With Summer right around the corner, it's that time of the year again to hit the gym and get beach ready, but what about protecting your curls?
The beauty of natural hair means our hair is very versatile. When we think of going to the gym, we automatically think of how long it took to achieve the perfect twist out, getting amazing definition and how to protect our hair while working up a sweat. But what about taking care of your curls after the gym?
There isn't much to do before the gym as you are likely to sweat around your hair line. If you plan to do a full wash day that week or co wash, then you could detangle your hair pre workout, giving you less to do during wash day.
After The Gym
Now this is the important bit. If you are working out mid week, then try opting for a co-wash (a conditioner-only wash). This will gently cleanse your curls and scalp while keeping moisture and avoiding some of the drying agents shampooing can cause.
Water rinsing or letting the steam from the shower penetrate your hair strands is also a good idea, adding moisture and lightly re-freshing the hair. After this, try adding our Flower Garden Hair Butter or African Citrus Superfruit Hair Oilto seal in the moisture.
If it's the end of the week, then a full cleansing wash day is just what the doctor ordered.
Start with our African Citrus Superfruit Shampooto gently cleanse your curls and rid them of impurities and build-up, all while revitalising and restoring its shine and vitality.
Locking in that moisture, follow up with our Flower Garden Hair Butteras a no rinse conditioning treatment. Apply and sit with a plastic cap using heat if desired to improve penetration. Leave in to restore moisture and add shine to dull and dry hair.
Next for extra moisture, you can choose to apply our Organic Rose & Honey Detangleror you can skip this step. Our leave-in detangler adds moisture, slip and shine back into the hair. Detangling and smoothing the hair strands. It is light weight so will not weigh the hair down.
Whether it be one or all products, find a sequence that works for you and suits your hair type.

I love this curl activating lotion, it's a brilliant product which makes a dramatic difference to my naturally curly hair, and it's great to be able to get it in the larger size now.
I love the combination of the curl activating lotion and defining gel. I have thick, 2c/3a waves and curls and before I started using these products I thought I was only wavy. This duo produces soft curls that are easy to refresh for a few days. The shampoo and conditioner are great, I would think for any hair types. I also love the smell of the whole line.
