Meet Kaisha, natural hair enthusiast from London, UK who had suffered from severe eczema until she made the switch to return natural with our plant-powered products.
The Journey
What inspired you to return natural?
My name is Kaisha and I'm from London. Suffering from eczema, I would only get my hair relaxed twice a year as my scalp is sensitive and would get really irritated. So when it came the time to relax my hair, I wasn't able to due to an eczema flair up. 6 months turned into 7, 7 months turned into 8, and by the time I knew it, I was pretty much transitioning. This is where my natural hair journey began. I can honestly say being 2 years fully natural, I haven't had an eczema flare up yet.
What were the challenges (if any) along the way of your healthy hair journey?
Definitely transitioning! As my natural curls grew longer, It got to a point where the two textures of my hair were really hard to manage and my hair would naturally break off at the line of demarcation. I just knew I had to get rid of those ends.Plus, I love to deep condition, and It would hurt me to deep condition my ends when I knew I was going to cut them off.
What is your number 1 curl tip?
Always clarify your hair once a month. As naturals, we can get a lot of build up, so it is always nice to reset your curls and start fresh.
Discovering Flora & Curl
What made you buy Flora &Curlproducts? How did you hear about us?
It was the packaging for me!I actually came across Flora & Curl on Instagram and was automatically drawn in my the brands patterns and colours. I also love the Flora & Curl mission of only using natural, pure and potent ingredients.
How did you see your hair change after using Flora & Curl products?
My hair has become more moisturised, shiner and softer. I am able to layer on products really well and watch my twist outs become more defined.
Which Flora & Curl product is your favourite and why?
Oooooo, that's such a hard one. I'd have to say the newSweet Hibiscus Twist & Braid Cream. It's so thick and creamy, and smells of Turkish delight too! It leaves my hair super soft, defined and moisturised.
What is your current Flora & Curl haircare routine?
What sets Flora & Curl apart from other brands/products on the market?
I love the fact that Flora & Curl is made with only natural and botanical ingredients. And their packaging is just GORGEOUS!

Meet Stefani from stunning Cyprus! Stefani is 29 years old and works as a data analyst. But when she's not working hard on her career aspirations, she's learning more about her wonderful curls! We're obsessed with this transformation.
I was really excited to try these, unfortunately I didn't like the smell of the products, or the slimy texture. Also you need A LOT of the products to get any decent results. It's a shame as I invested a lot if money in the products hoping they would give me excellent defined curls but in all honesty John Frieda Curl Mousse gives better results at a fraction of the cost, very disappointed 😞
