Local entrepreneur Michelle Sewell has been persuading ladies from Henpicked, the Nottingham-based online community for women over 40, to step away from their straighteners and embrace their natural, curly locks.

Michelle, 44, of the Arboretum, asked a team of Henpicked testers to try out her ‘miracle’ Maya Confident Curling and Styling Crème, designed to promote beautiful, bouncing curls without frizz. And she wanted honest answers about the results.

“I’m confident in my product and I know it works, but I also wanted some testimonials from ladies with all hair types to show that it can transform any hair,” said Michelle, a part-time business studies teacher at The Nottingham Academy.

The team of testers agreed to take a break from their endless straightening and smoothing routines, instead using Maya to give them a variety of looks, ranging from textured and tousled to gorgeous, healthy-looking curls.

“My hair is naturally curly but just looks a mess if I wear it that way,” says Henpicked editor Kay Garrett, 40. “But I tried using the Maya, both on its own and with rollers, and the results were fantastic. It’s quick and easy to use, and it also smells gorgeous!”

Henpicked contributor Jacqui Sankey agrees. ““I’m thrilled with discovering Maya. It’s lovely to find a natural product which leaves my hair feeling silky smooth and easy to manage.”

Meanwhile, Jacqueline Seddon, also a contributor to Henpicked, believes it’s transformed her grey hair.

“Wow, what a difference Maya has made to my hair,” she says. “As you get older, your hair texture changes and becomes more coarse, especially if you go grey. I have a full head of long, thick grey hair, which had also become very flyaway. Maya makes it feel smooth, look shiny and NOT greasy. An amazing product.”

Michelle is delighted with the feedback, and is using it to shape her website and promotional activity.

“Maya contains 12 natural oils and is incredibly good for any type of hair,” she said.

“Initially I designed it for mixed ethnicity hair, but as the Henpicked testers have demonstrated, it works on all hair types.”

Henpicked founder Deborah Garlick, 51, is happy that Henpicked could help Michelle by trialling and testing the product.

“It’s a fabulous product, and it really works,” she said.

“We wouldn’t hold back with our opinions and we gave Maya a big thumbs up.”
