Why We Love Olaplex No.7

We love using Olaplex No.7 in salon as it brings a multitude of benefits to the hair including fantastic shine, softening and retexturizing, environmental and heat protection, extends colour life, and helps shorten styling time. We also know it is secretly repairing your hairs bonds so they grow stronger and less likely to break.

It is also suitable all hair types, made without parabens, tree nuts, or sulfates, vegan, gluten-free, preservative-free, and cruelty-free.

What Is It?

Olaplex N°.7 is a bonding oil that dramatically increases shine, softness, and colour vibrancy while minimizing flyaways and frizz.

Why Should I Use It?

  • Repairs damaged and compromised hair
  • Strengthens and protects hair structure
  • Restores healthy appearance and texture

Olaplex Is The Original Bond Builder. The only patented system to noticeably repair extreme damage—turn dry, brittle hair into soft, shiny, and more resilient hair. Plus Olaplex is cruelty free, vegan and free of nasties like sulphate and parabens!

Olaplex No.7

In addition to OLAPLEX’s patented bond building ingredient, a single bottle of No.7 Bonding Oil is loaded with highly beneficial, non-toxic ingredients that help take this oil to the next level:

  • Fermented Green Tea Oil: Supports strength of the hair. Prevents split ends and breakage.
  • Pomegranate Seed Oil: Increases shine, giving the hair a silky texture. The vitamins also add a protective layer to the hair for enhanced manageability and shine.
  • Sun Flower Seed Oil: Acts as a hair protectant against damage caused by free radicals and other hair processes or styling.
  • Neem Leaf Extract: Promotes healthy hair growth, reduces dandruff, reduces frizz, conditions the scalp, and is anti-bacterial.
  • Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil: Strengthens hair, moisturizes the scalp, fights split ends, and promotes hair growth.
  • Noni Fruit Powder: Antioxidant! The fatty acids in Noni strengthen the hair follicles and help treat any related issues like hair fall. Clears buildup in the scalp, moisturizes, treats scalp issues like dandruff.

How To Apply It?

Add just a few drops to wet or dry hair before styling with heat. Re-apply lightly before restyling of dry hair between washes.

For dry curly and processed hair, use as much as needed. For fine hair, start with a drop or two, working your way up if desired. Thirsty hair loves this oil, so if your hair type drinks it up, apply as often as you wish! 

What Hair Types?

All hair types, especially for those using heat tools daily.

We find the biggest challenge that we get asked about is how to repair damaged hair. In todays modern world there are many things that we do to our hair that results in damage such as colouring, heat tools such as stylers and dryers and our vatiable weather in NZ with it’s harsh sun, wind and cold.

Why We Love The New Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate For Damaged Hair

If your hair has become dry and damaged we recommend a targeted system to repair and get it back on track as your normal moisturizing shampoo may not be enough.

K18 is a Hair Mask that delivers incredible results in minutes. It is different to bonding treatments and can be used alongside your bonder. 

How Does K18 Work?

Patented K18 is not just a temporary fix — it’s the first product to utilise biomimetics to reconnect keratin chains once broken by bleach, colour, and chemical services, resulting in soft, smooth, strong hair with bounce that feels like new.

K18 Renews hairs strength, softness, smoothness, and bounce.

k18

The more damaged the hair, the more dramatic the results. We have loved seeing these amazing results first hand in salon, where the K18 treatment is our current go-to for dramatic results on all hair types.

THE SCIENCE

When hair gets damaged, the polypeptide chains that make up the inner structure of hair strands break. These chains are responsible for hair strength and elasticity, so when they become weakened or disconnect hair loses its resiliency and strength—or the look and feel of healthy hair.
Traveling into the inner-most layers of hair to reach the core polypeptide chains (keratin chains), the revolutionary K18Peptide™ is just the right size and makeup to fit in and reconnect these broken chains and re-conform any disturbed disulfide bonds. This reconnection is what renews hair for that like-new look and feel.

Kelly, Creative Director You may be wondering what are the differences with Olaplex No.7 and the similar sounding sister product Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother? Let Us Explain!

We Share the key differences between No.6 & No.7

With the launch of the fantastic Olaplex Bonding Oil No. 7 you may be wondering what are the differences with the similar sounding sister product Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother? 

As No.6 & No. 7 are both essentially styling products, that aim to repair and smooth, we thought we would explain the differences and how how to use each product.

Olaplex No. 6 is a leave-in reparative styling cream that eliminates frizz, hydrates & protects all hair types. However, as it is a cream it is more suited for curly and thicker hair rather than an oil.

We find that the No. 6 as it is highly concentrated, can weigh down fine hair if too much is applied - it's ok if you get the quantity right but have to use sparingly. 

No. 6 is a great product to add before blow drying as it will really get into your hair to hydrate and smooth and also speed up blow dry times. This helps minimise damage. It will also additionally protect your hair as it also contains a heat protectant - both from hot tools and UV rays. It will help to eliminate frizz for up to 72 hours.

Olaplex No.7 is a ultra light weight reparative styling oil that is also highly-concentrated but comparatively weightless. No. 7 will dramatically increase shine and softness.

It will add beautiful colour vibrancy and make that new colour pop! It is great to use on those "second days" to banish dullness. Plus as it is an oil you can use to prime your hair and detangle any knots after washing.

It also provides heat protection and so is great to use prior to blow drying or styling. It also protects fro UV rays.

To best understand how the Olaplex range works lets look how the products were developed. Olaplex No.3 was the first at home treatment to be used twice a week but then you would be left to use whatever shampoo or styling product.

Olaplex launched their Shampoo (No. 4), Conditioner (No.5), Smoothing Cream (No. 6) and Bonding Oil (No. 7) as they believe it is in your hairs best interest if your every day hair care products all contain the unique Olaplex bond maintenance ingredient. This makes total sense as if your goal is to get your hair super healthy and keep it healthy why waste your time with a shampoo that does nothing to help the rebuild or maybe even make your hair's condition even worse. 

It is key to remember that the unique Olaplex bond maintenance ingredient in all products in the Olaplex family will repair damaged hair and restore strength by rebuilding the internal bonds of the hair. Your hair will feel and look great if you can use all of their products in conjunction with each other. 

Bottom Line

All of the Olaplex products are designed to be used together. Using the full set will help build strength in damaged hair along with the key feature each product delivers.

If you can, add No. 7 to your regime along with No's 3,4,5,6. 8 & 9

Specifically No. 6 will strengthen your hair and add smoothness and No.7 will also strengthen your hair and add shine. (If you have fine hair perhaps just go for No.7 unless you can make sure not to overdo No. 6.)

Get ready for strong healthy beautiful hair.

Olaplex is known for it's incredible hair bond repairing ingredients and has become one of out biggest sellers. As well as being able to repair damaged hair the range can also be used to help keep natural curls looking healthy and bouncing with vibrancy.

What Olaplex Products Are Best For Curly Hair?

The Olaplex range is ideal for curly hair as it will condition, protect and repair your curls that are more prone to frizz then other types of hair. Even the way you sleep and the drag of your pillow can create damage to your curls so a regime that combines moisture and repair is key.

If you regularly style your curls with heat tools or add colour through chemical processing, you may find damage also occurring that affects the health of your hair. Curly hair needs to be moisturised and nourished to keep the curls beautiful and luscious, not frizzy and dry.

Step 1 Olaplex No.4 Shampoo

Olaplex Shampoo is great as it is full of natural ingredients and most importantly it is sulphate free which is great as sulphates will dry out your curls.

N°4 Shampoo repairs and protects hair from everyday stresses — including damaged hair, split ends, and frizz — by re-linking broken bonds. Leaves hair easier to manage, shinier and healthier with each use.

Step 2 Olaplex No.5 Conditioner

Curly hair is naturally dryer than other hair textures so conditioning with a beautiful moisturizing conditioner is key.  

A highly-moisturizing, reparative conditioner for your curly locks and leaves hair easier to manage, shinier and healthier with each use. 

Watch: OLAPLEX No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo & No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner: EXPLAINED

If you find your hair has suffered damage through bleaching and needs an extra boost then it is also a good idea to add the Olaplex no.3 Hair Perfector Treatment to you routine at this point. Olaplex No.3 will work hard at repairing your bonds and ensuring your curls are in the best condition. Use the treatment twice a week to begin with and then once a week going forward.

If your hair is more needing moisture than repair than we suggest a weekly treat of the Olaplex No.8 Moisture Mask. It has the Olaplex bond repair active ingredient but it is designed to really penetrate your curls more than any other product. You can also use No.8 as a great detangler - simply add to wet hair after shampooing then detangle and rinse out your hair ready for styling.

Once you have your hair in great condition, the next trick for your curls is styling. The first tip is to get to know how much product you need to apply as you may think you need more than recommended if you have thick long curls. Olaplex is super concentrated so start off by using the recommended amount and work up from there if you need, making sure you are applying to damp hair.

Step 3 Olaplex No.6

No.6 is ideal for thick curly hair as it is designed to really sink in to your curls to eliminate frizz for up to 72 hours and you can use as a leave in cream that will both style and repair your hair. Apply as always to damp hair and then you can let it dry naturally, which is preferred for natural curly hair, and if you use a hair dryer try and use a diffuser.

Step 4 Olaplex No.7

No.7 is a beautiful oil that adds heat protection and shine to your curls as part of your styling regime. It also works wonders together with No.6 as a cocktail of Olaplex goodness.

Watch: Christin Brown, a celebrity Olaplex curl specialist who demonstrates using the 2 products together!

How to Apply OLAPLEX N°.6 and N°.7 to Curls 


Remember that Olaplex is super concentrated and only a little bit goes a long way so your investment in your Olaplex routine will last you a good amount of time and you will see the results in your curls becoming beautifully defined and healthy.

Tip: If your budget does not allow all products we have recommended we suggest No.4 Shampoo to clean and protect, No.8 Mask to condition and moisture and No.6 to style as a minimum to set you up for great looking curls.

No one ever wants frizzy hair and our hair often goes frizzy at the worst possible time! It can feel exhausting trying to tame our frizzy hair everyday especially if the weather is humid! 

Here we have the definitive guide to how to prevent frizzy hair in the first place.

Let's Eliminate Frizzy Hair!

IMPORTANT – There are many things that can exacerbate frizzy hair which we will touch on but there is one fundamental that if you can grasp you will be well on the way to winning the frizz game! Frizzy Hair is due to your hair being dry and lacking moisture. Most of the causes of frizzy hair are actually due to your hair drying out so if we can combat this and keep your hair healthy and well hydrated we eliminate the frizz!

To fully understand what happens we need to get a little technical – when your hair is dry or damaged the hair cuticle is rough and “opens up” and this open cuticle will grab at any moisture which equals frizz. We want a nice smooth healthy cuticle which can deal with moisture and not become frizzy.

Below we list the top 10 causes of frizzy hair (or as we now know 10 things that strip your hair of moisture!) Hopefully some of these you can easily identify with and you may realise they have snuck into your hair routine.

It is likely that if you are really determined to rid the frizz it will be a number of things you need to change buy hey it may just mean a slight tweak or swap out a habit or product and you will soon see great results! 

  1. Long Hot Showers if you stand under the shower for too long and the water is too hot you will start your day by stripping your hair of essential oils. When washing your hair go for luke-warm short showers
  1. Ruffling Dry with Towel – if your towel is too abrasive you can damage your hair which can cause frizz. Try using a microfiber towel or not using a towel at all and leaving it to air dry
  1. Styling Hair without Thermal Protection can lead to damage. Apply styling product with thermal protection to wet hair from roots to tip. Applying a  product with thermal protection into wet hair is essential as it prevents extra damage caused by your hairdryer or styling irons.

Apply to damp hair and style as desired

  1. Brushing – a cheap brush that pulls at your hair will not help us prevent frizz. Find a bush that has good quality bristles that does not pull at your hair.
    We recommend: 

ghd Oval Dressing Brush

  1. Over Shampooing – if you shampoo every day you may be stripping those essential hair oils, your hair will dry out which as we know leads to frizz. Go for washing 2 to 3 times per week max.
  1. Regular use of Hot Tools such as a hair dryer, straightener or curling iron will defiantly put pressure on your hair. Once damaged we are again opening ourselves up for frizz.Try being mindful how many times you are using your hot tools – as your hair gets in better shape you may find the need to straighten is less. When you do straighten it is essential you use a heat protect spray to create a protective layer on your hair before applying heat.
    We recommend: 

Pureology Colour Fanatic Spray 

Pureology Colour Fanatic Spray

Not only a heat protectant but has another 20 benefits to help keep your hair healthy – a real must have!

  1. Lack of Regular Trims – if you don’t have your hair cut for a long period of time you may find split ends form. These rough and dry ends will be a cause of frizziness. It is essential  you get a trim every 6 weeks to keep your ends in check.
  1. Sulphates in shampoo have been shown to strip hair of its natural protective oils which keep moisture in. Choose a sulphate free shampoo and conditioner that contains as many natural ingredients as possible to help protect your hair. We recommend thinking twice about a cheaper shampoo / conditioner as this will often contain sulphates and harsh chemicals.

    We recommend: 

Pureology Smooth Perfection Shampoo 266ml

Pureology Smooth Perfection Shampoo 266ml

Gentle shampoo that restores manageability for frizz-prone, color-treated hair.
Pureology Smooth Perfection Shampoo smooths and restores manageability for frizzy, color-treated hair with key ingredients Camellia and Shea Butter and a signature aromatherapy blend of Cocoa, Marshmallow Accord, and Woody.
  1. Chemical treatments such as bleaching, perming and colouring over time can damage the integrity of your hair and damaged hair will be frizzy. If you are going to regularly have chemical treatments in the salon (and why wouldn’t you??) we highly recommend adding a repairing treatment to your routine, leave in conditioner or masks prior and after the treatment to ensure your hair is in great shape to take the chemicals.
    We recommend: 

Olaplex 3 At Home Treatment

 Olaplex 3

Apply to wet hair twice a week – leave in as long as you can and wash out thoroughly.

Apply once a week – leave in for 15 minutes and wash out thoroughly

  1. Humidity – although not a cause of frizziness you will find if you are in a humid environment with dry / damaged hair those hair cuticles will suck in the moisture in the air which leads to frizz. Follow the steps listed here so your hair is in better shape and also for the times you are in a humid climate use a dedicated spray to give you and extra protective boost – apply to wet hair prior to going out.
We recommend:

    Having dry hair and scalp is a common problem and one that can increase as we age. There are many reasons for dry hair to occur and the good news is there are many great solutions that will add moisture and fantastic soft manageable hair in no time.

    What Causes Dry Hair?

    • Genetics

    No matter what your hair care routine for some of us we naturally find our hair to be on the dry side. This is especially true for curly hair types as the curls make it hard for natural oils from the scalp to fully penetrate the hair strands.

    Plus as we get older, our production of scalp oils will naturally slow down which is why we see dry hair as a more common issue as we age.

    • Environment

    In summer, too much sun, wind, chlorine and dry air can lead to dry hair. In winter the cold dry hair plus heated air inside will also dry your hair out.

    • Hair Colouring

    Colouring your hair in salon or at home can have an affect on your hair by damaging it's integrity and leaving your hair feeling dry and brittle. You can try different styles such as Balayage as opposed to a whole colour but you may find you still get dry minds and ends.

