MyNajeau

My mother’s name is Najat, but we affectionally call her Najeau, a lifelong nickname given to her by my grandmother, and the namesake of our brand. This line is my love letter to her. I remember living in Lebanon and seeing my mom sitting outside with her hair wrapped in Saran wrap. Her eyes were closed, her breath was calm, and her face was tilted up to the sun. I asked her what she had on her head, and she said it was a mix of oil and egg whites.

“Yuck,” I said, and then walked away. Moments later, I found myself shaking my head and wondering why my mom wouldn’t just buy the expensive hair products that I coveted so much. Conversation over. Fast forward a couple of decades and two children later, and today I find myself humbled by the truth-Najeau was right all along! NAJAT

I truly believe that your hair is your garden—it will grow, but you must first fertilize the soil and feed your follicles! Passed down from one generation to the next, my unique formulas are enriched with a custom blend of nurturing oils and ingredients to soothe, stimulate, and support a healthy scalp and restore healthy hair. Each Najeau experience is like a facelift for your hair! I hope you love them all! WITH EVERY PURCHASE, $1 WILL BE DONATED TO THE ORPHANAGE RUN BY THE SISTERS OF THE BASILIAN CHOUEIRITE IN LEBANON. On Tuesday August 4, 2020 Beirut, Lebanon experienced a horrific explosion that left over 4000 people injured, 300000 displaced and hundreds dead. The destruction spread for miles and miles and gas and fumes filled the air. With each sale we will donate $1 for the nuns and children ofan orphanage my family has known for a long time. In the Beirut area of Deir Siedet Al Salam,an orphanage and school for orphans and disabled children run by Sister Violet and Sister Patricia, both family friends, was heavily damaged. Four nuns were injured, and currently they are relocating all children and nuns to a new shelter in Zouk, Lebanon. The Sisters of the Basilian Choueirite are also taking in, receiving, and caring for all children who have now been displaced from all parts of Beirut. You can find their Orphanage and School on a website that explains who they are and what they do. They are truly selfless, and need any help you can give,whether it’s a dollar or just spreading the word. The people of Lebanon are still hurting and so as I get to spread this recipe from my family to yours, giving back to them is the only way to spread the love and intensity of a culture that gives so much to the world. Your kindness and generosity during this time is humbling, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts
