Embracing your natural curls during the transitioning process is a commendable journey that deserves recognition. Remember, these experiences are integral parts of the transformation as you discover what resonates best with your unique curls. To offer guidance and insight, we’ve compiled answers to frequently asked questions. However, if you seek more personalised advice, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Addressing Scalp and Hair Greasiness:
Experiencing an adjustment period is common, especially when transitioning from foaming shampoos to non-foaming cleansers like our Curl Cleanser. This shift prompts your scalp to recalibrate its sebum production from excessive to normal levels. The adaptation can take between 6 to 12 weeks. Ensure thorough product application by massaging the scalp firmly, focusing on complete coverage. Inadequate rinsing could leave a greasy residue. Finer textures prone to being weighed down might skip conditioner and solely rely on the Curl Cleanser. Those with oil-prone scalps should consider our Hydrating Hair Cleanser for more oil removal. For balanced scalps, alternate between Curl Cleanser and Hydrating Hair Cleanser for optimal moisture equilibrium.
Tackling Dryness and Frizz:
A touch of functional frizz enhances curls’ shape and volume, but an abundance of frizz might suggest an issue. To combat this, consider these steps:
- Leave more or all of your conditioner in.
- Ensure hair is well-moistened before applying conditioning and styling products.
- Increase conditioner usage.
- For fast moisture loss, layer Curl Cream over Curl Conditioner or combine with Revive 5 Hair Oil for lasting hydration.
Streamlining Detangling:
Curl Conditioner, while supremely moisturising, may feel less slippery due to its penetrative formula. Untangle with care using Revive 5 Hair Oil on dry hair before washing. This prevents further tangling during washing. Add water to the Curl Conditioner application to hydrate and facilitate even distribution.
Matching Curl Types with Styling Products:
- Curl Cream: Tailored for dry, thirsty curls. Apply a small amount and adjust based on hair’s weight. Use on very wet hair during wash day. For non-wash days, mix ½ pump with water and apply as needed to dry areas.
- Curl Defining Gel: Ideal for all curl types. Lightweight with a serum-like consistency, this gel sets curl definition and combats overnight frizz. Apply to very wet hair for optimal results.
- Super Hold Styler: Best for waves and loose curls needing firm hold. Great for shorter hairstyles, fringes, or sleek ponytails. Use with Curl Defining Gel for ultimate definition.
Addressing Scalp Issues:
An itchy scalp can result from various factors. Consider these steps:
- Avoid excessive shampooing to prevent oil stripping.
- Alternate between Curl Cleanser and Hydrating Hair Cleanser.
- For a non-foaming cleanser, ensure proper technique for scalp stimulation.
- Use Scalp Exfoliating Scrub every 4-6 weeks for deep cleansing.
- Combat itchiness with Revive 5 Oil massaged onto scalp, then cleanse.
- Essential oils in products can trigger allergies; discontinue if irritation occurs.
Transitioning comes with its unique set of challenges and triumphs. By navigating these hurdles with patience and awareness, you’re well on your way to achieving radiant, healthy curls. We’re here to support your journey – feel free to reach out to us for any guidance you need.
