Hello, my name is Sunishma Singh and I am 25 years old.

My mum is a widow and stays home full time.

I have one elder brother who is 28 years old and one small sister who is just 6 years old. 

I have over 9,000 followers on Instagram and 85,000 on Tiktok.

The reason I am telling you this is because I have been always asked questions on my social media accounts such as what do you apply on your hair? How is your hair so shiny? How is your hair so long? 

So one Monday I came home from work and my mum was making this “magic oil” as people who have used it call now.

I snapped a story on my Instagram captioning it – ‘The secret to my long, shiny and healthy hair’.

Little that I know, people would start messaging and asking us to sell the oil. I refused so many messages at first but later at night couldn’t help it.

I asked my mother if she would like to sell batch 1 only and pay the bills with the profit, she agreed. We sold the first batch as cash on delivery where we had 32 customers only.

In the next few days we started to get so many positive feedbacks from customers after one wash only and I put all of them on my social media story appreciating each and every one.

We then started to get so many messages asking when we will be taking orders for Batch 2.

We then registered our business, invested our profit from Batch 1 into company manufactured bottles, professional labels and instructions card.

In less than a month, we made our place on the shelves of the two well-known supermarkets in Fiji which is Extra Supermarket and Kundan Singh Supermarket and currently we are slowly branching out to other shops and supermarkets around.
