Meet our Founder, Angela Fields I'd been experiencing too many allergic reactions on my skin and my dermatologist wanted me to re-do my allergy and patch testing. The allergy test results didn't change much but OMG the patch test results did! I'm allergic to fragrance! Wait! What? Isn't fragrance in everything? Well, almost! Seriously 96-98% of hair care is fragranced! Yet 36 million are allergic to fragrance! I'd already decided to transition to my natural hair texture. And all I could find was fragranced hair care products. It was so frustrating! I even shopped in Canada and Europe. I found better options there but I still wasn't satisfied. I was already frustrated. Then I got mad. And then I got busy. I got busy buying raw ingredients and making hair care products in my kitchen. I'd try a formula and if I didn't like it I'd try another. And another. And another. Until I found my holy grail. I did this for about a year before I even thought about launching my hair care brand. I decided to launch as I knew I wasn't the only person living like this. I knew others were just as frustrated as me, if not more. Everybody should have options! Amazing options! Since I launched in 2015 it's been an insightful journey full of entrepreneurial, business and personal growth!

My name is LaTanya Lodge. I am a Licensed Cosmetologist with a passion for hair and healthy. When I embarked on my journey to a healthy hair regimen I knew nothing of what I was doing, so I began to research and learn about the science of hair and what our hair needs to be healthy, nourished and strong. In my research as I began to see the ingredient in some of the products marketed to this with natural hair, I became concerned and began formulating my own products, that yield healthy growing hair, using all natural and safe products. The difference in my company is that we do not only offer you all natural and safe products, but we offer you a regimen that comes with each of our bundle packages. These regimens have bee hand crafted by a Licensed cosmetologist and now with the new release of our reference planner, you can have guidance for 365 days. We take the guesswork out of a healthy hair care regimen and give you a roadmap from beginning to end for success.

Afroveda is a line of black-owned hair products made from the highest quality oils, herbs, and botanicals available. The makers use a unique process to keep the medicinal and energetic qualities of the plants. They penetrate the scalp and deliver the healing properties of nature. Once these oils reach the hair follicles, it stimulates healthy growth. Afroveda is one of the several black-owned companies that sprung from someone’s kitchen. The company is the brainchild of Mala Rhodes, a complementary care specialist. Rhodes mixed her own oils to use in massage therapy. When she decided to “go natural,” she needed products that would nourish and nurture her hair. She already had experience in making spa and body products. It made the transition to hair products easy. Mala now creates products for nourishing the scalp. Her products also increase hair growth and improve texture.
