About Maverick
Handmade roots, botanical tradition
Hi, I’m Nidja, the founder of Maverick Handmade Goods LLC! I created Maverick from a genuine love of herbs, oils, traditional beauty practices, and the idea that taking care of your hair should feel just as good as seeing the results of that care.
I’ve always been fascinated by the incredible ingredients nature gives us and the ways herbs and oils have been used in hair and beauty rituals for generations. That curiosity eventually grew into something much bigger: a desire to create products of my own and share them with other people.
That passion led to Goddess Mane Hair Food Oil, Maverick’s flagship product. I put real thought, research, time, and care into the ingredients I choose and the products I create. I love learning about different herbs, experimenting with botanical ingredients, and finding ways to bring traditional hair-care practices into modern routines.
Building Maverick has been an exciting journey, and I’m incredibly proud to watch something I started grow into a brand that can reach people beyond my own community. My goal is to create products that customers are genuinely excited to use, while building a company known for quality, transparency, creativity, and care.
And we’re just getting started! Goddess Mane is the beginning of what I hope will become a growing collection of thoughtfully handcrafted hair and body care products.
Thank you for supporting Maverick Handmade Goods and being part of this journey. Every purchase, recommendation, share, review, and kind word helps a small business like mine continue to grow—and I’m so happy you’re here!

How much does Goddess Mane cost?
Goddess Mane Hair Food Oil is currently $25.99 per 4 fl oz bottle, before applicable taxes and shipping.
What makes Goddess Mane different from an ordinary hair oil?
Time, intention, ingredients, and craftsmanship. Goddess Mane isn't simply a mixture of oils poured into a bottle. Our botanical blend undergoes a three-month infusion period before the finished oil is bottled. This slow process is at the heart of Goddess Mane and reflects the care we put into every batch.

Yes. Goddess Mane is handcrafted in batches by Maverick Handmade Goods.
Is Goddess Mane made in small batches?
Yes. Goddess Mane is handcrafted in batches rather than mass-produced.

Our Three-Month Process (7 questions)
How is Goddess Mane made?
Goddess Mane is created through a slow, intentional process. Our botanical ingredients and oils are prepared and allowed to infuse for three full months before the finished oil is bottled. We don't rush this part of the process.
How long does Goddess Mane infuse before bottling?
Three full months. Each batch is given a three-month infusion period before it is bottled.
Why does Goddess Mane take three months to make?
Goddess Mane is built around a slow botanical infusion rather than a quick mix-and-bottle process. Once a batch is prepared, we allow the herbs and oils to infuse for three months before bottling. Patience is part of our process.
Is the oil bottled immediately after the ingredients are combined?
No. Goddess Mane undergoes a three-month infusion period before bottling.
Why is the three-month infusion important to Maverick?
It represents the intentional approach behind our brand. We aren't interested in rushing a product simply to get it onto a shelf. Every batch of Goddess Mane requires months of preparation before it reaches our customers.
Why might Goddess Mane occasionally sell out?
Goddess Mane isn't something we can reproduce overnight. Because each new batch requires a three-month infusion period before bottling, inventory has to be planned months in advance. If demand exceeds the inventory we prepared, customers may have to wait for another batch to become available.
When should I order if I don't want to miss a batch?
Because inventory may be limited, we recommend ordering while Goddess Mane is in stock and following Maverick Handmade Goods for restock announcements.
