Sis, Your Scalp Is Speaking, And So Is Your Mental Health

Let’s talk about it. Because what’s happening on your scalp isn’t just about flakes, tenderness, or breakage, it’s often your body’s way of saying slow down. For too long, we’ve been taught to mask the symptoms, slick down the edges, and suffer in silence. But what if the condition of your scalp is connected to more than your hair? What if it’s tied to your mood, your confidence, and your peace of mind?

That’s exactly the conversation Jade Vines Natural Hair Care is bringing to the table. Rooted in healing, wellness, and community care, this brand is shifting the narrative because taking care of your crown is about more than beauty. It’s about emotional wellness, clarity, and reclaiming your power

In this exclusive interview, Jasna shares how her struggle sparked the birth of a now-growing natural hair care movement, the nights she spent studying YouTube videos by dim kitchen light, and how her painful experience became the foundation for purpose, healing, and entrepreneurship.

You mentioned your own scalp issues led you to create Jade Vines

Natural Hair Care.. How did your scalp struggles affect your

self-confidence and emotional health initially?

I was one of the 77% struggling with scalp issues. My scalp would bleed, flake, and scale, making it impossible to wear the styles I was used to. Growing up with a hairstylist sister, my hair was always flawless, so this sudden shift crushed my confidence. Styles wouldn’t last more than a couple of days before the condition became visible. I felt like people were staring and judging. The frustration of limited options and constant stress took a serious toll on my mental health.

How do your products specifically address the connection between

scalp health and emotional wellness?

Jade Vines Natural Hair Care harnesses the healing power of herbs and nutrient-rich foods to support both scalp health and emotional wellness. It takes just 27 seconds for a product to be absorbed into the bloodstream, which means the ingredients we use directly impact your overall health, not just your hair.

Every formula includes powerhouse ingredients like avocados, fenugreek, amla, saw palmetto, and bergamot oil, each selected for their benefits to both the body and mind.

Avocados are loaded with healthy fats and antioxidants that support brain function, reduce inflammation, and stabilize mood. They also help soothe scalp irritation and promote skin and heart health.

Fenugreek is a detoxifying herb known to boost brain function, clear mental fog, and reduce stress hormones. It sharpens focus and supports emotional resilience.

Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that improve memory and concentration. Its anti-inflammatory properties calm scalp irritation while contributing to a sense of mental clarity and balance.

Saw palmetto supports healthy hair growth by regulating hormones and blocking DHT, a common cause of hair loss. It also helps with mood stability and cognitive function.

Bergamot oil naturally lifts mood and reduces anxiety. When applied to the scalp, it stimulates blood flow, encourages healthy growth, and helps ease emotional stress.

Can you share a moment or a story from your customers where

improving scalp health noticeably improved their mental or emotional

well-being?

One of our customers shared how Jade Vines completely changed her relationship with her hair. She had been struggling with severe breakage and uneven lengths, feeling like cutting it all off was her only option. Her confidence was low, and past experiences made her hesitant to try natural products.

After watching our videos and reading testimonials, she gave our shampoo and conditioner a try. Her hair quickly became softer, healthier, and easier to manage. When she ran out and used store-bought products again, she immediately noticed the difference. Her hair became rough and tangled, and she knew she could never go back.

That moment wasn’t just about hair—it was about reclaiming her confidence and peace of mind. Stories like hers remind us why we do what we do.

Why do you believe there is such a strong connection between the

condition of one's hair/scalp and their self-esteem or mood?

There’s a powerful connection between the condition of our hair and how we feel about ourselves. For many people, hair is a big part of their identity. When it’s unhealthy or hard to manage, it doesn’t just affect your appearance—it can impact your mood, confidence, and overall well-being.

Scalp issues like flaking, irritation, or hair loss often lead to emotional stress. The more stress you feel, the more your scalp suffers, creating a frustrating cycle. Our hair is something others notice, and when it doesn’t look the way we want, it can make us feel self-conscious or less confident.

Research in Global Mental Health shows that when our appearance doesn’t align with how we want to feel, it can lead to anxiety, stress, and even depression. That’s why I created Jade Vines Natural Hair Care with a holistic approach—to nourish not just the scalp, but also the spirit. Because when your hair feels good, you feel good too.

Can you describe your own holistic self-care routine and how

maintaining your scalp health has positively influenced your mental

health?

My holistic self-care routine is something I take seriously. I start my mornings with fresh green juices and take essential vitamins like Vitamin D to support my energy, immunity, and mental clarity. I work out three times a week, stay hydrated, and eat nourishing foods to keep my body and mind in balance.

When I’m off track with my wellness, I notice it in my scalp and hair. That’s why I use Jade Vines Natural Hair Care consistently—my go-to products include the Rosemary Shampoo, Moisturizing Conditioner, Avocado Elixir Oil, and Herbal Tea Rinse. The tea rinse keeps my curls fresh and my scalp calm, while the leave-in helps lock in moisture.

But this routine is about more than just how I look. It’s a way to slow down, reconnect, and care for my whole self. True self-care is about nourishing the mind, body, and spirit—and for me, that includes prayer, movement, clean nutrition, and hair care that heals from the inside out.

Looking ahead, how do you plan to continue raising awareness about

the link between scalp care, emotional wellness, and overall

confidence through Jade Vines Natural Hair Care?

At Jade Vines Natural Hair Care, we’re more than just a product line—we’re a movement. Our high-performance formulas not only support scalp health and hair growth but also promote emotional wellness and confidence.

We’re committed to raising awareness about the connection between scalp care and mental well-being. Through speaking engagements, partnerships with wellness advocates, and hands-on workshops, we’re creating space for education, healing, and self-care.
