5 Ingredients Our Curl Experts Recommend For Your Hair Products

Have you ever felt like finding the perfect hair products was like embarking on a quest for buried treasure? The frustration of searching far and wide, only to end up with products that don't quite deliver the desired results, is an experience many of us can relate to. We understand the struggle, and we're here to unveil the secret to unlocking the full potential of your glorious crown! Enter Rudy and Michal, our seasoned curl experts who have dedicated their careers to understanding the intricate needs of curly hair. They've scoured the world of hair care and emerged with a treasure chest of knowledge about the ingredients that truly make a difference in your routine. So, let's uncover the 5 essential ingredients they recommend that will transform your curly crown!    1. Water: The Ultimate Hydration Hero Water is the unsung hero of hair care. It's the fundamental ingredient that lays the foundation for healthy, hydrated curls. Without adequate moisture, your hair simply can't thrive. Water allows other ingredients to penetrate and nourish your strands. So, when you're searching for hydrating products, make sure water is listed as one of the top ingredients to ensure your curls get the hydration they crave.   2. Humectants: Your Moisture Magnets Humectants are like magical moisture magnets for your curls. These include glycerin and cetearyl alcohol, both of which excel at attracting and locking in moisture. Picture your curls sipping on a tall glass of water all day long, staying juicy, bouncy, and frizz-free. That's the power of humectants! They work tirelessly to ensure your curls remain hydrated, even in challenging weather conditions.  Note that not all alcohols in hair care products are harmful. In fact, some alcohols, like cetearyl and cetyl alcohol, can be quite hydrating and beneficial for your hair. So, don't be alarmed by the term "alcohol" – it's not always a bad thing for your locks!    3. Plant-Based Goodness: Nature's Gift to Your Curls Mother Nature has given us a lot of wonderful plant-based ingredients that work wonders for your curls. Rudy and Michal highly recommend incorporating these natural treasures into your hair care routine: Green Tea Extract: This natural wonder is packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. It is an excellent hydrator and helps to protect your strands against sun damage. Additionally, it promotes hair growth by boosting blood circulation, helping you reach your desired length faster.  Rose Water: Known for its growth-boosting properties, it's like a secret elixir for your curls. Rose of Jericho: This remarkable plant works its magic by maintaining even water distribution throughout your hair, resulting in consistently well-hydrated curls. It also balances your hair's porosity levels and ensures that your hair products are absorbed effectively.    4. Oils: Your allies for an accomplished hair care routine Oils are your best  allies in your hair care routine. They can serve multiple purposes, depending on the type you choose! Here are the two oils our Curl Experts highly recommend: Grape seed oil: Packed with vitamin E and essential fatty acids, this oil helps to deeply nourish your crown and promote overall hair health.  Abyssinian Oil: This oil is packed with a variety of vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin B2, and vitamin C. It's both fast-absorbing and lightweight, ensuring your curls won't ever feel greasy. Furthermore, it's a fantastic choice to enhance shine and provide protection against heat damage.    5. Protein: The Building Blocks of Strong Curls Protein is essential for maintaining the structure and strength of your curls. Rudy and Michal recommend looking for products that contain either Baobab Protein or Hydrolyzed Soy Protein. These proteins give your curls the fortitude they need to shine, bounce, and hold their shape, even in the face of humidity and environmental stressors. They deeply repair and strengthen the hair shaft which helps prevent breakage and improves elasticity.  Using our Curl Experts’ knowledge and experience, we’ve crafted CurlCare with ingredients that will truly nurture your curls and coils. CurlCare is meticulously formulated with premium, high-quality ingredients that are entirely chemical-free. Say goodbye to the endless search for the perfect hair products and say hello to the transformation your curls have been waiting for. With CurlCare, you can confidently shop for products that will unlock the magic within your curls, helping your crown blossom into its full, radiant glory. 💜

Autumn and Your Curls

With  the fall and winter season come fresh new boots but also scarfs, hats, headbands, collars of jackets and coats that are constantly rubbing and tearing on our fragile curls. As you know the outer layer of your hair is made up of cuticles that are positioned like scales acting as your hairs protective shield. Constant tearing, pulling and rubbing as well as chemical damage such as coloring or heat can raise the cuticles and lead eventually to severe damage. These added challenges during fall and winter combined with intense temperature changes, from windy cold air to dry heated interiors definitely affect the health and hydration level of our curls. So what to do in fall and how to prep for winter? THESE 3 MUST-DO’S WILL KEEP YOUR HAIR HEALTHY AND HYDRATED: 1. Start regular Deep-conditioning and introducing treatments to your hair: If you haven’t been a fan yet, you will become one:  Regular Deep -conditioning treatments are key to obtaining healthy and bouncy curls. These power houses are packed with extra hydrating ingredients, intense nourishment and strengthening proteins. We absolutely  LOVE ;) Unconditional LOVE. This deep-conditioning hydration treatment delivers moisture in the core of your hair strand. Extracts of the “Rose of Jericho” are responsible for extremely long lasting moisture retention within the hair shaft and baobab protein deeply nourishes and repairs. Ginseng and Green tea strengthen the actual root of the hair and encourage new growth. For All Curl Types For Medium to High Porosity Curl Types For Low Porosity Hair Types Curl Tip: To re-create a salon Deep Treatment: Section your hair and apply deep treatment on soaking wet hair. Finger detangle the entire section. Twist this section and advance to the next. Once the entire head is covered and has been finger detangled and twisted, place your hair underneath a plastic cap and add some heat from a blow dryer and/or cover head under towel and let the treatment do its magic. Depending on your hair type and how much product you hair can support you can leave the conditioner inside or rinse it out a bit. For most curl types (except very fine and low density hair) it is safe to say that if you hair has absorbed the conditioner (when your hair is no longer white) you can just keep the conditioner inside and follow with the next step: Butter and/or Sealant. 2. Put that leave-in Conditioner to use! Even if you are not big on leave-ins otherwise, the fall season should be your motivator to start looking for a true CULRFRIEND! Once you found a great match for your hair you will never want to live without one! That leave-in conditioner is your go-to product during the week to rehydrate, refresh and revive your curls. Put that moisture back in your hair with a bit of leave-in before you go to bed for bouncy curls in the morning or revive and refresh them with some much needed hydration during your morning routine. Try these products and thank us later;) For All Curl Types For Medium to High Porosity Curl Types For Low Porosity Hair Types 3. Lock in that Moisture...always! This might maybe be the MOST important tip! So now you made sure that your hydration game is on point but in order to keep that moisture where it belongs (within your hair ☺), you need to make sure to lock it in! How do you that? You use an oil based sealant. All natural oils act as sealants, creating a shield around your hair cuticles.  Just imagine that hair oils and pomades are your winter coat for your hair. Just as you wouldn’t go outside without a jacket, you want to make sure that you hair is protected too! During fall and winter make sure to finish every curl routine with sealing in that moisture!!!!

Curly Hair 101: How To Remove Buildup

Every curly girl has experienced this before…you complete your wash day using the same products & routine that have worked for you the past couple of months. You style your hair and dry it, expecting luscious bouncy curls and coils but instead, your hair comes out dry and frizzy! What happened? Why did your results differ so much from previous wash days when you’ve been using the SAME products this whole time?! Well, my curlfriend, the answer is simple…it's because of BUILDUP.  The Different Types of Buildup  Curly & coily hair is prone to various types of build up that can affect the overall health and appearance of your hair. Here are some of the most common types of build up that can occur:  Product build up This can happen when heavy styling products like gels, mousses and creams are not properly washed out of the hair. Over time, these products can create a residue that weighs down your curls, making them appear dull & lifeless.  Mineral Build-up This kind of build up can be caused by hard water. Mineral deposits often interfere with the effectiveness of other hair care products, leaving your hair dry and brittle.  Sebum Build-up Sebum is the natural oil produced by the scalp. It is a natural hair moisturizer that protects your curls. While it is typically beneficial for your crown, an excessive amount of sebum can lead to build up & residue.  Chlorine Build up If you swim in pools on a regular basis, you may be prone to chlorine build up. The chemicals in the water can accumulate on your strands, making your hair feel brittle, dry and prone to breakage.   Silicone Build up Many hair products contain silicone, a substance that temporarily gives the illusion of smoothness and shine to your hair. A prolonged use of silicones can oftentimes lead to build up.  Dust & Dirt Build Up Every day our hair is exposed to environmental pollutants, dust and dirt. If not thoroughly cleansed, these small particles can accumulate on your strands.  But, how do you know if you have Buildup?  Here are the 4 tell tale signs that you have a bad case of buildup on your hands.. Nothing Works One of the main signs of build up is that most products seem to stop working on your hair. This happens because the buildup creates a barrier between your hair and the products you’re using, which stops them from actually penetrating your hair strands Dry, Brittle Hair Your hair is unable to properly absorb any products and is dry and rough to the touch.  Scalp Problems Your scalp feels dry, itchy and flaky.  Limp, lifeless hair Your hair appears limp and weak and your curls aren’t as springy as they used to be.    How do you fix Buildup?  The key to removing build up  and avoiding it in the future is to use a really Good Clarifying Shampoo once a month.  Clarifying your hair… Removes hard water minerals and chlorine  Removes any silicones, butters, oils and other residue from your products Cleanses your scalp and removes all the dead skin cells Will bring your limp hair back to life!    However…Not all Clarifying Shampoos are made equal. Most contain harsh ingredients that completely strip your crown of its natural oils and dry out your curls! Our Curl Renaissance Shampoo does all the heavy lifting of a regular Clarifying shampoo but without any of the harsh chemicals. So, If you want to experience the ultimate Curl Renaissance, try our chelating shampoo today!  For dry curly hair, finding the right balance between using a cleansing shampoo and moisturizing one is crucial. Developing an effective wash day regimen brings you one step closer to achieving the healthy, luscious locks of your dreams! 💦🥳

