Flora & Curl

Flora & Curl's Twist & Braid Cream is the secret to long-lasting hydration and definition. Designed to moisturize, seal, and add shine to your style, this product contains cocoa butter, mango butter, and aloe vera to help you avoid that crispy, crunchy twist-out or braided style.

CW says... Flora & Curl recommends this product for type 3 and 4 hair.

Directions

Apply to wet or damp hair. Take a quarter-sized amount into the palm of your hand, then rub palms together to emulsify. Apply before twisting or braiding up small sections of the hair, then allow hair to airdry completely. Gently unravel each section of hair, then style as usual! 


It can be used after applying the Jasmine Oasis Hydrating Hair Mist. For maximum shine and radiance, unravel hair with the African Citrus Superfruit Hair Oil once the hair is dry.

This clay-based cleanser is especially formulated for curly and textured hair. Gently remove product build-up without stripping your scalp of its natural oils. The addition of banana and coconut powders moisturize your hair so you can use Flora & Curl's Soothe Me Coconut Mint Curl Refresh Clay Wash as a 2-in-1 without the need for additional conditioner after washing. 

CW says... This product is not recommended for coloured hair.

Directions

In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp of the powder with 6 tbsp of warm water to freshly activate the treatment. Apply to hair and roots, and let sit on hair for 10-15 minutes under a plastic cap. Then rinse out thoroughly with warm water and be amazed!

Tip: For best results apply on damp, already detangled hair and apply to twisted sections. Cover shoulders with towel.

Please note: The Clay Wash is not suitable for colour-treated hair.

A Note On Clay Washes from Flora & Curl

How is the clay wash different from other cleansing products?
Our Curl Refresh Clay Wash is a pure, all-natural, clay-based clarifying treatment to help press reset on your curls. Our unique formula is concocted with earth softening clays, sweet conditioning fruits and stimulating organic essential oils for all curl types: curls, kinks and coils. It contains no synthetic petrochemicals, artificial fragrances, sulphates, silicones, surfactants/detergents, soap or wax to leave a residue on the hair or scalp. As the Clay Wash contains no soaps or foaming agents, there will be no lather at all. It is formulated with Bentonite clay, an incredibly powerful clay, possessing a negative charge (anionic). It has the ability to remove positively charged (cationic) conditioners and products that can build up on the hair and scalp. Micro molecules supercharge absorption power, pulling oils, toxins, heavy metals and impurities and stimulating blood flow.

It does double the job: Our clay-based cleanser is the perfect deep clean detox and curl reset formula that cleans your curls gently without stripping curls of essential moisture and proteins.

Where in my curl routine does a clay wash go? Before shampoo and conditioning? Instead of shampoo?
The clay wash is used to clarify the hair and scalp, in place of a shampoo. One of the great things about using a clay wash is that it's optional to follow up with a conditioner. When used alone it can leave curls soft, shiny, and nicely detangled. Whether you do, or do not follow up with a conditioner is a preference. See how your curls feel afterward.

When and how often should you use the clay wash?
Use it to clarify your hair and scalp, when hair feels dirty, heavy and weighed down with build-up and the scalp feels the same and is flaky. This can be used every 3-4 weeks, to give yourself a break from gentle shampoos, in place of harsher sulfate-based clarifiers.

How much of the formula do I use to wash my hair?
Depending on your hair needs and length, you will use an average of 2-3 tablespoons of clay formula for each wash.

Is it suitable for use on colour-treated hair?
Clay containing products are not usually recommended for colour-treated hair since the absorption may remove chemical treatments. We recommend patch testing before use.

What is the detox period?
A consideration when transitioning to natural haircare products is the use of silicones and sulfates in many commercial haircare brands. Silicone and other artificial substances coat the hair much like plastic to give it slip and shine. If you have been using commercial shampoos or conditioners containing silicones, sulfates and other harsh chemicals for a long time, your hair will benefit from a detox. The absence of harsh detergents and chemicals combined with the goodness of natural clay means that after three months of regular use, you should find that your curls will feel naturally softer after a clay wash.

Your curls will be left as soft as a flower petal with Flora & Curl's Nourish Me Flower Garden Hair Styling Butter. This blend of shea butter and hair-happy oils promote shine and definition while sealing in moisture. There's no water in this product, so a little goes a long way!

CW says... This product was voted 'Best Hair Butter' in the Naturally Curly Editor's Choice Awards 2018.

Directions

Sealing: After moisturising hair with the Floral Hydration Mist and/or oiling hair with the African Citrus Oil, warm a pea-sized amount of butter between your palms and distribute throughout hair from roots to ends to lock in the moisture to provide long term hydration. Can be used as the final step of the L.O.C method.

Twirling: Apply as above, then scrunch to create curls, or twirl strands between your fingers to create curls. Allow to air dry.

Twisting/Braiding: Apply to twist outs, braid outs, corn rows and protective styles to add shine and definition.

For a no-rinse deep conditioning treatment: Apply to clean and damp hair, with a focus on your ends as the driest. Cover hair with a shower cap. Apply heat if desired to improve penetration. Leave in to restore moisture, shine to dull and dry hair during the week.

Best used on damp hair, after application of the Floral Hydration Hair Mist to provide an additional layer to help seal in the water/hydration applied.

If it melts (during warm weather and seasons), store it in the fridge.

CW says... See the Directions tab for suggestions on how to use this beautiful hair oil.

Directions

Instantly Add Shine and Reduce Frizz: Apply a few drops, and warm oil between your palms and apply unto clean wet or dry hair to seal ends and add shine. Use on finished style to add shine and softness.

Therapeutic Scalp Massage: To absorb all the active benefits in the oil, apply oil starting from the scalp (take a deep breath while breathing in the therapeutic aroma, that will calm your nerves, and relieve stress) massage into hair/scalp to stimulate the hair follicles. Cover hair with plastic cap. Let sit for 30 minutes or overnight.

Bonus Tips: Use as a pre-poo treatment by applying it to sections of your hair. Place a shower cap for 30 minutes then proceed to shampoo. Prep-poo is an extra step in wash day to protect your natural oils against moisture loss, breakage and the stripping effect during the shampoo process. You can also add a few drops to your favorite shampoo or deep conditioner to impart extra softness, moisture, and promote healthier hair.

Sun / Sea / Water Protection: Generously apply oil to hair to coat the hair shaft. Twist hair up in individual sections and you are good to go!
