Care For Your Hair ❤︎︎
Finding the right products for your hair can be frustrating, but we have created the best products to give you stronger, healthier hair.
Curly hair care isn’t the same for everyone—it varies based on your curl pattern and porosity. Knowing your curls will help you better understand how to treat and care for them. Most people will tell you they have more than one curl type in their head, which can be true! However, knowing your basic curl pattern can help determine what is best for your curls to shine.
Curly hair routines really only vary slightly between curl types. The biggest difference in your natural curly hair care regimen will be with the types of curly hair products you use, just as we shared above. Below, we’ve boiled down the basics of how to take care of curly hair into eight steps anyone with curls should follow.
Basic Hair Care Steps:
1. Cleansing. Start your curly hair routine with a good wash to help get rid of any dirt and grime. When cleansing your main focus should be on your roots. Gently massage your cleanser from the roots to the ends of your hair. Cleanse is a clarifying shampoo that helps to remove product build up from the scalp without stripping your hair of it’s needed oils.
2. Conditioning. Follow it up with a great conditioner. This is where you focus on the length of your hair to the tips. Use your conditioner to also gently detangle before moving on to styling. Renew is made with many natural ingredients that will help to moisturize and restore your hair and give you soft and stronger curls.
3.Hair Mask. Usually, twice a month or at least once a month, treat your hair to a hair mask. We created two hair masks to use for this step. A leave- in treatment that is a combination of a leave in and hair treatment. This can be left in or rinsed out like a hair mask. Using our Chebé Leave- In Treatment will help to restore and deeply moisturize those curls. For an even more hydrating fix, use a hair steamer to help open up the cuticle and allow the mask ingredients to penetrate within the hair shaft. Our Miracle Mask is a keratin mask that works at repairing damaged, weak hair. Perfect for using when your hair really needs a “pick me up” to strengthen embed hair strands.
4. Proper drying. Dry your curls carefully. It’s important to dry curls with a fabric that won’t cause too much friction. Not only does friction make curls look frizzy because it’s lifting the cuticle, but the rubbing can also cause breakage. Instead of a towel, use a soft cotton T-shirt to dry curls.
5. Protecting. A big part of curl care is how you protect your hair while you sleep. Putting it in a protective style and ensuring that your hair doesn’t rub against rough fabrics is important. Sleeping with a bonnet or satin pillowcase is pretty much a requirement in any curly hair care routine.
6. Moisturize. When moisturizing, protect your strands with a leave in cream or spray. We have multiple great creams and sprays that help keep your hair healthy and growing. Our Nourish Cream is a rich, moisturizing leave-in made with Agave Nectar, Black Seed Oil, Shea Butter, and more beneficial ingredients to keep your strands soft nd conditioned throughout the day. Amla & Rice is a detangling hair milk created with Rice Ceramides, Amla Oil, Aloe Vera, Hemp Seed Oil, & Bamboo, Cupuacu, Tulsi, & Seabuckthorn Extracts to provide hydration while giving n easy slip for better detangling. Honey Butter is our daily moisturizing hair butter cream made with 100% Raw Orgnic Manuka Honey harvested from New Zealand. It is rich in humectants to give you hydrated, juicy curls while protecting from breakage and damage. Luster is a BIOTIN infused detangling spray and hair growth tonic. It is rich in ingredients that are beneficial for thickening the hair and encouraging hair growth. Hydra-Bond is our bond repairing leave in treatment that doubles as a detangling spray. This spray is created with hydrating ingredients to encourage growth, length retention, hydrate dry, brittle, hair, and leave a silky, smooth finish. *Formulated with a natural Bond Repairing Blend that is a 100% plant-derived complex designed to restore and fortify the hair structure at a molecular level.
7. Oiling. Our Soothe and Essence oils help to lock in moisture and can be used in a method that has been used by many cultures for centuries to help with scalp health, hair growth, hair thickness, scalp circulation and promoting shiny hair. Whether you prefer to use our oil as a prepoo oil treatment, an every day oiler, or a few times a week oiler, oiling and massaging your head is a great step to add to your routine to really see the health of your hair flourish. Remember retaining length is all about keeping those curls from breaking!
8. Define. If you want to help define your curls, use a hair curling cream like Puddin’ or Juicy to help define those bouncy curls. For more sleek styles, locs, braids, and edges, using a stronger and more durable gel is ideal. Our Pink GEL-O and our SO SLEEK hair gels are perfect for these styles. They provide strong hold with no flakes or build up.
Following these steps can aid in improving your hair health overall.
1. Wash. Sometimes you may need to shampoo 2x to get the best cleanse. Remember clean hair grows too! Setting a regular routine to wash your hair is beneficial for hair growth.
2. Condition. Deep treatment masks and your regular conditioner help to add some moisture to those curls. Depending on the type of conditioner or mask, this step can also focus on specific areas your needs like strengthening, repairing, hydrating, etc.
3. Hydrate. Spritz your hair with warm water or a lightweight conditioner cream. Using regular H2O aka Water is a great option for this step.
3. Moisturize/Style. On wet, hydrated hair add in more moisture with a cream leave in or spray. We have plenty to choose from!
4. Oil. This step can vary with hair type. If you have more oily hair you may want to only do this a few times a week. For an oil treatment - apply onto the hair after brushing out your hair and massaging the scalp. Apply to the ends and roots. Leave in a few hours and wash out (shampoo- may need to 2x & condition) and apply a leave in cream or spray to add back that moisture. If you prefer a leave in method we recommend leaving using it as such: Hydrate your hair with water or a good humectant if your choice. Go in with a leave in cream or spray. Apply the oils to your ends and a little on your scalp. Massage it in annd leave in until you anre ready to wash your hair. A little goes a long way with oiling so a dime sized amount is just enough. You don’t want to over do it and end up looking greasy. Oiling is also great for breaking that crunchy cast that some styling products leave.
5. Repeat. Continuous proper care of your hair and low manipulation is key for retaining length and keeping healthy hair. Repeat these steps whenever needed.
Finding a routine that works best for you is the first step to getting healthier hair. Everyone’s hair is different, so a routine that works for some may not work for all. (And that is okay!) We do our best to provide quality products with ingredients that will bring love and care to your strands.
Remember when you are wanting to retain length you have to take care of your hair. Your hair needs fed just like your body, except not with food. Most tighter curl patterns can be more dry and more fragile, these hair types tend to need the most care (But this does not mean looser curl types do not need care at all! They do too!) Making sure your hair is healthy and maintained from roots to ends is how to keep your hair growing faster, stronger, and healthier. Moisturizing and oiling your hair is a great way to help you reduce breakage and split ends, help your hair retain length better, and over all help your hair to stay longer, stronger, and healthier.
Your hair is apart of you, so let’s start taking better care of you.
