the way I looked at my own hair.
My eczema cleared up almost immediately. I started making oils and butter and shampoo bars that changed my entire shampoo day routine and regimen! I started adding Ayurvedic Herbs to my conditioners and I never stopped! I asked a few friends to be my testers and for their opinions on some oils I made and they loved it! TheHairapy Infusions was born!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road but it hasn’t been a nightmare either.
My struggles mainly included trying to find the right ayurvedic herb combinations for what I wanted to focus on. It takes about 3 months for the complete infusion process in order for me to actually bottle the oils, so it’s not a quick process.
As you know, we’re big fans of Thehairapy Infusions, LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Thehairapy Infusions is an all-natural, ayurvedic hair growth business.
We focus on ayurvedic hair products that grow and thicken your hair and beards. Products are for men, women, and children of all ages and ethnicities with all hair types. Ayurveda is the holistic way of healing the body and growing hair in India. What sets us apart is not a lot of people know about ayurvedic ingredients and not a lot of businesses have hair growth oils with ayurvedic herbs in them that not only grow but thickens as well.
I am most proud of being able to make believers out of the naysayers. I stress the importance of consistency and once someone uses the oils on a consistent basis, I always get those “Girl! I need another bottle!” Messages! Lol, I love it!!
How do you define success?
I measure success by making my clients happy! Without them and their success stories, there would be no TheHairapy Infusions!
