This field gathers deep insights from cultural practices, particularly those of Black and mixed-race communities, providing a grounded understanding of how botanicals have historically supported scalp vitality and hair growth. It helps systematize this generational wisdom, allowing for the creation of consistent, almost automatic routines that simplify daily care.
