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 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 yourcurls 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 hydratingOrganic Rose & 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 (disinfectant of water)
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 organic rose water. Learn more about water vs mist.

In the early days of Kidman's career, she boasted her naturally curly locks. As she became more pertinent in the film industry and the Hollywood scene, she seemed to have shied away from her beautiful curls. Kidman is now on a journey to bringing those curls back after years of straightening and chemically dyeing her hair.
As the cooler weather makes a move and dominates its season, our hair and scalp feel the effects of the weather too. From the drier and cooler air, we can expect seasonal hair loss and/or shedding.
Our fro’s are the crowns that we never take off. So to celebrate World Afro Day, we share with you a few tips on how to help keep your fros healthy and moisturised in all its glory.
I love that this clay is mixed with other things so you don’t have to apply any vinegar afterwards. It’s perfect for travelling, not only because ot is not a liquid, but also because ot is so easy to use and it hydrates and clarify your hair! <3 And the scent of this product is just AMAZING <3 My boyfriend loves to use it, too. He said his hair was never so beautiful before using this “magic”! :)
Just about to finish my first bottle of this and about to order another. I have fine curls and this foam is very lightweight, non sticky and has great hold too! You don’t need too much product to get bouncy full definition. It’s a staple in my curl routine!
I stopped wearing my hair curly because I couldn’t find a product that would adequately hold my curls all day without making the curls look “wet” and over styled. A friend recommended this product and it has transformed my curls to look healthy and frizz-free!
I've been struggling with finding products, but I'm really enjoying these and so is my wavy hair! Not 100% sure on the creamy shampoo but the other products are working a treat!
