Liquid Gold: A magnificent line of hair and skin care products.

Letters to Shinkafa

“My name is Vincenza, or as I have been known to Ngozi, as “Vinnie”.  I have known Shinkafa’s founder, Ngozi, for 28 years. I was working as a paralegal in a New York law firm when Ngozi was hired as an Associate Attorney.  She and I quickly became friends and we immediately welcomed each other as family.  After a few years, she and I lost touch and hadn’t spoken for nearly 20 years.  I stayed in New York and she moved to California.

When we reconnected in 2015, it was as if we never lost touch.  After reminiscing and catching up, laughing (til tears) and crying sometimes til exhaustion, I explained to her that I began to suffer from serious allergic reactions to various foods and chemicals following a blood transfusion during spine surgery.  I explained that to lessen and prevent hair loss, I started using sulfate free products.  However, the sulfate free shampoo caused me to develop severe dandruff and did not lessen or correct hair loss.  Since my doctor could not find any medical reason for the allergies, he recommended that I not treat the hair loss but rather focus on the scalp with a dandruff shampoo (even though it contained sulfate) because dandruff prevention was more important than hair loss.  Seriously?  A “30 something” not caring about hair loss!  This was unacceptable and he was insane!  Needless to say, I took matters into my own hands and found that my best choice was to strictly use a dandruff conditioner (which contains no sulfate) for cleansing and conditioning.  This worked in preventing dandruff and moisturizing my scalp and hair, but it failed to correct or reverse the clumping fall out.  So, the fall out continued for 10 years until 2015.

When I told Ngozi my story, she hadn’t yet shared with me her skin care line.  However, when she told me about Shinkafa, I was not surprised in the least.  Ngozi, was always finding ways to moisturize her skin without the use of chemicals and would frequently say that she wished there were more natural products available.

When she asked me to try her product, I was definitely skeptical but I figured, “how bad could it be when I was already getting no help. If my doctors couldn’t figure it out, I might as well let an old friend at least try to help.”  Worst case scenario, I was back to square one, but at least I got back my old friend.  It was a win-win for me.

Since using Shinkafa products, I have affectionately coined the phrase, “liquid gold” when speaking of Ngozi’s genius in creating this magnificent line of hair and skin care products.  What makes my story of using Shinkafa products even more amazing for me, than its obvious hair and skin benefits, is that I am not what one may consider a target user of Shinkafa products.  You see, Ngozi (whose name translated means “blessed”) developed Shinkafa to help every woman of every color from every race and ethnicity with varying skin and hair types.  As a middle aged white woman, who wears no make up and suffers from severe food and chemical allergies, I did not believe that Shinkafa was going to help.  However, I am living proof that she has succeeded in this endeavor.

It has now been 2 years and I am happy to report that Shinkafa has become and will remain my little blessing of liquid gold.  Shinkafa continues to “not disappoint” and has provided no intolerable adverse hair and/or skin effects that would cause me any concern.  I am truly grateful that I now only suffer from negligible natural hair shedding, which is to be expected. What a pleasure it is to finally wake from sleep and/or comb my hair and find no clumping fall out.

It is, therefore, my absolute pleasure and honor to submit this testimonial, my firm belief that the Shinkafa is truly a “liquid gold” hair and skin care product line and it is my hope and prayer that all women of every race, color, and ethnicity begin using Shinkafa products so that they too can [may or will] experience what took me 10 years to achieve.  Although my food and chemical allergies will be with me for the rest of my life, there is no longer a need for me (or any woman) to struggle with hair and skin issues caused by inferior products.

In short, Shinkafa products are “liquid gold” creations that were developed by a beautiful and blessed woman who is and always will be my friend (first) and my hair and skin care angel (second).  Either way, it’s an overall win-win for me.  May God Bless you always, my friend.
