Our Commitment
​
​
I am Carline and I founded Marabou International in 2014 in my native city, Carrefour, Haiti. I am a Chemist, Certified Trichologist, and future Physician. Ever since my transition to my natural curls, I have struggled to find products my hair could thrive on without compromising my health. I realized I was not unique and many women in my community also struggled during their natural hair transition. I was inspired to use my knowledge and skills as a scientist coupled with my grandmother's teachings on traditional Haitian oil making I have been able to help the women in my community and myself. By doing so my team has been able to support the Haiti economy by employing women farmers and helping thousands of women regain their confidence. After 8 successful years working with helping Haitian women to take care of their mane, I am confident I can also serve the women in my community here in Detroit. My goal is to partner with women who need guidance navigating their hair care routine and actively support the revitalization needs of Detroit.
Our Holistic Approach
​
A Marabou in Haitian Creole means a beautiful woman who is self-confident. We realize our gift to the world is the creativity we use in our formulation. Mind, Body, and Spirit is the center of our approach while addressing our customer's hair problems. We believe our hair is a projection of our overall health and we invite our customers to foster minor changes in their lifestyles to improve hair growth.
We embrace the gift of natural oils and healing herbs; Mother's nature provides for us. Our products celebrate Organic Haitian Black Castor Oil, a miracle oil famous for its infinite benefits ranging from anti-inflammatory properties to anti-bacterial, hair strengthening, soothing muscle aches, and stress relief. Our Haitian moms used it as an oil pack to heal us when we had a fever and headache.

Haitian Black Castor oil when coupled with Indian Ayuverdic herbs can accelerate Hair growth, delay premature graying, strengthen the hair follicles, and reduce excessive shedding. When you buy a bottle of our Haitian Black Castor oil + Wonder Herbs you are not only on way to a full head of healthy hair but also help strengthen the Detroit and Haiti economies.
