Our Story
Our Story is the Story of True Love…
Early one morning, while bathing her precious little baby, a mother, our founder, realized that the commercial baby products had damaged her daughter’s tender skin leaving dry burnt patches and boils on her scalp. She used her culinary skills to whip up her first Shea Butter and Coconut Oil baby butter. The patches and boils were cleared!
This discovery sparked her imagination to search for other things nature had in stock for us. Her baby’s amazing mop of hair also needs proper care. The kinky nature of her daughter’s hair texture needs to be properly managed…

First identify why your child cries when you make her hair. The 2 key culprits we have discovered is their short attention span and pains associated with hair care.
Most moms have found using storytelling or distracting them with snacks, toys or playing their favourite cartoon very helpful in making heir kids stay to style their hair.
If their hair is soft and easy to manage, that’s less pain for them.
Always moisturize their hair before combing. Comb their hair from gradually and tenderly from tips to root. If your kids’ hair is long, you can section the hair during hair wash or before combing so you can handle each section at a time.
To make sure your child’s hair care experience is pain-free, make sure to develop a hair care routine for them using Mara Cruiz Kids Hair Care System. Refer to our response in the FAQ – ” How do I Nurture & grow my kids hair?”
