I'm an author, historian, and producer. My days are spent in archives, on deadlines, and in front of a camera, and my own upkeep tends to fall to the bottom of the list. My hair was always thick and full. So, when it started turning dry and brittle a few years ago, I was in denial about it longer than I should have been. I kept finding more and more of it collecting in my hairbrush. I tried a few products. Nothing changed. Then I tried “Hair Growth and Strengthening Elixir by Seeds of Life.” Within a few weeks, there was noticeably less breakage, and this is the part that surprised me — the moisture actually stays put. For my hair, that's a big win. The Rose Water Mist Spray Elixir with Clove and Peppermint was the unexpected bonus. It's refreshing and aromatic, and I catch myself spraying it during the day just to take the edge off a stressful afternoon. I'm a historian by trade, which means I'm trained to be skeptical and to check sources. I don't typically endorse products, and I rarely have time to write reviews — only when I feel strongly. These are natural, thoughtfully developed products, and they have my stamp of approval. I purchased both myself.
