Hydrate vs. Moisturize — your skin needs both.

Hydration brings water into the skin.
Moisture helps keep it there.

If you’ve been doing everything right and still feeling dry, tight, or reactive…
this might be what’s missing.

Layer water-based products first.
Seal with oils or balms last.

Simple. Consistent. Effective.

Your skin isn’t broken.
It’s asking for something specific.

Calm. Restore. Glow.

How many ways can you use our hair oil? Let me count the ways.

Pre-Wash — Apply before shampooing to protect strands from moisture loss and mechanical damage during cleansing.

Deep Hair Oiling — Massage generously into scalp and hair. Leave for two hours or overnight, then wash out for restored moisture, shine, and manageability.

Moisturize & Soften — Work a few drops through dry or damp hair to replenish softness between wash days.

Anti-Frizz — Smooth a small amount through mid-lengths and ends to calm frizz and flyaways without stiffness.

Smooth & Style — Use as a finishing touch to define curl and wave patterns and add luminous, lived-in shine.

Heat Protectant — Apply before heat styling to help shield strands from thermal damage.

Scalp Nourishment — Part hair and massage directly into the scalp to support barrier health, comfort dryness, and encourage circulation.

Growth Support — Used consistently at the scalp, the combination of rosemary, pumpkin seed, nettle, and horsetail supports the conditions where healthy growth is most likely to happen.

💜 It’s Autoimmune Awareness Month: We See You.

You already know. You know what it means to have a body that sometimes works against you. You know the flares, the fatigue, the skin that changes without warning, the hair that randomly sheds so much you swear you won’t have any left. You know the appointments, the elimination diets, the ingredient labels studied with intention.

This is your place. 826 & Co. was built by someone living this — not inspired by it, but born in a basement from lived experience and a determination to create solutions. Below you'll find how some of the most common autoimmune and inflammatory conditions show up on your skin, scalp, and hair. Not as a diagnosis. Not as medical advice. Just recognition — because feeling seen is where healing starts.

• Lupus: The "butterfly" flush is well-known, but Lupus can also bring extreme photosensitivity and scalp lesions that require the gentlest touch.

• Hashimoto’s: Beyond the fatigue, you might notice persistent "sandpaper" dryness, thinning outer eyebrows, and hair that feels brittle or slow to grow.

• Alopecia Areata: The shock of sudden, smooth circular patches of hair loss. It’s a journey of unpredictable shedding and regrowth that affects your very identity.

• Psoriasis: More than just "dry skin," it’s an accelerated cell cycle leading to silvery scales and plaques that can itch, burn, or bleed.

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: While it targets joints, RA can manifest as vasculitis (small red spots), thinning skin, or nodules under the surface.

• Sjogren’s Syndrome: The "dryness disease." It steals moisture from your eyes and mouth, but also leaves skin and lips feeling tight, parched, and easily irritated.

• Celiac Disease & Skin: Many don’t realize Celiac is reported to cause Dermatitis Herpetiformis—an intensely itchy, blistering rash that reacts to gluten.

• Eczema: An overactive immune response that breaks down the skin barrier, leading to cycles of intense itching, inflammation, and flare-up fatigue.

We believe that skincare for the autoimmune community should be a source of relief, not another thing to worry about. We’ll be diving deeper into each of these conditions in our upcoming Journal series.

How does your skin and hair tell your autoimmune story? Let’s hold space for each other in the comments. 👇

Last week, I opened up about my recent highlight heartbreak. It wasn’t just the bleach. Hashimoto’s compromises your hair’s integrity before it even sprouts.

For months, when I washed my hair, the comb was full of hair.

​The Restoration Ritual was
​low tension low maintenance styles and:

​Crown Serum applied directly to the scalp to nourish and calm
​Lush Locks for moisture and much-needed elasticity.
​Hair Lover leave-in to protect, smooth and soften.

​The difference in hair loss is night and day, but it took several months or pampering.

We do not avoid essential oils — we formulate with them carefully.

Essential oils are powerful plant compounds.
They can support the skin, uplift the senses, and deepen the ritual of care.

In our facial line, essential oils are less than 1% of the formula, with our favorites being:

🍊 Sweet Orange
Function: Gentle antioxidant support and mild antimicrobial properties.
Aromatherapy: Bright, uplifting, mood-boosting — like sunshine for the nervous system.

🌿 Frankincense
Function: Traditionally used to support mature or inflamed skin and improve tone appearance.
Aromatherapy: Grounding, centering, deeply calming.

🌾 Myrrh
Function: Supports dry, compromised skin and barrier resilience.
Aromatherapy: Warm, resinous, stabilizing — emotionally steadying.

💙 Blue Tansy
Function: Known for soothing properties and visible redness support.
Aromatherapy: Softly herbaceous and calming — like exhaling tension.

Plant-powered beauty for your skin, hair, and soul. 🌿

I let one insecure moment make a permanent decision.

Living with Hashimoto’s means I already navigate unpredictable shedding and a tender scalp.

But I let gray hairs convince me to get highlights — and my hair paid the price.

It didn’t just shed. It snapped.
For six months I stayed in restoration mode: low-tension styles, scalp support, and consistent protection.

I leaned heavily on our Crown Scalp Serum to calm inflammation and support follicle health, and Hair Lover Leave-In to soften and protect.

Today I finally blew it out… and I’m honestly emotional.
Density is returning. Length is recovering. My scalp feels calm again.

Your scalp is not separate from your health. It's skin too, and needs care.
Support the scalp first. Growth follows. 🤍

Winter air and indoor heating are the ultimate "moisture thieves." If your skin is feeling brittle and dry (much like this grass!), it’s time to talk about the final step in your routine.
​Forgiving Face Oil acts as a security seal, locking in your serums and moisturizers so they can actually do their job.

​How to use:
✨ Pat onto damp skin.
✨ Mix into foundation for a dewy finish.
✨ Use as the final layer before SPF.
