The birth of AAIG: Starting from a piece of "ugly soap".

Everything started with a sentence "Just give it a try".

The first customer of VAAIG was a friend of mine, who is also a mother.
She experienced severe postpartum hair loss after giving birth. She thought it was just a short-term hormone change. As a result, two years later, the hair loss continued, and her hair became dry, brittle, itchy and greasy.
As a business manager, her smooth and bright blonde hair was once her trademark, which made her confident. However, now, the sparse and dull hair and the constantly falling hair roots make her less and less confident, and even affect her performance.
She tried various expensive shampoo and care products, but with little effect, and some even aggravated the hair loss problem. In desperation, she complained to me countless times. Finally, I decided to send her a piece of Chinese medicine shampoo soap handmade by her mother - a piece of "ugly soap".
When she received this randomly shaped soap bar with a strong smell of Chinese medicine, she looked disgusted: "What is this ugly thing? It smells like a medicinal bath in Chinatown! Baby, are you sure it works?" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patiently explained: "This is a pure Chinese medicine formula with no chemical additives. It contains herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum, ginger, and Platycladus orientalis leaves. This is the wisdom passed down by our Chinese ancestors. In ancient times, there was no shampoo, so people relied on these herbs to maintain their hair. You see, the hair of ancient people, both men and women, could grow as long as their waists and hips, because their scalps were healthy and their hair roots were strong. Although it doesn't smell as sweet as modern shampoos, it can really nourish the scalp, reduce hair loss, and restore the scalp to health." She tried it half-heartedly. Two months later, she excitedly sent me a message: "Baby, it's unbelievable! I love this 'ugly soap' so much!" Her hair became noticeably smoother and fluffier, no longer dry and frizzy, and her scalp was no longer greasy and itchy, and her hair loss was reduced a lot. What surprised her most was that she used to wash her hair every day, but now she can go four days without washing her hair and her scalp is still fresh!
"I used to get up every day with greasy hair stuck to my scalp, it was itchy! But now, I even forget to wash my hair!"

Six months later, she sent me another photo:

Her blonde hair has regained its luster and elasticity, and she can feel the new short fine hair when combing it. Her hair loss problem has improved significantly. The sandalwood comb I gave her has become more shiny and moisturized due to the long-term absorption of hair oil.
She exclaimed: "This 'ugly soap' and sandalwood comb are really great! They are natural, healthy, and really effective!"
"You should make it into a product to help more people like me who suffer from scalp problems!"
In fact, I always thought it was just an ordinary handmade soap, not beautiful in appearance, and not as fragrant as shampoo. Would anyone really buy it?
However, she firmly told me:
"It is natural, safe and effective. Everyone will be willing to try it and fall in love with it like me!"
Just like she was willing to "give it a try" at first, this shampoo soap accidentally saved her hair, and VAAIG was born.