Hydrolyzed Quinoa: The magic of hydrolyzed Quinoa lies in its ability to break down into tiny molecules that can penetrate deep into your hair's cuticles, working wonders from within. This wonderful ingredient repairs and strengthens your hair, leaving it not only resilient but also incredibly soft and shiny.  Hydrolyzed Adansonia Digitata Seed Extract: Hydrolyzed Adansonia Digitata Seed Extract, derived from the majestic Baobab tree, often called the "tree of life," is a remarkable hair care treasure.

Mastering Low Porosity Hair: 4 Expert Tips for Healthy, Lucious Locks!

The Ultimate Guide for Low Porosity Hair  Taking care of naturally curly hair is not an easy task. With all of the information circulating around the internet, hair care can become confusing or even frustrating. However, if you’re suffering from chronically dehydrated curls, finding out about your porosity and how to properly manage it will be a game changer for you! In this article, we’ll teach you everything you need to know about low porosity hair and how to effectively manage it.    So, what is low porosity? Hair porosity refers to the degree your strands absorb and retain moisture. Each of your hair stands possesses an external layer of cuticles that resemble the scales of fish. These cuticles act as passageways where moisture can enter. When your cuticles are raised, water can easily get in and get out. On the other hand, when your cuticles are tightly  closed, water has an extremely hard time entering your hair shaft. With low porosity hair, your cuticles are tightly packed together and are difficult to open making it harder for moisture to get in, hence the reason for chronically dry hair.   What are the causes for low porosity hair? The reasons for low porosity hair are mainly genetic. However, your porosity levels can change over time depending on external factors such as excessive use of heat tools, too much manipulation, pollution, sun exposure and chemical treatments such as coloring services. Either way, no matter your porosity level, high, medium or low it is important to be aware and adapt your curl regimen accordingly.    …but how do you know if you have Low porosity hair? Delayed wetness - you have been noticing that your hair takes a really long time to get wet, even though you are not using silicone or mineral oil based products.   Prolonged dry time- it takes your hair very long to dry. This is typical for low porosity hair because it retains moisture much better which makes drying times longer.   Products tend to “sit” on top of your hair - most products have a hard time penetrating your hair and visibly create white residue or build-up. It may seem that products simply coat your strands, instead of being absorbed. As a result, your hair feels chronically dehydrated and rigid to the touch.   Float hair strand test - you have done the float test on clean hair and your hair strand floats on top of the water, even after more than 5 min.   If these characteristics sound familiar to you, there is no need to panic. Your hair is not forever doomed to be dry and brittle. In fact, there is nothing wrong with low porosity hair, you simply need to know how to best manage it and which products to use.   Let’s recap: The biggest challenge for low porosity hair to absorb hydration, making it prone to chronic dehydration. The biggest benefit of low porosity hair however is, that once the hydration is in, it stays in!  This means that you need to hydrate much less during wash days, saving tons of product and money 😉.    Our Low porosity Hacks for thriving, hydrated curls   Low Porosity Hack #1: A Deep Cleanse! Using a good clarifying shampoo will help you get rid of all product residue and mineral build up which will assure proper moisture absorption. We recommend using our detox & chelating shampoo once a month. Read more here.    Low porosity Hack #2: Keep it light! Opt for conditioners and moisturizers especially created for low porosity hair. These are lighter in texture and provide sufficient slip to deeply penetrate and reach within the hair shaft, hydrating the cortex.  Regular products with thick molecules are not able to penetrate the small spaces in between the tightly arranged cuticle layers.  Try our new Moisture Rescue Conditioner for low porosity and fine hair which is made with a lightweight formula that is designed to penetrate even the smallest of cuticles and hydrate your curls at their very core. The Resurrection Plant aka Rose of Jericho and Ginseng are meant to deeply hydrate and revitalize every strand and give your hair the moisture that it needs. With this product in your arsenal, you can truly say goodbye to dryness!   Low porosity Hack #3:  Heat it up baby! One very effective way to increase the conditioning properties and reassure the best absorption is the use of heat. Heat raises the cuticles of your hair which helps products penetrate your hair shaft.    Low porosity Hack #4: Ah Push it push it!  Use your fingers to push the conditioner within the hair shaft. Take your time when applying the conditioner section by section, making sure to smooth down the cuticles with your finger tips, pushing all the good hydration into the core of the hair shaft. How do you know if you are doing it right? Your best indicator is that the product gets absorbed by the hair and does not sit on top, creating residue.  You can always add  more water to your conditioner and repeat the smoothing motion. Once all of your “Moisture Rescue Conditioner” has been absorbed, simply continue using your regular styling products. No need to rinse out the conditioner. Keeping it in will ensure long lasting hydration throughout the week.    So once you understand your low porosity hair and adapt your product and curl regimen, you can say goodbye to dry, dull hair, and hello to gorgeous, hydrated curls and coils! Try out the Moisture Rescue Conditioner now and watch your hair flourish!  