    • Heat styling

    Regular use of your hair dryer or hair straightener can lead to your hair strands becoming damaged and dry. The high temperature of the tools that come in to contact directly with the hair are the worst at stripping out the natural oils.

    • Over Washing + Under conditioning

    Sometimes if you over wash your hair, especially with a shampoo with ingredients that are too harsh for your hair can lead to dryness. As can under conditioning your hair - dry hair needs lots of conditioning.

    Best Hair Care To Prevent Dry Hair

    • Shampoo & Conditioner

    In the shower, every other day use a quality moisturising Shampoo & Conditioner designed for dry hair. These products will be rich and cream and contain beautiful natural ingredients designed to retain moisture.

    Pumping your hair full of protein and healthy fats will keep it hydrated. Make sure your shampoo and conditioner are right for your hair type. Fine hair will be weighed down with a shampoo designed for thick hair.

    If you have recently been to your favourite salon and left with a beautiful blonde shade, the last thing you want is for yucky brassy tones to come through or for your colour to fade.

    In the salon your hair stylist will have applied a toner to help counter the risk of gold, brassy tones and these toners will last around 3 – 4 weeks as they are not permanent.

    To avoid the last few weeks before your next colour appointment being a disaster of unwanted golden tones, we recommend adding a shampoo from our fantastic range of purple shampoos that will help keep your beautiful blonde shade longer.

    How do Purple Shampoo and Conditioners Work?

    How do Purple Shampoo and Conditioners Work?

    It’s all about the colour theory: purple sits opposite yellow (brassy) on the colour wheel, so when they’re mixed, they off-set each other for a more neutral shade. When applied to the hair, a small amount of this purple pigment is absorbed, and the violet hues neutralise brassy undertones for a cooler colour. 

    We have put together the best stylist based recommendations below that are all full tried and tested and guaranteed to work!

    8 best purple shampoos for blonde hair

    1. Redken Colour Extend Blondage Purple Shampoo 300ml

      Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Many of us suffer from various scalp concerns over time such as dandruff or a flaky scalp. Our quick guide will help step through what can cause scalp issues and how to prevent them.

      What is Flaky Scalp & Dandruff?

      Dandruff and dry scalp have similar symptoms which are the white flakes we see falling from our hair and sit on our shoulders, but they are two different conditions so don't always assume it is dandruff.

      Dry flaky Scalp is as simple as your skin / scalp getting irritated and flaking off whereas dandruff is caused by too much oil on the scalp, your skin cells build up and then shed.

      Dry Flaky Scalp is caused generally by a lack of moisture to the scalp which irritates your scalp and it will flake off. It can also be caused by a reaction to the products you apply to your scalp which is known as contact dermatitis.

      Dandruff - a common cause of dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis which turns the scalp oily, red and scaly. The scaly skin flakes off which creates the white flakes. 

      Hormones and stress are factors that can create a fungus called malassezia which can trigger dandruff.

      Shampoo and conditioners that contain harsh chemicals and ingredients that are far from being natural can increase the oil creation and build up on the scalp too.

      How Can I Treat Flaky Scalp & Dandruff?

      As is often the case prevention is the best solution. Try and keep your scalp as healthy as possible. Focus on stopping it from drying out in the first place by not over washing and use only haircare with more natural ingredients that will not encourage that oil build up.

      If you do feel you need to treat flaky scalp or dandruff that has taken hold, you may need a targeted haircare regime to get your scalp back to being healthy. 

      We have picked our most popular haircare solutions that will help prevent and treat these conditions.

      Olaplex has taken off in the last few years as an essential part of any hair care routine especially if you are intending to colour your hair. It also helps to repair all types of damage that you may put your hair through day to day.

      Here, from our friends at Olaplex.com is all you need to know about Olaplex and if it is right for your hair type.

      How Does Olaplex Work?

