    CURL EDUCATION + PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE

    What products should I use for my curls?

    I only recommend water-soluble, water-based products. These prevent buildup, keep curls hydrated, and support long-term curl health and color services. Avoid heavy oils, silicones, waxes, and butters that coat the hair.

    Why are water-soluble products better?

    • Rinse out easily
    • Allow deeper moisture penetration
    • Keep curls lightweight and defined
    • Improve blonding and color results
    • Support scalp health

  • Soft shadows of leaves and branches cast on a white wall or surface, creating a delicate and artistic shadow pattern.

    BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

    How should I arrive?

    Come with:
    • Detangled hair
    • No heavy products
    • Hair in its natural texture
    Color clients: avoid deep conditioning 48 hours before.

    What’s included in a curly cut?

    • Dry curl-by-curl cut
    • Hydrating wash + conditioning
    • Curl defining with water-soluble products
    • Diffusing + optional refinements
    • Personalized curl education

    AT-HOME CARE

    How do I care for my curls between appointments?

    • Shampoo weekly
    • Condition every wash day
    • Use a moisture mask biweekly
    • Apply water first, then product
    • Use microfiber towels only
    • Protect hair nightly (pineapple, scarf, bonnet, satin pillowcase)

    EXTENSIONS + PROTECTIVE STYLES

    Yes. All extension services prioritize scalp health, clean foundation braiding, and water-soluble product use.

    How to maintain extension styles?

    • Weekly cleaning (wigs)
    • Biweekly cleaning (sew-ins)
    • Full drying of braids
    • Maintenance every 4–6 weeks
