regener8 Launches in Raleigh
Back to Your Roots: New luxe elixir looks to restore your confidence one follicle at a time.
Shedding strands can be a real confidence killer. And with doomscrolling spewing seemingly endless suggestions, quick fixes and remedies ad nauseam all vying for your attention, the struggle is real.
It’s a struggle with which Chastity Sullivan is deeply familiar. After a bout with COVID, the Raleighite was met with her perimenopause era and those luscious locks started clocking out—giving her pillow “stranded” fur coat vibes and rendering her shower drain a never-ending hair trap.
As would anyone experiencing the slow-fade, Sullivan checked all the boxes for a reboot—from hormone doctors and supplements to serums and red light therapy in an effort to rejuvenate her hair growth. She was specifically on the hunt for a fix that would detox her scalp, spark regrowth and strengthen her hair follicles, but every oil and blend she tried came up short.
But as they say, adversity breeds invention. Enter her handbatched hair oil. “I started to do a little research and realized there were essential oils and different types of natural ways I can go about trying to fix the problem, as opposed to just covering it up,” says Sullivan.
So, in typical DIY fashion, she combined her know-how with her husband’s entrepreneurial spirit, and, a few individual test runs and trials by friends and family later, regener8 was born. “I noticed a huge difference, just in the way my hair felt—the shedding in the hair—and then within a few months I started to notice the little hairs growing in the front where I was losing my hair,” reflects Sullivan.
Now, with a focus on keeping things local (though a shamp or conditioner down the line isn’t out of the question), she’s sharing the blend in hopes of helping others find a permanent solution to hair loss. The oil is a combination of high-quality natural and plant-based ingredients—think argan, turmeric, avocado, lavender, castor and tea tree—applied directly to the scalp.
While women are at the forefront of regener8’s mission, its benefits leave no head unturned. “I am here,” she shares. “I want to go on this journey with people because I’ve been there.” And looks like now, she’s rewriting the narrative—one drop at a time.
