In a world that often moves too fast, I found that my hair journey became more than a quest for healthy hair—it turned into a transformative journey of self-discovery, restoration, and mindfulness.

I cut my hair in 2018 as a symbolic step towards a long-held dream of creating a haircare and personal care brand. Soon after, I experienced the blessing of pregnancy but also an unexpected loss of my hairline. This vulnerable moment showed me the profound link between well-being and hair health—how stress, lifestyle, and genetics all play a role. This insight laid the foundation for otonga.

Driven to create a product that genuinely worked, we began experimenting with sustainable ingredients and saw promising results. Then, amidst this journey, I faced unimaginable losses, losing my sister, grandmother, and mother within months. Through grief, I continued building otonga, however now determined to make it a brand that reflected healing and resilience.

otonga keeps growing as we continue to evolve and seek to refine our formulations of the self and the vision manifested. otonga stands as more than a brand; it’s a journey and an invitation to anyone seeking mindful self-care and a return to their truth. I hope my story illustrates that true growth takes time and truly never really ends and that both life and wellness are journeys of inner healing, restoration and simply living in your divine truth. Welcome to otonga.
