Our Ingredients Philosophy for Curly Hair Products
Our Ingredient philosophy is: use what works best for you! Every curl and every person is an individual, and different curly hair products and ingredients will work for different people/curls.
Every time we look into this topic it seems like a website or blogger has decided a particular ingredient shouldn’t be used on curls. A lot of the times the decision is based on their particular experience, individual curl pattern, and excessive use of a particular ingredient. We don’t totally agree with saying a flat out NO to any particular ingredient as long as it isn’t a harmful one.
As a trusted curly hair hair salon, integrity is always at the top of our list. Many times after talking with a curly girl about her style, our recommendation for a curly hair styling product is something she never considered to achieve her desired look. It is all about moderation and, of course, ingredient quality is also very important.
- Silicone: Yes a silicone will be greasy and flatten curls if you use it too much, but water soluble silicones can be a game changer for some who need expansion control.
- Hair Spray: Some curly girls do need hairspray to hold their hair. With the right hairspray product, the alcohol is actually not damaging to their hair – instead, it creates control and helps them achieve their desired look.
- Oil: Don’t say no to an oil – they can be excellent cast breakers that adds shine and softens coarse expansive curls.
Find the Right Curly Hair Styling Products
Part of our job as stylists is to find solutions for your curls and goals. Your curl pattern is your curl pattern, but you can adjust the curly hair products that you use to help change how your finished style looks. Talk with a professional stylist, stay open minded, and try something new.
