Serafia.: Reclaiming her “crown” with Nutrafol.

To Serafia, her hair has always been an essential part of who she is. “It’s my crown, my mane, my lioness mane,” she laughs.  

From childhood to now, and all the places between, she’s worn her hair in many styles: from a bleached pixie, to a short afro, long braids, and curly tresses. “As women—as people—however you express yourself, you can use your hair as the biggest expression,” she says. 

Her hair is also a visible expression of her multiracial heritage. Serafia is adopted and of mixed race heritage. “I have 3 different continents in my bloodline,” she says. “My hair is an expression of each piece of me, each part of my DNA.”

Serafia is a creative: a professional singer, and a business owner. She was hired to perform at a holiday event. When she saw the video of her performance afterwards, taken from a birds-eye view, she noticed something she’d never seen before. “My scalp was exposed,” she says. “I was shocked. I didn’t know what to do. ” 

For almost a year, Serafia wore wigs to hide her hair thinning. In her line of work, wigs are actually a convenient form of self-expression. Plus, they’re fun. But off-stage, she wanted something to address her hair thinning.

She chose original Nutrafol Women, a daily hair growth supplement physician-formulated for women with standardized vitamins, minerals, and natural ingredients to target key root causes of thinning such as stress, lifestyle triggers, and nutritional gaps for faster-growing, thicker, fuller, stronger hair.^1,2

Serafia keeps her Nutrafol bottle in a cabinet in her kitchen. She takes it every morning after breakfast so she doesn’t forget. 

About 8 months into her journey, Serafia took a step back and realized how much thicker-looking her hair had become.¹ Her baby hairs were growing out.¹ “I felt confident after that,” she says—enough that she no longer wears her hair covered out of necessity. The wigs are a choice now, not a crutch. The difference, she'll tell you, is everything.

"I didn't know my hair could ever look this thick," she says. "I thought that as you age, your hair just gets thinner and thinner. And my hair looks thicker now than it was 10 years ago."

Serafia’s got her crown again. And now it reflects what it was always meant to: confidence, not fear. Her advice to others? “Whatever stage you are in your life and your health,” she says. “I think there's an empowerment to choosing how you want to show up—because we all have a choice.”
