Hey! I’m Sharnae—founder of Nature’s Little Secret.

Before all this, I worked as a stylist for 8 years. I loved doing hair, but once I had my first child, I stepped away from behind the chair. I thought that part of my life was over… but clearly, hair had other plans.

Back in 2014, I decided I was done with relaxers. My hair was thinning like crazy… then one day I looked in the mirror and said, “Oop—wait, I can see my scalp? Oh absolutely not.” 😂 I have naturally thick, dense hair, so that wasn’t sitting right with me at all.

So I went natural, thinking the hardest part was behind me—but nope. The prices on natural hair products were wild, and a lot of them didn’t even deliver. I wanted to create something different.

Let me be real—I didn’t even want to start a business. I didn’t know a thing about entrepreneurship. I actually went to college for nursing and left after just four months.

But what I did have was determination, a deep love for hair care, and a borderline obsession with the beauty supply store (my family swore it was my second home).

So I took matters into my own hands—literally. I started researching ingredients, mixing formulas in my kitchen, and testing them on myself until I created products that made my hair feel like I spent a bag… without actually spending one.

In 2018 (with a little push from my husband), Nature’s Little Secret was born.

That same year, I packed up my products and debuted NLS for the very first time at the Baltimore Natural Hair Expo. I was terrified—I had no idea what to expect. I was smiling in the picture, but my heart was pounding, and don’t mind the hair—I was still growing out my  heat damage, okay? 😂 But I showed up anyway. Scared and all.

And that day changed everything.

       

Originally, I created these products with textured hair like mine in mind. But over time, women with all hair types started falling in love with them—and I’m so glad they did. That just proves great ingredients and real results work for everybody.

Thanks for being here 💜💚💗
