What's the tea? about the Founder!

I'm Ayana Pugh!

The Founder and CEO of Secrets of a Natural, and I've been passionate about healthy hair for as long as I can remember. In 2019, I became a Licensed Hair Loss Practitioner, but my journey started long before that. In 2016, I used a hair dye that completely changed my life and not in a good way. As I rinsed it from my hair, I watched my hair fall into the sink. It left my hair severely damaged, forcing me to do the big chop. I was devastated, but that moment sparked a promise to myself: I would never rely on harsh chemicals again. That experience inspired me to create Secrets of a Natural in October 2016—a natural hair care brand created from love, purpose, and real results.

Our products are carefully crafted with nourishing herbal teas, botanical ingredients, and natural oils to help restore moisture, improve manageability, and support healthy hair growth. We believe healthy hair begins with hydration, not harsh chemicals. My mission is simple: To help people embrace their natural hair with confidence by providing clean, effective products that actually work. No gimmicks. No harsh chemicals. No BS—just nature doing what it does best.

Whether you're beginning your healthy hair journey, recovering from damage, or simply looking to give your hair the love it deserves, I'm so grateful you're here.

Welcome to the Secrets of a Natural family.