Mastering Your Curls: The Benefits of Diffusing Over Air Drying

Every Curl Babe knows that when it comes to hair care, crafting the ideal routine for your crown requires patience and plenty of trial and error! Whilst many of us have already mastered our wash day and styling techniques, there is often one crucial step that is overlooked: the drying process. In fact, how you choose to dry your hair can drastically affect not only how your curls look but also their health!  The air drying vs diffusing debate Picture this: You’ve just finished your wash day, and your curls are looking JUICY. Now comes the million dollar question, should you let them air dry or bring out the diffuser? Well, grab a comfy seat because today, we’ll be diving into the age old Air Drying vs Diffusing Debate and making a case for why diffusing might be your curly hair’s new bff!  Why we don’t recommend air drying  Although Air drying seems to be the easy, damage free route, things are not so simple! Don’t get me wrong, Air Drying does indeed have its benefits! With this method, your curls are at no risk of heat damage and it is way less time consuming than diffusing. You can simply style your hair and let your curls do their thing without needing to manipulate them any further. However, the cons of air drying far outweighs the pros…  Hygral fatigue Air Drying on a consistent basis can cause internal damage to your hair. Each of your hair strands consist of three main regions, the cuticle, the cortex and the medulla. Between the cuticle and the cortex, there is a thin layer called the cell membrane complex.  A study showed that when this membrane swells up due to the hair being wet, it weakens the hair shafts over time. So, the longer your hair remains wet, the higher the chances of that layer being weakened. Scalp issues Did you know that your scalp has a thriving metropolis of bacteria? It's like its own little ecosystem up there! And, these critters THRIVE in damp and dark environments. So, consistently air drying your hair can lead to bacteria growth, fungus and dandruff which can really affect your scalp health.  Can lead to more frizz Air drying your hair may result in less definition and more frizz. Your curls will be at their best immediately after styling and diffusing them helps keep your pattern intact. On the other hand, with air drying, there are more opportunities for your curl pattern to be disturbed. Also, the weight of the water can also elongate your curls, deforming them.   Longer drying time  And last but not least, air drying means that you’re going to spend at least a couple of hours having to endure the uncomfortable feeling of wet hair. For curly girls with extra thick or long hair, it could take an entire day to air dry completely!  Why Diffusing Outshines Air Drying 👏🏾 EVERY. TIME  When it comes to achieving stunning, frizz free curls, the choice is clear: diffusing is the way to go. Say goodbye to unpredictable hair days and hello to gorgeous, voluminous curls that last! This method involves using a dryer attachment to “disperse” the air flow over a wider area of your crown so you can dry your hair faster without disturbing your curls too much. The benefits of this technique include… Faster drying time The most obvious reason why diffusing is beneficial is because it dries your curls faster than air drying does. So, if you want to be able to style your hair and leave your house without your curls being wet…diffuse, diffuse, diffuse!  Seals in products The heat of the diffuser really seals in all of the great ingredients from your products, allowing for your curls to fully absorb them.  Better for your scalp Using heat to dry your hair faster is much better for your scalp health in the long run. As mentioned above, leaving your hair wet or damp for an extended period can cause the bacteria on your scalp to grow and multiply faster! So, by diffusing, you are limiting the amount of time your curls stay wet which helps prevent unwanted visitors!  More definition If you’re all about those defined, bouncy curls, diffusing is your secret weapon.  A diffuser helps your hair maintain its definition for up to twice as long and helps keep your curl pattern intact, so you can rock those spirals like nobody’s business. To get really defined, juicy curls during wash day try our CurlCare styling products! More volume Last but not least, Diffusing helps create more voluminous curls and coils so you can rock a beautiful fro all day long! The shape of the diffuser helps to cup your hair upwards which will naturally help you achieve more volume. With this tool, it is also easier to reach your roots and lift them upwards away from your scalp.  Are there any cons to diffusing? Well, not really… While it's true that using a diffuser regularly can potentially lead to heat damage by breaking down the outer lipid layer of your strands, modern diffusers are designed to be gentler and are less likely to cause heat damage. To stay on the safe side, use medium to low heat to dry your curls and you’re good to go! Another potential “con” of diffusing is how time consuming and inconvenient it can be, especially if you’ve got a lot of hair! But think of it like this, you get to both dry your hair and an arm workout at the same time! Who needs a gym membership when you’ve got a diffuser, am I right? And there you have it, folks…In the battle of the haircare titans, diffusing emerges as the undisputed champion for curly locks! 🏆 From taming frizz and achieving perfect curls to keeping your scalp healthy, diffusing is the superhero every Curl Babe deserves! 💜

