It’s a huge honor to share with you a product birthed out of desperation that has now become a holy grail in our household. Adovz products are natural, non-toxic and home-made, formulated for black and mixed-race people. They are for hair growth and help in managing all kinky hair types.
I faced two major setbacks that left me edgeless, literally! – Postpartum hair loss and hard water/dry climate.
First of all, I learned the hard way that using hard water to wash your hair coupled with an extremely dry climate can damage hair. Please google the water in your state/province to know if it’s hard or soft. A few months after knowing this, I experienced postpartum hair loss.
Satisfied customers worldwide and growing
I woke up four months after having my beautiful baby girl, and my edges were gone. I thought we went to bed together (my edges and I), but by morning they were nowhere to be found! In reality, my hair had been breaking for weeks. I was combing handfuls out with each wash. But that morning, it became obvious.
I looked in the mirror, and I was devastated! I almost didn’t take these pictures, because I didn’t want anyone to ever see me like this. But God was like, “My friend, take the pictures jo! Someday you’ll need them to share your story. Don’t worry, all things work together for good!” So I did. I realized I needed something that would retain moisture longer than water.

For thick, kinky 4c hair, rule #1 is to keep it moisturized to avoid breakage. Our hair is like plants. When we don’t wet it, it dries up and the leaves fall off.
Frustrated, I went in the kitchen and started mixing together natural, healthy, edible, plant-based items I’ve used on my hair in the past that usually retain moisture. That was the birth of the moisturizing spray. I started using it as a combo with the hair butter that I’ve been making for years. Two weeks later, we met with a black natural hair chemist (yes, there are people who studied black hair in school!) and went through all the ingredients and she enlightened us on what to add/remove for maximum moisture retainment and better scent. The rest is history.
A month after that fateful day, my edges were visibly growing back. Except this time, the texture was softer and my curls were more defined like a baby’s hair. It also became much easier to comb through. Whenever our friends visit, male and female, they would ask for samples. And just like me, they started sharing how their hair is now thriving and they kept asking for more.
