Slowly over time, pollution, stress and a build-up of quick-fix styling products all impact on the quality of our hair. It can be easy to not realise the slow impact these factors are having on your hair. That’s why it is important to take care of your crown and protect it the natural way with powerful essential oils.
This concentrated superfruit blend is fortified with fruit oils of Tangerine, Papaya, Avocado and Watermelon, helping your curls retain moisture, whilst enveloping each strand in an invisible, non-greasy, protective layer. It leaves curls feeling softer and shiny while giving off the sweetest, invigorating aroma found in no other hair product.
As a multi-tasking hair saviour, Flora & Curl African Citrus Bloom Superfruit Hair Oil can be used as an overnight hot oil treatment, a pre-poo treatment, a frizz-minimising serum and it also works brilliantly as a defense against damages caused by the sun, sea and chlorinated water.
Made with African Saharan plant oils of Kalahari, Jojoba, Baobab and Crambe, these oils are prized for their antioxidant richness and UV-protective properties that restore hair’s natural sheen. This blend is an essential for daily curl protection.
Free from: silicones, sulfates, artificial fragrances, mineral oils or artificial colors.
Texture
This is a thin oil that melts into curls with ease. This lightweight oil melts into curls like butter! It doesn’t weigh down or stretch curls at all.
Scent
Like a blend of fresh tangerines and oranges.
Ingredient highlights
Baobab Oil: protects the hair against harmful elements such as UV rays, pollution and chemicals.
Jojoba oil: balances oils in the scalp and helps your hair to maintain a healthy balance of natural oils.
Kalahari Oil: helps to produce melanin in the hair, allowing it to keep its colour intact.
How can you use it?
To style: Start by adding a few drops into your hands and warm the oil between your palms. Apply to clean wet or dry hair to seal ends and add shine. Use on finished style to add shine and softness.
For a therapeutic scalp massage: Apply oil to stimulate the hair follicles. Cover hair with shower cap. Let sit for 30 minutes or overnight.
How I use this oil
Although this oil is extremely versatile, I find myself using it as an overnight treatment the most. Here’s how to use it as an overnight treatment:
- Unlike other oils, you don’t need to heat this one up in a microwave. Simply pump it into your hands and rub your palms together. It will melt and soften just by the heat of your hands.
- Using the praying hands technique, sandwich your hair in between your hands. Start at the top and slowly slide your hands down your strands.
- Your curls are now starting to soak in the rich nutrients being offered in this powerful oil blend! This oil blend is perfect for soaking into strands, but you don’t want to get these oils on your pillowcase since they can be too heavy for your skin. Put your curls into a pineapple.
- Cover your pineapple with a sleep bonnet to further protect curls.
The result: soft, shiny curls
This oil gives my curls an ultra soft feel and a shiny look. For an instant curl level up, this is my go to!