      All hair contains millions of disulfide bonds which give the hair its structure, strength and stability. When all the bonds, especially the disulfide bonds, are intact and in alignment, you have healthy, beautiful, shiny, touchable hair. When disulfide bonds are broken, it results in damage.

      Olaplex - How Does It Work

      Hair is damaged daily. Split ends, frizz, lackluster Color, thinning and dryness can all be related to broken disulfide bonds.

      • Flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers all cause damage due to the high levels of heat being used.

      • Mechanical damage such as brushing, friction, tugging and pulling on wet hair affect the bonds.

      • UV damage from the sun, humidity, extreme hot/cold weather conditioners, pollution, etc. all have a negative impact on the hair’s bonds.

      • Chemical services can also cause damage. These services include Color, Lighteners, Perms, Relaxers, Keratin Treatments, and Japanese Straighteners/Thermal Reconditioners.

      The chemicals and/or thermal tools being used react with the disulfide bonds breaking them and causing protein loss, leaving behind damaged hair. When damage occurs, it affects the disulfide bonds throughout the entire hair fiber.

      Before & After

      What Hair Types Does Olaplex Work Best With?

      OLAPLEX is beneficial for all hair types.

      Whether your hair is Color Treated, Texture Treated, Virgin or anything in between, it is damaged on a daily basis. OLAPLEX assists in both preventing that damage and repairing it, returning the hair to a virgin like state. OLAPLEX is compatible with all manufacturers chemical service products.

      Your hair is an investment, and the only accessory that you never take off. In fact, it’s the only thing short of plastic surgery that can change the way you feel about yourself. Everyone wants beautiful, healthy, manageable shiny hair and with OLAPLEX, that can become a reality!

      VIRGIN HAIR (No Chemical Processing)

      OLAPLEX is great for virgin hair. It helps to repair existing damage while protecting it from thermal, mechanical and environmental damage. OLAPLEX strengthens and prepares the hair for future services.

      COLOR TREATED HAIR

      OLAPLEX can be mixed into all Colors and Lighteners to lessen the damage caused by these services. OLAPLEX is also used to maintain and repair Color Treated hair for healthy, beautiful looking hair.

      CURLY AND NATURALLY TEXTURED HAIR

      OLAPLEX rebuilds, restructures and improves moisture retention to curls that have lost their shape. OLAPLEX infuses curly hair with added moisture and condition for beautiful bouncy, resilient curls. Fragile curly hair has more lightening and chemical service options when OLAPLEX is used.

      STRAIGHT HAIR

      OLAPLEX will strengthen straight hair, improving manageability, movement and shine. The condition of the hair won’t be compromised using thermal styling options such as curling irons, hot rollers, etc. when the hair is treated prior with OLAPLEX.

      TEXTURE SERVICES (PERMANENT WAVES, RELAXERS, THERMAL STRAIGHTENING/RECONDITIONING)

      OLAPLEX helps to maintain the integrity of the hair before, during and after all texture services. Texture services last longer, and the hair stays in better condition when OLAPLEX is used correctly. Damage-free Color and Lightening Services performed after any texture service are possible when properly using them with OLAPLEX.

      EXTENSIONS

      OLAPLEX can be used on all 100% human hair extensions. Some extensions have a Keratin coating on them which can sometimes act as a barrier to the OLAPLEX Treatment.

      Extensions sometimes are treated with textile dyes which can lead to unpredictable results with Color or lightening. With any type of glued in or taped in extensions, we recommend keeping OLAPLEX off those areas to avoid possibly loosening them. When in doubt, always perform a Strand Test on extensions as results may vary.

      Purple shampoo is just that—a shampoo with purple pigments that helps to keep undertones at bay. Think of it as your at-home toner that helps to beat brass.

      How To Treat Blonde Hair

      Redken Blondage Purple Shampoo

      The concept of purple tinted shampoo might sound a little crazy to the blonde newbies, but ask any tried and true blonde and they’ll tell you it’s a must-have for keeping hair looking strong and bright.

