The summer sun is finally here which means it’s time to start changing our wash day routines. This may include using lighter products, skipping steps you may have added during the colder months to give your hair that added bit of extra moisture, or just creating a quicker routine so you can spend more time enjoying the warm weather. Along with our 3 tips, the Flora & Curl product range is a great start for creating a quick and easy wash day routine.
TIP 1: PRE POO THE NIGHT BEFORE
Pre pooing the night before can cut wash day in half as your best oils get to work by infusing your strands while you sleep. This is one easy hair hack you can do as you don’t have to wait around on wash day for your oils to work. This effective step will prevent your hair from becoming stripped, add more moisture to your tresses and help with the detangling process. Have you used our African Citrus Superfruit Hair Oil yet? It has 10 potent plant oils that nourish split ends, tame frizzy hair, provide heat protection (great for any heated conditions), repair damaged hair while adding shine.
TIP 2: USING A MOISTURISING SHAMPOO OR CO-WASH
The idea of a quick wash day is to have our products do all the work for us, that way we don't have to do any extra steps to add moisture back into our hair. As heat can be drying on our tresses, it is a great idea to use a sulphate free shampoo that is moisturising and gives energy back to your dry curls in this summer heat. Something like our African Citrus Superfruit Shampoo will do the trick. Removing product build up, it is made without silicones or sulfates and restores the balance of the scalp, all without striping our strands.
Finding the right Co-Wash to cleanse you hair can also sometimes cut out the idea of using a conditioner afterwards. This can be used on your main wash day or as part of your mid week wash to refresh your curls.
TIP 3: HOT OILING AND CONDITIONING/DEEP CONDITIONING AT THE SAME TIME
This is a big life saver for anyone who has a limited amount of time on wash day or just wants to kill two birds with one stone. Whether sitting under a heat cap, hooded steamer or sitting in the sunshine, hot oiling and conditioning/deep conditioning will not only bring back any moisture lost from shampooing, but will also make your hair shiner, less dense, stronger and improve the overall health of your hair while the oil will deeply condition your scalp. Who said this combination can be time consuming.

Although we are seeing a change in the mainstream media with regards to celebrities, influencers and the general public challenging westernised beauty ideals, it is still hard to navigate content surrounding natural hair
Honestly tried a bunch of stuff, but nothing has worked for me as nicely as this stuff. I have 2b/3a curls, high porosity and it's very thin. If I scrunch this into my hair, my curls and volume come back, which I love. I did need to get used to the unique smell, it's not bad, just quite uncommon for a hair product (hibiscus).
Love the smell of the products, super light doesn't wear your hair down. Still figuring out how to keep the curl in my hair the whole day, but havent used these products for too long yet.
During lockdown I've taken the time to really try and find good products for my hair. The scent is quite interesting but to me it doesn't matter as it's more what it does than what it smells like.
And what it does do it define my different textured hair and also all I need to do it spritz with water for next day curls as Well!
Very good product xx
