With the bushfires still soaring through our count

With the bushfires still soaring through our country it’s difficult to act ‘business as usual’. To even think of anything other than the fires brings a feeling of guilt. We are very lucky to have a sustainable business that in fact somewhat promotes carbon removal from the air by supporting banana tree plantation. We know that the party of life still goes on so please, if you’re heading to a festival this summer think of using our sustainable hair fitted rather than the horrible, cheap, Chinese plastic hair.

Our feed in braids..! Getting you the ultimate festival look without costing the earth.⁠

To get our banana hair we use a waste product of the banana tree, thus making more use of our gift from mother nature. Banana trees have one of the biggest leaves in the 'tree world' making them very sufficient at drawing carbon from the atmosphere. To support banana hair, supports banana tree plantation, saves land space by making use of a waste product and therefore helps mother earth.⁠

Make this festival season a sustainable one ✌🏼🌲🌍.

Despite the contrary consensus; 2020 will be a challenging year but hopefully the snowball effect of a positive movement seen in 2019. -
We (everyone) will need to make immediate drastic changes to our lives if we are to secure the survival of our planet and our species for the sake of us and our children. We must remember we have been let down by our money hungry governments for decades, we can not trust or rely on them; our future lies in the hands of us, the people, this planet is ours not just theirs.
-
For 2020 regardless of if there is drastic, immediate change or not, we will still continue to see the devastation and extreme weather resulting in loss of human, animal, insect and flora life. Of which I am/we are in the thick of here in Australia. Climate change has never been so prevalent. So extreme. So god damn scary.
-
My heavy heart is with the people and animals who have and will continue to lose their homes and lives.
-
So my reflection of 2019 is it was the year our eyes were opened, the year we put our foot down, the year we refused to conform, the year we embraced public defiance. My hope and belief for 2020 is the beginning of finding enlightenment; I hope humans can control temptations in this consumerist world we find ourselves in and join the dots between us and earth. We are all one, we are all connected, we can all live in harmony. The best things in life truly are free. I will continue to enjoy my life with my precious family and friends whilst keeping the future of my planet at the forefront of my mind. Always. -
A thought to leave with; think of where you spend your money as a vote. If you buy sustainable palm oil you are voting in favour of deforestation, if you buy meat you are voting in favour of drought. Instead...Vote for kindness, vote for a positive future, vote for the planet. Every. Single. Day.

Stay Authentic.⁠

In recent times we hired a marketing guy to boost our social status; we handed over our account and the money and off he went. We saw instant results, we were getting followed by a significant number in a short space of time, so from that respect he was doing a good job and we were happy. When the target was reached and the job was finished we gained our account back; we quickly realised that yes, we had gained a lot of followers but the majority were of no relevance to our business. There was very little engagement and we struggled to captivate the audience. Moral of the story; be true to yourself, do your thing and you will attract your tribe. Stay authentic and stay genuine. We could have done with this advice to save us from fighting through the 'irrelevant' crowd to try to be seen by our people.⁠

The fashion industry has a lot to answer for in terms of sustainability. Too many people/companies want to make as much profit in as little time; resulting in fast, cheap products that cost the earth...but not your pocket. We make sweet, slow love to our products! They don't cost the earth OR your pocket! Win win ✌🏼.⁠

Our insta feed is saturated with cheap, plastic hair...yes they look AWESOME, but after just one wear all those colourful locks go straight in to landfill or the ocean. That is so much material just from one person and will take up so much space right? Now imagine that on a global scale! Festival season is approaching in Australia...this year, be a conscious raver ✌🏼.⁠

The hair fibre is made from the banana tree stem; the part that connects the fruit to the tree. This stem is cut away when the fruit is removed and it is normally treated as a waste product. Until now.
