Pink Root Products

   

With a personal understanding of the struggles posed by years of relaxer and heat usage on hair, Dominican-American Mariel Mejia’s own journey led her to the path of natural solutions. She began crafting homemade recipes in her mother’s kitchen, striving to rejuvenate her hair’s health. Fueled by her passion for transformative and natural formulas, the New York native created Pink Root Products with a mission to guide individuals, much like herself, in embracing their natural hair. Carefully selected ingredients cater to a spectrum of hair textures, from wavy to curly, kinks, and coils, aiming to restore and promote new growth by infusing nutrient-rich and organic elements into each meticulously crafted formulation.