Although most of us have dealt with dryness at some point in our hair journey, for some, lack of moisture retention remains a perpetual issue. Curly and coily hair requires a lot of hydration in order to flourish, and when your hair struggles to retain any, it can feel like your crown isn’t reaching its full potential!  So, how do you tackle this issue? The following article will give you a step by step guide on how to overcome dryness and finally obtain the luscious, moisturized locks of your dreams! So, What is dry hair?  The first step to dealing with dryness is understanding what it is.  When your hair is dry, it means that your strands lack sufficient moisture and natural oils, making them rough and brittle to the touch. Unfortunately for us curly girls, the natural structure of our strands makes our hair more prone to dryness than straighter hair types. Normally, sebum, a natural oil that is produced by our scalp, should glide down our hair strands in order to coat them which helps to keep our hair moisturized and healthy.  However, because of the structure of curly hair, sebum has a harder time traveling down our hair shaft. This results in drier and more brittle hair. Usually, the curlier your hair is, the less likely it is for the sebum to be able to completely coat your strands from root to ends. This means that, generally, type 4 girls will naturally have drier hair than type 2 girls.  Why is having dry hair such a bad thing? Apart from the more obvious reasons such as dullness, roughness and excessive frizz, having dry hair is detrimental for a number of reasons.  Breaking Bad..  First of all, dry strands are way more fragile and break easier than moisturized hair strands. Think of it this way…If you try to bend something that is flexible, its shape will change and adapt but if you try to bend an object that isn’t pliable or elastic, it will break.  The same goes for your hair strands. When you manipulate moisturized locks, they won’t break as easily because they’re “flexible”. On the other hand, manipulating and styling dry, rough hair will result in excessive breakage because your strands aren’t pliable enough to bend. Hence, the main reason dry hair is such a nuisance is because it can set you back in your journey and stop you from retaining length.  Oh god.. The Tangles!  Another reason that dry hair can really be a pain is because it is more prone to tangles. When your hair lacks moisture, your cuticles (the outer layer of your hair shaft) will raise and open. This will cause your hair strands to latch onto each other which will eventually lead to more tangles and knots.  Style me not  Last but not least, dry hair is very difficult to manage and trying to style it can be frustrating. When your hair is dry, it lacks the flexibility needed to hold styles well. So, it can be challenging to achieve certain looks and hairstyles, especially if the hair is brittle and weak.  The Main causes of dry, brittle hair There are a number of reasons why your hair might be drier than usual. Here is a list of the most common causes of dry locks! You're using the wrong shampoo Washing your hair with shampoos that contain harsh ingredients like sulfates will leave your hair feeling dry and brittle. So, when choosing a shampoo, watch out for the following ingredients: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate and other derivatives.  Silicones and Mineral Oils  These ingredients coat your hair strands and over time lead to build up. They are very difficult to remove, even with shampoo so they create a barrier between your hair shaft and the products you apply. So, if you have a lot of build up, no matter how many time deep condition or apply leave in, your hair will remain dry because the products are not actually penetrating your hair.   Heat Styling I’m sure this surprises no one, but using heat tools (such as blow dryers, flat irons & curlers) too often will also lead to dryness.   Your environment Oftentimes, exposure to environmental factors such as Uv rays, cold weather, and dry air can cause your hair to become drier than usual.  Chemical Damage Once your locks become exposed to certain chemicals (for example bleach), your crown become extremely prone to dryness.  Remember... In order to achieve healthy, hydrated curls and coils, the most important thing is developing a good hair routine and being CONSISTENT with it! If you do this, over time, you're crown will reward you with luscious, bouncy locks!    How to treat dryness?  Avoid Harmful Ingredients  Avoid using products that contain harmful ingredients likes sulfates, silicones, mineral oil and parabens. Instead, choose products that are made with safe, healthy and natural alternatives. Your crown will thank you for it!  