CURL QUESTIONS

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR HAIR LOSS?

MOST NATURAL HAIR PRODUCTS ARE FOR TOPICAL USE. HAIR LOSS USUALLY IS RELATED TO A MEDICAL CONDITION, GENETICS, AND DIET. WE RECOMMEND SEEING A SPECIALIST FOR HAIR LOSS. YOU SHOULD TAKE CARE OF YOUR REMAINING HAIR!

HOW DO I GET A DEFINED TWIST OUT?

THE KEY TO A DEFINED TWIST OUT IS TO USE A WATER BASED CREAMY STYLER LIKE OUR TWIST TRUFFLE WHIP OR THE LOC (LIQUID – OIL-CRÈME) SET! APPLY TO DAMP HAIR! TRY OUR HEATLESS CURLS COLLECTION!

HOW DO I DO A WASH AND GO?

WE LOVE CONDITIONER ONLY WASH AND GO’S BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE A NATURAL LUSTER VERSUS AN ARTIFICIAL SHINE. USE OUR LEAVE IN CONDITIONER AND STYLE FROSTING ON SOAKING WET HAIR! WORKING IN SECTIONS AND SMOOTHING PRODUCT ON IS THE BEST! TRY OUR WASH AND GO QUEEN COLLECTION SET! TIP - FOR A MORE DEFINED WASH AND GO, LAYER YOUR FAVORITE GEL OVER YOUR LEAVE IN!

WHAT IS MY HAIR TYPE?

WE DON’T BELIEVE IN HAIR TYPES (I.E. 3A, 4B, 4C, ETC). NO CURL IS THE SAME! THERE ARE GENERAL CATEGORIES WHICH INCLUDE STRAIGHT, WAVES, CURLS, SPIRALS, AND KINKS AND COILS! WE HAVE A CURL TYPE CHART TO ASSIST WITH CHOOSING PRODDUCTS.

WHAT IS HAIR DENSITY?

THIS IS THE NUMBER OF STRANDS YOU HAVE PER INCH! HIGH DENSITY MEANS YOU HAVE A LOT OF STRANDS AND VICE VERSA. HIGH DENSITY DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THICK HAIR.

WHAT IS HAIR POROSITY?

HAIR POROSITY RELATES TO HOW YOUR HAIR RETAINS MOISTURE. HIGH POROSITY HAIR HOLDS LESS MOISTURE AND VICE VERSA. YOU CAN TEST BY PUTTING A STAND IN A GLASS OF WATER AND IF IT FLOATS TO THE TOP THEN YOU HAVE HIGH POROSITY HAIR MEANING YOUR HAIR HOLDS LESS MOISTURE THAN AVERAGE.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DEEP CONDITION?

EVERY 2 WEEKS AT A MINIMUM TO REVIVE AND SMOOTH THE CUTICLE OF DRY HAIR. DEEP CONDITIONING HELPS SMOOTH TANGLES AS WELL! TRY OUR TRESS TREATMENT MASQUE!

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED A PROTEIN TREATMENT?

EVERY 4-6 WEEKS. WE WILL BE RELEASING A PROTEIN TREATMENT BUT A GREAT OPTION IS 1) CURL JUNKIE’S CURL REHAB AND 2) SHESCENTIT’S FORTIFYING MASQUE.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I MOISTURIZE?

THIS DEPENDS ON THE PERSON AND THE CURL! SOME PEOPLE NEED TO MOISTURIZE DAILY VERSUS OTHERS THAT MOISTURIZE ONCE A WEEK. TRY ANY OF OUR MOISTURIZERS!

HOW DO ENLONGATE OR STRETCH MY CURLS?

DO MAINTENANCE TWISTS AT NIGHT, STYLE ON STRETCHED HAIR, OR PULL YOUR HAIR INTO A HIGH PONYTAIL WITH A SATIN SCRUNCHIE (OR 2 LOW PONIES) AT NIGHT!

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR EDGE CONTROL?

OUR WHIPPED CRÈME ICING IS LIGHT AND PERFECT FOR SOFTLY LAYING DOWN EDGES AND SMOOTHING HAIR!

WHAT ARE HEATLESS CURLS?

HEATLESS CURLS INVOLVE TECHNIQUES WITHOUT THE USE OF HEAT TO STYLE HAIR AND CAN INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: TWIST OUT, BRAID OUT, CURLFORMERS, CURL PLATES, FLEXI ROD SETS, PERM ROD SETS, ETC. TRY OUR HEATLESS CURLS COLLECTION!

HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY HAIR AT NIGHT?

PUT ON A SATIN BONNET, SATIN SCARF OR SLEEP ON A A SATIN PILLOWCASE. THESE ARE SMOOTH FABRICS TO ASSIST WITH STYLE MAINTENANCE.

PULL YOUR HAIR INTO A HIGH PONY OR TWO LOW PONIES AT NIGHT OR DO MAINTENANCE TWISTS OR BRAIDS.

​I STRAIGHTEN MY HAIR WITH A FLAT IRON. WHICH PRODUCTS SHOULD I USE?

WHEN DOING STRAIGHT STYLES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE A CREAMY LEAVE IN ON TEXTURED HAIR. OUR TWIST TRUFFLE WHIP OR OUR LEAVE IN & STYLE FROSTING CAN BE APPLIED TO DAMP HAIR FOLLOWED BY A HEAT PROTECTANT SERUM AND THEN BLOW DRIED AND FLAT IRONED. WE ALSO RECOMMEND USING A CERAMIC FLAT IRON FOR THE BEST THE RESULTS. A CERAMIC FLAT IRON ADDS SHEEN AND BOUNCE.

​ARE YOUR PRODUCTS COLOR SAFE?

​OUR PRODUCTS ARE COLOR SAFE. HOWEVER, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU ALTERNATE WITH A COLOR SHAMPOO TO PROTECT THE COLOR AND STICK TO PROTEIN TREATMENTS 1X A MONTH AND DEEP CONDITION 2X A MONTH TO RESTORE MOISTURE AND STRENGTH.
