How Did Dot & Lola Begin?
We’ve noticed that all our sellers have a great story behind their brand, and Dot & Lola are no exception.
The UK company is based in Leicestershire and was formed by Gavin Taylor, a hair professional with over 20 years experience in the industry. Gavin watched on as big brands dominated the hair world, leaving little or no room for smaller businesses or for hair care innovation. Big brands dictate standard formulas and ingredients for products, and not always to the benefit of the clients! He became frustrated that more natural alternatives rarely made the salon shelf.
Being prone to allergies, he struggled to find a company that had products committed to using as many natural ingredients as possible.
Like many of us (raiding the larder for apple cider vinegar, lemon, honey anyone?), Gavin began experimenting at home with natural ingredients to see if he could land on a formula that would work for his skin and hair.
He found it! And by then, had researched so many ingredients and their benefits, he was passionate about natural hair care options. Suddenly, making his own products seemed less like a crazy idea, and more like the only way forward! And Dot & Lola was born.
A few great things about Dot & Lola
Hair Care with a belief in harmony with nature.
Dot & Lola is passionate about using plant based ingredients because they work in harmony with the body. Instead of quickly masking the problem like many chemical hair care formulas do, the ingredients in their products aim to balance out the hair and skin, to give long lasting naturally glossy, naturally healthy results. It’s about dealing and healing with hair, scalp and skin problems. And it’s about long term prevention, rather than masking over.
Care for the user
As haircare professionals, Dot & Lola care about the experience their customers have using their products. Their products are developed with good skin and hair health as a priority. This is why they are super fussy and strict about the origin and quality of the organic ingredients they use in their natural body care and hair care ranges. They recognise that not everyone's skin can handle chemicals and heat treatments, so their products are designed to be gentle and natural.
Great ingredients
Dot & Lola know their stuff! And they know all about the stuff that goes into their natural shampoos and conditioners too. With extensive experience of hair care, and a passionately geeky knowledge of natural ingredients that work, the products are packed full of high quality ingredients that will target problem hair, or scalp or skin.