Use a moisturizing shampoo When you do decide to cleanse your locks, try replacing your regular shampoo with a moisturizing one. Most regular shampoos use harsh ingredients that completely strip your hair, leaving your strands dry and rough to the touch. Using a moisturizing shampoo will gently cleanse your scalp and hair without stripping and drying out your curls!  Try our Curl Renew Shampoo, a sulfate free product that will gently cleanse your hair whilst leaving your crown feeling hydrated and nourished! Made with Rose of Jericho and Ginseng extract, this shampoo will transform lifeless, dull hair into bouncy, hydrated curls!  Detox Once a Month Consider adding a chelating/cleansing shampoo to your routine once a month. This step will ensure that you're really removing all the buildup from your hair,  giving it a fresh start. Try our Curl Renaissance Chelating Shampoo  for the ultimate curl revival experience! Use a moisturizing Conditioner Another very important step is to make sure that your conditioner is actually moisturizing your strands. In fact, most conditioners aren’t actually doing ANYTHING for your hair. Excluding the fact that most products are full of silicone and other not so great ingredients, using the right conditioner for your hair can be the difference between a great wash day and another week battling dryness and frizz! If you have low porosity hair, most conditioners won’t even penetrate your hair cuticles. On the other hand, with high porosity hair, the moisture will leave your hair just as fast as it was absorbed!  It's important to use products that will actually penetrate your strands and deeply nourish them. For high porosity girls, a few extra steps are needed to ensure that the hydration actually STAYS. Rinsing the conditioner out with cold water and making sure to use oils and pomades during the styling process can help seal in all that moisture. If you want healthy, hydrated hair, try our new Moisture Rescue conditioner! Made with a lightweight formula, this conditioner will penetrate even the smallest of cuticles and deeply revitalize your hair from the inside out. Deep condition weekly 💭 "Deep conditioning is important…" 💭 "Make sure to deep condition every wash day..."   As curly girls, we’ve all heard this a million times! But as much as we’re all tired of hearing it, that doesn’t make it any less true. There is no going around it. you truly want to combat dryness, then it's time to actually be consistent with your deep conditioning routine! If you already deep condition on a weekly basis and your hair is STILL drier than the Sahara desert, then the issue is not your routine but the products you’re using. Not all products are made equal and it's important to research whether the ingredients in your products are causing your crown more harm than good.  If you want a product that will actually leave your hair hydrated and juicy, then try our Unconditional Love deep conditioner. Our deep conditioner is made to revitalize even the driest of curls. The Baobab protein is meant to restore your hair shaft while the Rose of Jericho provides deep hydration to your strands. Additionally, the Ginseng works to enhance blood circulation to your scalp, promoting overall hair health and faster growth!    Girl, put down the flat iron!  In order to maintain your hair’s moisture and prevent it from drying out, it’s crucial to minimize your heat. Avoid excessive heat styling and remember to use heat protectant when you use heat on your hair! Protect your hair from the environment Try to protect your hair from harsh elements. For example, in the summer, wear a hat to protect your curls from the UV rays. You can also use products that contain UV protection. Eat a balanced diet & drink more water  Make sure you’re eating a balanced diet rich in nutrients that will help support your hair health! Eat foods that are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D and E as well as fatty acids. Also, don’t forget to drink plenty of water! Remember when your body is properly nourished and hydrated internally, it will reflect externally.  Limit the use of harsh chemicals Avoid using harsh products that will dry out your strands and make your hair brittle and rough. Coloring or bleaching your hair too often can result in damaged, dry hair. So, if you do color your hair, make sure you’re giving your crown the extra love, care and attention that it needs by deep conditioning more often and using quality products!   For your crown to truly thrive, keeping your locks hydrated is key. By following the tips in this guide, you’ll be well on your way to achieving moisturized, juicy curls and coils in no time! 💜

