We are Lorraine & Rachel
Lo'Rache is a family-owned hair care business dedicated to creating handmade, 100% natural products designed to nourish and restore healthy hair. Our products are crafted to promote growth in thinning hair, define and enhance curls, as well as strengthening roots and ends. At Lo'Rache, we believe healthy hair starts with the most natural of ingredients providing premium quality solutions that help anyone and everyone achieve stronger, fuller and more vibrant hair.
About two years ago, I noticed gradual thinning of my hair, particularly on the top. I didn't know where to start and didn't purposefully set out to find a solution to fix the problem. I started by literally messing about with different ingredients I liked for my hair, starting with Jamaican black castor oil and shea butter. I mixed them with hair growth oils and carefully chosen ingredients, like rosemary oil for instance, and powders known for hair strength, hydration and growth purposes. After just four months of consistent use, at least three times per week, I observed tiny lines of hair appearing in areas where hair loss had been most noticeable. I was getting my groove back. Brushing my hair revealed strong resilient strands that did not break easily, and it became clearer to me that my hair was responding well to the product. Continued use over the months brought further improvement and after about a year, my hair became even more stronger and lengthy with a softness that was remarkable.
My hair was no more brittle or dry, but remained hydrated and moisturised for long periods of time with such a fragrant smell. My daughter began using the product and enjoyed the same results. Wider family members and friends joined us and soon after, orders flew in as more people discovered the benefits of the hair product and the results it has done for their needs. From a just a mere thought to grow my hair back, Lo'Rache was established with a mission to help anyone and everyone to reclaim their growing beauty back, giving our customers the confidence and the groove they need in knowing that their hair is well taken care of. Our most highlighted product, Lo'Rache Leave-In Conditioner is now available to order and now can be paired with our newest edition: Lo'Rache Herbal Scalp Oil, providing a luxurious and premium hair experience.

Reasons for Hair Loss
Your hair condition is usually telling the story of what's happening inside your body. By understanding your root causes, you can target them directly, creating the right conditions for stronger, healthier growth.
Diet Intake
Diets that low in protein, good circulatory heath or nutrient absorption suffers hair loss. Follicles can't maintain strong keratin or maintain healthy growth. Hair becomes weaker, shed fasters and becomes thinner.
Seasons of Change
Postpartum, pre-menopause, menopause are all hormonal shifts that are known to increase shedding and raise DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT shrinks the follicles leaving hair finer and slowing regrowth, particularly in the crown area. The older we get, the natural collagen and keratin starts to decline, making the scalp structure weakened resulting in hair being fragile and less dense.
Stress and Strains
Emotional and physical strain is one of the greatest inhibitors of healthy hair growth. Stress raises cortisol, disrupting your hair growth cycle and cutting off nutrient flow to the scalp.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle impacts healthy hair growth. Lack of sleep and pollution affects the quality of hair. Significant inflammation can damage follicle cells which results in the hair looking dull, breaking easily. Incorporating a healthy lifestyle will help to prevent this.
