Products Containing Protein

Curlsmith's Hair Makeup is exactly what it sounds like - it's temporary "makeup" for your hair! Use Hair Makeup in place of your regular gel to add colour, definition, and hold to your waves or curls. It provides vibrant colour that rinses out in one wash!

CW says... Curlsmith's Hair Makeup doesn't transfer once dry but application can sometimes be a bit messy. Protect your clothes and towels!

Directions

Protect clothes with a towel during application. Apply on damp, detangled hair. Use a leave-in conditioner before the color to keep curls hydrated. Divide the hair in sections. Rake a generous amount through each section, then scrunch to help curls spring back. Air dry or diffuse, then scrunch again to break the cast. For a more intense pop, add a little more product once the colored hair dries.

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed helps promote healthy hair while adding shine and moisture to dry, brittle curls and waves. Don't Shrink Flaxseed Elongating Curling Gel will give your curls or coils the bounce you want without the shrinkage.

CW says... For elongating effect, rake through hair rather than scrunching and apply less than you expect.

Directions

A small amount can be used on clean, dry hair, but this gel works best when used on clean, wet or damp hair. Apply more for tighter curls and less for elongated curls.

Directions

Pre-biotics feed the "good bacteria" that form the protective barrier on your skin. This is called the microbiome. Curlsmith's Super Slip Pre-Biotic Primer is a pre-shampoo treatment to strengthen this barrier and prepare it for washing. 

This product won an award in the Naturally Curly Best of the Best Leaders in Curl Awards 2020!

CW says... This is the first step in the Curlsmith Scalp Transformation System. Apply as a base and then, without rinsing, apply the Curlsmith Wash & Scrub Detox Pro-Biotic on top.

Directions

Wet your hair thoroughly and apply the product directly onto the scalp before your shampoo, gently massaging it in. While the pre-biotics are working, make your way down the hair lengths, finger detangling until you get rid of all the knots. Leave on for 1 minute. Apply the Curlsmith Wash & Scrub Detox Pro-Biotic, directly on top of the primer, without rinsing. The Pre-Biotic Primer will nourish and protect your scalp while the Pro-Biotic Scrub clarifies it.