What is a chelating Shampoo? And why you need it!

If you are dealing with Dry, Damaged Hair? You Probably Need This Product.  Have you ever stepped out of the shower, did your entire hair care routine, put in tons of effort to style it just right, only for it to end up looking even worse than before? You run through your product line in your mind – “Which one didn’t work? Did I use too much product? Did I not use enough?” It’s one thing when your hair doesn’t turn out the way that you had hoped — but it’s another when, no matter what you do or how hard you try, it just keeps looking dry, damaged, flat, or way too greasy. It’s almost like your hair decided to rebel against all of your efforts – ugh! Believe it or not, this problem is common with curly folks. And it isn’t anything you’re doing wrong – but rather, this darn thing called BUILDUP.  Too often, people with curly hair find that their hair is dry, damaged, or that their products just don’t work like they used to, and it’s usually caused by buildup from their environment – like hard water, salt water, or too much chlorine. How do you solve it? With this transformative bottle of Chelating Shampoo. Curious about what Chelating Shampoo is, the benefits, and when you should use it? Keep reading! What is a Chelating Shampoo? Chelating shampoo is about to become your hair’s newest best friend – simply because of how transformative it can be after one single use. It basically does all of the heavy lifting that your regular shampoo – or even a clarifying shampoo – just can’t do. Think of it like hiring a professional cleaning service for your house. They come in, deep clean every space, nook, and cranny of your house imaginable (yes, even that corner that you keep forgetting about), and then, you get to reap the rewards over and over. AKA – life-changing! A Chelating shampoo acts the same way. It deep cleanses your hair and scalp by removing any resistant product buildup, hard water mineral deposits, and heavy metals, all while rebalancing your pH levels. Talk about a game-changer in your hair care routine! What’s the differnce between a Chelating and a Clarifying shampoo, you migt ask? While clarifying shampoo is a wonderful product and definitely should be in everyone’s hair care routine, it’s not powerful enough to remove those hard-water minerals and heavy metals. Chelating shampoo is more powerful and takes things one step further – hence why after one single use, you can strut your glorious curls for months. It certainly does not need to be used as often as you think! The Benefits of Using a Chelating Shampoo So, what are the benefits of adding a chelating shampoo to your hair care routine? Here’s the greatest hits of this fantastic product: Chelating Shampoo… De-yellows grey hair Is great to use before a color or any chemical treatment Is safe to use for coloured hair and will keep your color vibrant It will lessen the damaging effects of salt water and chlorine exposure Is great for all hair types (including chemically strengthened hair) Cleanses stubborn buildup and purifies the scalp Helps alleviate constant dryness, limp and frizzy hair, excessive shedding, itchy scalps, and breakage And if that isn’t enough to convince you, our chelating shampoo is designed to restore and balance every strand from scalp to tip, giving your hair a fresh start – the ultimate hair renaissance! How to Use a Chelating Shampoo Using a chelating shampoo is actually more simple than you think! If you’re an active swimmer or known to have hard water exposure, we recommend using a chelating shampoo once a week (at maximum!). Otherwise, if you just have some buildup that needs some serious clarifying, use every 4-6 weeks! For the very best results, follow up each wash with a hydrating shampoo right after! Deep conditioning is obligatory! The Perfect Addition to Any Hair Care Routine Chelating shampoo truly is the perfect addition to any hair care routine for any type – but especially for curly hair!
