A note from the founder

I was tiredof mediocre.

Red Ground Hair began with a simple conviction: personal care can be more thoughtful, more intentional, and worthy of your trust.

Why I began

My name is CJ Henry.

I come from Old Harbour, in the parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica.

First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit and shop with us.

As I have gotten older, I have become more attentive to the personal-care products I use every day. Too many felt harsh on my hair, skin, and mouth. When I read their ingredient lists, I often found words I could barely pronounce and ingredients I did not understand. I wanted to know what was in the products, why each ingredient was there, and whether the formula had been created with real care.

I also began questioning why so many familiar, heavily marketed products seemed to remain unchanged for decades. Familiarity had become the standard, but familiarity did not always mean quality. I felt that too many personal-care products were simply accepted—not because they were excellent, but because they had always been there.

I wanted to challenge that acceptance. My attention to detail has always shaped the way I experience the world, and I decided to use it to make a difference. Red Ground Hair is my commitment to creating personal care with greater intention—products whose purpose, quality, and experience are considered from beginning to end.

The standard

Familiarity is not the same as quality.

“I wanted to use my attention to detail to make a difference.”
