The Story behind Melantis...

Melantis was built around myself Carissa (the founder) and my journey of hair loss, damaged hair and years of skin issues such as eczema and rashes throughout childhood to adulthood. From young I had suffered unbearable skin breakouts from eczema and allergies which was a never ending battle to treat. I was introduced to steroid cream during my teenage years by my doctor as a way to combat this issue, but after extensive research I found that excessive use of this cream would cause me more harm than good.

From 2017, I also suffered another problem. Hair loss. This was very unexpected for me and I noticed I was losing hair fast. It all used to start with my scalp itching uncontrollably, that's always when i knew my hair was going to fall out, or another bald spot would form and the problem kept getting worse. I started losing hair as small as a 20p coin and as big as a 50p coin, sometimes larger, all in different parts of my head. My scalp got more tender and wash days were a nightmare with constant hair shedding, not to mention suffering heat damage, dry brittle hair and a flaky, scabbing scalp. In my mind I really thought I  was developing alopecia as I noticed half of my left eyebrow also began falling out which was VERY noticeable so I knew this was not normal and I started to panic. I decided to do some research to find ways to heal myself in a more natural way even if it took longer to heal as I became more conscious about what goes into and onto my body. 

After a few months of research between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 after having already suffered balding and hair loss for 2 years now, I decided to do something about my issue and create a solution. I was very particular on learning and researching because it was clear that whatever methods I had been trying before were not doing much for me. Then finally, I came up with a formula which changed my hair and scalp completely! My hair and eyebrows grew back within a short few months after having hair loss and balding for months and/or years. My hair became longer than ever and Healthier than it had ever been. After noticing my wonderful results which shocked me, it then gave me the thought of wanting to help others who have probably been dealing with the same issue as I did.

So here we are, me sharing my solution with you all, in hopes that you can also achieve the same results, if not better ;).
