Project Description

WHO WE ARE

My name is Susan Edwards and I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. I am a Stanford-trained chemical engineer that believes in wellness and self care. I have experienced flaking on my scalp since college and the shampoos recommended to me by dermatologists were severely drying out my hair and causing breakage.

Founder of Uhai

 

Over two years, I tested formulations with friends and family in Ghana and Liberia who were also looking for better solutions to address their scalp issues and banish dry hair. I launched Uhai, which means life in Swahili, in 2017 in Liberia.

OUR MISSION

At Uhai, we are seeking to build a global community of women that celebrate Africa and embrace wellness. How do we do it? 

  • By showcasing the continent’s powerful botanics
  • Celebrating the beauty and hair of Black women
  • Building a tribe that seeks to be connected with their roots
  • Creating linkages amongst Black women from across the diaspora
Oil Blend

 

WHAT WE DO

We create products that deliver maximum nutrients and moisture to the hair and scalp by using the continent’s most powerful botanics. Our inaugural product collection features baobab, a superfood from southern and western Africa that has the highest antioxidant content of any fruit and anti-inflammatory properties.

Uhai Baobab Collection

 

Our products have been featured by Essence, Allure, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, The Zoe Report and Well+Good. We have even won an Allure Best of Clean Beauty Award two years in a row for our Oil Blend and Intensive Deep Conditioner!!!

GOAL OF OUR CAMPAIGN
During the pandemic, the sales of our Scalp Serum increased - showing to us that our community values scalp care. With this increased focus on scalp health, we want to develop new products specifically around cleansing and exfoliation and are looking to raise $5,000 for new product development.
