Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Nadiya (pronounced “Na-dee-yah”). I am the founder of You Better! Hair & Body Care, a proud mother, a Philadelphia native, and a former home-based stylist obsessed with protective styles and skin-care
Like many women, I lead a hectic lifestyle. As a full-time banking money manager by day and entrepreneur by night, wearing a protective style allows me to express my authentic personality! It’s also the perfect solution for a healthy hair journey. I have delicate, fine, natural hair strands, and less manipulation tucking my hair under a wig, into box braids, or braided down for a sew-in weave affords me the confidence and convenience to get up and go!
Xo, Nadiya
Our Story
For 6 + years, I’ve had the pleasure of styling countless clients from the comfort of my home. My clients trusted me to educate them, create beautiful hairstyles, and LISTEN!
Our journey creating hair care products started in 2018, when a client looking to alleviate commonly caused scalp irritation from synthetic hair fibers curiously asked, “Can I wash this hair? ” To which I responded, “Girl, You Better”!
So with this mission, from my Philadelphia apartment, with plenty of trials and errors, our unique original product was born, Bundle Bath Bomb™
We believe that healthy hair growth starts with scalp care and skincare is self-love
As a woman who loves pampering herself, I am very particular about what goes on my skin. I entered into the body care space, creating indulgent, nutrient-rich body butter that not only nourishes but also leaves you smelling irresistible.
Welcome to You Better! Hair & Body Care. where we empower self-expression and joy by delivering honest, high-quality hair and body care products that enhance your daily self-care routine.
Dedication
You Better Hair Care! honors women worldwide who are fighting against breast cancer and suffering hair loss due to chemotherapy.
Dedicated to my #1 client, favorite cousin, and bonafide bossy best friend, Shavon Murrell, a.k.a. “Voni,” who lost her battle with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer in January 2022. We’ve personally crowned her the protective style princess! Shavon confidently wore wigs or what she’d call her “old faithful” or “baldy” with pride.
We recognize the importance of wigs and headcovers within this community. That’s why we actively support breast cancer organizations for women who are battling or have lost their battle with breast cancer. We also honor Shavon’s young children, Chayse (Bud) and Carsyn (Buttercup).
