Mèsi an pil* [thank you so much] for stopping by!!

​

Spurred on by my natural hair journey in 2014, I wanted to discover and understand this new texture and version of my identity. But to study the hair on my head wasn’t enough. I had to go deep into my roots. I had to go far back in my history.

 

Kayèl Naturals began as my own effort to create tailor-made solutions for my hair but soon became a platform to tell the story of the powerful men and extraordinary women who came before me, a preservation of the indigenous methods and practices they used and a celebration of the rich beauty and tradition of their communities.

​

Born and raised on the lush island of Saint Lucia, I have created Kayèl Naturals to pay homage to the rich culture of the nation's tropical shores, and to encourage and promote self-acceptance, rest and relaxation. Today I have made it my mission to empower every curly beauty to celebrate and embrace their beginnings.

​

I pray that Kayèl inspires you.

​

Love,

Vernette
