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.
If you can't wait to go home and start wash day, the minis in our Moisture Discovery Kit has everything you need for maximum on the go moisture looking after your hair while you focus on those workout goals.
How do you maintain you hair regime while hitting it hard at the gym?
As we all know, we can have natural and synthetic fragrances. But what are their differences and how can a fragrance determine the condition of one’s hair and well-being? Well, let us break it down for you.
With summer just around the corner and the warmer weather in full swing, we have to ask you just one question… Are you looking after your curls? If you answered “nope,” great – you’re in the right place, and if you answered “yes,” let's check up on your regimen!
Some of us here at Flora & Curl have coloured curls too! Here is our coloured-curl specific regimen that will enrich those curls, nourish those ends and revitalise those roots.
I love all flora & curl products and this one is no exception! It dries quite hard which felt scary at first, but it washed out no problem at all. My curls feel soft and lush and my scalp nice and clean with no itch! Thank you again Flora & Curl!
P.S> I don’t recommend doing this as the label does say not recommended for colour treated hair…but my hair has highlights and there was no issue at all with using this.