      Redken Blondage Haircare System

      The Redken Color Extend Blondage System is a colour-depositing purple shampoo, conditioner and mask for blonde and highlighted hair.

      Redken Color Extend Blondage System

      Redken Blondage shampoo features key ingredients salicylic acid to strengthen and repair blonde hair from the core and pure violet (purple) pigments to remove unwanted brassiness and leave blonde hair color cool and bright.

      Redken Blondage

      While your goal is to tone hair and prevent brassy undertones, it's also important to protect and strengthen hair after lightening services. Redken’s Color Extend Blondage is formulated with a Triple Acid Protein complex—amino, citric and maleic acids and wheat protein—that not only neutralizes unwanted undertones, but also helps strengthen hair’s cuticles. This color-depositing shampoo protects color and leaves blonde hair looking cool, all while repairing each hair from the core, a necessary bonus for color treated hair.

      Redken Blondage Shampoo

      HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE PURPLE SHAMPOO?
      Keep in mind that purple shampoo does not replace your regular shampoo and should only be used once or twice a week. We recommend combining with Redken Colour Extend Shampoo and Conditioner

      Someone once said: 

      "The struggle of having curly hair is doing the same hair routine every time and getting a different result every single time."

      If you’re tired of your hard worked blow-dry frizzing out as soon as you leave the house and fed up with being ‘blessed’ with naturally curly hair don’t worry as we are here with some fantastic curling tips that anyone can use.

      The following tips will apply for all types of curl as they are tried and tested in salon by our experienced stylists that specialise in curls.

      STEP 1 | LESS IS BEST

      With curls use small amounts of product. You’d be surprised at how many people use far too much product as they think they need more with curly hair.

      When using any product with your curls a little goes a long way.  Distribute product evenly throughout the hair. Using too much can result in heavy looking curls that are lifeless.

      Try it, you’ll be astounded by the results, and the bonus is your product will last longer!!

      STEP 2 | AVOID SULPHATES

      We take the cleansing of our hair as a basic grooming step, but with curls it is important to avoid all shampoos with sulphates.

      Sulphate shampoos can be too harsh for curly hair and tend to rob the hair of moisture, which curly hair needs lots of. The residue of sulphate shampoos causes friction leading to frizziness.

      STEP 3 | SHAMPOO LESS & TIME TO TAME

      It’s best not to shampoo every day with curls, shampoo less often but when you do always use a moisture infused conditioner or mask. 

      STEP 4 | DIFFUSE THE SITUATION

      Diffusers are a curly girls best friend. Try one, you won’t regret it.

      Instead of blowing your curls out in to a mass of frizz like a nozzle, diffusers will dry without the jet plane force.

      STEP 5 | TREAT YOUR CURLS

      No doubt you’ve heard it all before, your stylist tells you every visit. Treatments. Masks. Deep conditioning. You feel like she’s trying her hardest to tell you something? She is, for a very good reason.

      We’ve talked about moisture, and how curly hair needs LOTS of it. This is how you get it. Treatments, Masks, Deep conditioning. Yes, she/he was right all along.

      It's not because we’ve pushing products for the sake of it, it’s because we know what is right for you and your curls. Just like the diffuser, you won’t regret it, and your curls will love you for it.

      STEP 6 | STAY AWAY FROM THE HEAT 

      It is crucial to minimize your use of heated tools. Yes, ladies even your hairdryer. I know that diffuser needs a source of heat, just make sure it’s on a low heat setting.

      If using heat is a must, for that hot date tonight, always use a heat protector for the hair.

      STEP 7 | TIME TO GET HANDY

      Finally, throw away those brushes as this will just add to the frizz. Finger combing and a wide tooth combs are now your choice of styling tool!

      So, ladies now with your fabulous curls being let loose and looking luxurious, it’s time to ditch those straighteners and revel in those beautiful, tamed, healthy, shiny CURLS!
