Growing up in a poor family with (4) girls' hair to wash, press and maintain every Saturday was the norm in the average colored family. The smell of Royal Crown & Dixie Peach hair grease, sizzling as the straightening Comb was slowly pulled through our nappy hair until those kanks were stiff and straight as a board. This was the same routine for my sisters and me. Later on, I developed a skin and scalp disorder called Infitigo. My skin and scalp was covered with oozing sores that were contagious. My head was so infected I had bald spots. What little hair I had left was matted and uncombable. Not able to afford a doctor, my Mother helplessly watches my condition worsen. My Mother sent for Big Mama Gerthia to come and see what she could do to help her Grand daughter. Big Mama Gerthia was the community Soothsayer (community doctor/mid-wife) in her hometown Freestone County, Texas. When Big Mama came down, she was horrified to see my head in that condition. Thank God for old home remedies. She began to work with my head everyday. She made this ointment, washed and greased my scalp daily. Soon the sores began to scab over and dry up. My bald spots began to fill in with thicker and healthier hair. By the time the summer was over, I went back to school with not only a healthier scalp, but also my hair was long enough to wear a ponytail. My Grand mother showed me how to make the ointment to use whenever I ran out. She told me, "One day, when it's time, you'll realize that this recipe will become a great and valuable importance to you." BIG MAMA GERTHIA'S HAIR ROOT STIMULATOR can be used on all hair types.
