The Longji village in Guangxi, China, is famous for its breathtaking waterfalls, its scenic Hot Springs, its supernatural water and for the dramatically long and beautiful hair worn by its female community.
As legend has it, thousands of years ago a girl from the local Yao tribe successfully defeated an intruder by whipping them with her long hair.
Since then, the Yao women cut their hair only once in their lives and use a special maintenance routine to maintain their hair's noteworthy shine and luster. The secret is in the rice water.
Since its inception, Yao Secret has built a special relationship with the Longji village and its people. Their tradition inspires our mission, our products, and our desire to spread cultural depth.
With the Yao women as our inspiration, we aim to give back to the village and its people, while preserving the planet.
We are fully committed to respecting our relationship with their people by helping to develop and preserve their unique culture. To solidify this commitment, we ethically source our Longji rice from the tribe.
We also further our commitment to respecting the land by promising to develop sustainable products that are low-waste and comprised of natural ingredients free from toxic chemicals.
