Meet Dr. Akongua Hemaa
Founder of Sankofa Braiding & Natural HairCare
đź“Ť Oakland Beauty & Wellness Suites, Oakland, CA
Dr. Cynthia Obleton, also known as Akongua Hemaa or NanaEfua, is a highly respected Board-Certified Trichologist, California Licensed Cosmetologist, AMCA Certified Hair Loss Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, and Psychic & Traditional Healer with over 25 years of experience in the beauty and wellness industry.
She is the visionary designer of TrichoAfric, a holistic hair and scalp healing system that integrates modern trichology with ancestral African practices. Dr. Akongua Hemaa is a member of the United States Trichology Institute, American Hair Loss Council, and the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, reflecting her commitment to both science-based care and holistic health.
Her journey began in Ghana, West Africa, where she started her beauty career at a young age, supporting family businesses and eventually opening her first salon in Tema, Greater Accra. Deeply influenced by her grandmother—who lived to 105 and passed down sacred herbal remedies—she continues to incorporate these traditional plant-based treatments into her work today.
Dr. Akongua Hemaa specializes in hair loss, scalp disorders, and natural hair care, with a focus on restoring and maintaining healthy hair through a unique blend of clinical scalp analysis, herbal therapies, and holistic wellness practices. Her approach goes beyond styling—addressing the root causes of hair concerns while supporting the healing of the mind, body, and spirit.
At Sankofa Braiding & Natural HairCare, her mission is clear: to help clients reclaim their crown through education, restoration, and intentional care.
“It’s not just about the style—it’s about the health of your hair, your scalp, your mind, and your spirit.”
