We learnt that a lot of our new #floracurlfamily members had started to embrace their curls nearly a year ago during the global pandemic. It was a tough time for us all, but we are so proud and happy that you started to see the real beauty in those waves, curls and coils!
We are sure that we are seeing a lot more people joining us on our social media channels who are wanting to learn more about their curls and gain some insight on how to transition successfully and healthily. So, we have collated 5 helpful tips for transitioning just for you!
1. Shampoo with sulfate-free products like our shampoos!
Cleansing your curls with a sulfate-free shampoo is a must in any walk of a curlies journey. Sulfates are extremely drying to curls because they take out the moisture from the hair shaft. Sulfates leave curls brittle, damaged and more prone to breakage.
2. Pre-poo once a week with our Superfruit Hair Oil or the Scalp Refresh Oil
The benefits of pre-pooing are never-ending. For instance, using natural oils to nourish the scalp not only soothes and replenishes, but it also encourages hair growth and makes for a luxurious wash day. Let your curls and scalp drink from either ourAfrican Citrus Hair OilorCoconut Mint Scalp Refresh Pre-Shampoo Oil(this one is perfect for itchy, flakey and dry scalps!)
3. Clarify to remove build-up with our Clay Wash
Using ourCoconut Mint Curl Refresh Clay Washhelps rid impurities, hard water and build-up on the scalp while simultaneously pressing reset on your curls through a deep, yet gentle cleanse. Our clay wash also maintains healthy oil production from the scalp, which in turn keeps your curls healthy. Clarify your curls every3-4 weeksfor optimal scalp health.
After every washday simply apply a few plops of our oh so hydratingRose Water & Honey Leave-In Detangler. Watch those knots melt, while your curls lock in the hydration from our botanical blend of honey, rose water and oat silk (great for reducing unwanted wash day frizz too).
5. Refresh daily with a natural mist like our Jasmine Oasis Hair Mist
Our hair mist is the PERFECT companion for when you're out and about and your curls are in need of a hydration boost. Yes, water can be argued as the best hydrator, however, unlike water, ourJasmine Oasis Hair Mistdoes not contain drying elements such as:
Metal minerals
Fluorides (used in toothpaste)
Chloramines (water disinfectant)
Our hair mist hydrates those curls the way nature intended - with a carefully composed blend of jasmine oil (great for scalp health), aloe vera powder (replenishing) and rose water (true hydration). Learn more about water vs mist.

Why aren't my hair products working anymore? How come when I cleanse, there is still gunk on my scalp? And finally... where has my definition gone?! Learn how to bring it back with our Coconut Mint Curl Refresh Clay Wash!

Have you ever scratched your scalp to relieve an itch to then be greeted with a fingernail of waxy, gunky residue? Even after cleansing?! Not nice. How and why does this STILL happen? We've got the answers and solutions to help you get a squeaky clean scalp in no time.
I have fine, curly hair and it’s hard to find a product that doesn’t weigh it down. These products have been a game changer for me. It took about 2 times to figure out how much product (cream and gel) I needed to use, but once I figured it out, my hair was amazing!! I was able to use just the spray alone to refresh my hair 4 days in a row, which I never have been able to do! The shampoo and conditioner also really helped my dry, bleached hair become soft and not so tangled! I am in love with these products!
soft shiny curls that lasted a mosh-pit with no problem!
Love this. It feels light, didn’t notice a smell (and I have a problem with most scented things), lasted well and doesn’t feel like I’ve got anything in my hair - unlike most other products I’ve tried
I am really impressed by these products. I have always thought my hair was wavy-ish, but with these products, I have found my inner mermaid. My waves are defined and finally there's no frizz haunting my crown. Excellent products- there's no crunch or stickiness. My hair is super soft and lasts to the next day and beyond. Recommended to my Mum who also loves the kit, especially the refresh mist- and we never like the same curl products!
I used this with the matching conditioner and my experience was kind of dominated by how much I disliked the conditioner. The shampoo was but I wasn’t wowed by it. The fragrance was not strong. I won’t be getting this line again but I will try the citrus shampoo still. I love the Flora and Curl gel so much that I think it’s maybe just this particular product line that doesn’t work for me, not the brand.
