The making of Lancemade..

Hi, I’m Lancy.

I’m just a simple girl who started her hair journey back in 2011. If you’ve ever struggled with your hair, I understand. I’ve been there too. Back in the day, I had no idea what worked and what didn’t. So I started writing everything I tried on a small blog, with hope in my heart and my hair drenched in my custom oils - I will wait for it to grow longer every week. (The challenge was to maintain the thickness!)

I joined the long hair community forum and discovered herbs, tricks and everything that actually worked.

Some of you may remember my old blog, Makeup and Beauty Home, where I first shared my one year hair growth journey. That’s where it all started. I still remember the day I measured my thigh-length hair like this - I was so proud and happy not because it was long, but because I grew it. I cracked the formula and the routine!

In 2014, I started the MABH Hair Growth Challenge. (I renamed the brand to 'Lancemade' from 'MABH' after I got the trademark under my name) Girls from all over India joined in. We didn’t have fancy things back then, just each other, and a strong will to grow healthy hair. This post still makes me emotional. We were a little community, cheering each other on.

One of the stories I’ll never forget is about a mother who shared her 5-year-old daughter’s hair care journey with MABH Hair Oil. (now, Lancemade!) It was 11 years ago. That girl’s photos reminded me of how it all begins.

Then there was Anahita. She had health issues and was losing hair. But she didn’t give up. She believed in MABH Oil, and it worked for her. That’s what gave me the confidence to keep going.

All these years, I’ve stayed true to one thing: nature knows best. That’s why I started Lancemade - to formulate something that is rooted in tradition, but feel luxurious to use. No stress, no harsh chemicals. Just natural, simple care, the way our mothers and grandmothers taught us. I've also been working to launch my shampoos, hair masks and serums this year. The formulas turned out brilliant! 

I want you to feel cared for. I want your hair to feel loved.

This isn’t just a business for me. It’s my life’s work, written in sweat, and a lot of joy.

Welcome to Lancemade.
From my heart to your hair.
