Meet Diksha from the UAE! She is sharing how she went from "hating" her hair due to the frizz and rough texture, to now loving and looking after her curls with only the best products and clean regimens for healthy, hydrated hair!
The Journey
What inspired you to return natural?
I reside in the UAE and was introduced to CGM in December, 2018. It all happened when I had started hating my hair due to their frizzy and rough texture. I was all about using products which contained silicones and sulphates. I didn't even have a slight idea about leave-ins, curl creams, hair gels, hair mousses, etc. My curljourney started after coming across various curly hair bloggers. Their knowledge really helped me grow in this journey. Learning new techniques, seeing them try new products, everything was so new to me then. It has been a long journey. I have introduced so many of my curl friends to CGM and I am so proud of that.
After trying so many brands, after so much trial and error, I can finally say that I have found a brand which has helped me fix my curly haired problems. Deep conditioning with the F&C Rose Water & Honey Cream Conditioner with a heat cap, herbal tea rinses, adding more water while using my products have literally been game changers for me in my hair journey. The fact that Flora & Curl uses so many botanical extracts and not chemicals in their products makes me feel amazing.
What were the challenges (if any) along the way of your healthy hair journey?
The main challenge that I faced was the availability of products. None of the brands were available so it was hard to work with the same products. There was a time when I was feeling frustrated as I could only find 1 or 2 products in the market. Ordering products from USA or UK were costing a bomb so I stuck to using the same products but adopted different techniques.
What is your number 1 curl tip?
Emulsify the products in your palms before applying them to your hair. It saves a great deal of product and also saves the trouble of having weighed down hair.
Discovering Flora & Curl
What made you buy Flora & Curl products? How did you hear about us?
I found out about Flora & Curl through @Honestlizhere. My first order with Flora & Curl was in 2019. I've been hooked on to the brand since then! It's my holy grail and has given me consistent results almost every wash day.
How did you see your hair change after using Flora & Curl products?
My hair felt like they had a perfect balance of moisture and protein. They looked healthier and more shinier.
Which Flora & Curl product is your favourite and why?
What sets Flora & Curl apart from other brands/products on the market?
The botanical extracts.

I bought this because I wanted to try a few of the products before buying full size. They are great for my hair and my daughters’ hair and smell lovely. I’m going to buy another mini kit for my gym bag and one for holiday, as well as some other full size products.
Over the moon with these products! I bought the trial set and used it on holiday and my hair has never smelt and felt so good! The best thing is no frizz! I really like the hair mist for in between washes too.
Love these products, I bought the starter kit, just incase my hair didn't like the products. They did, my curls sprung up after the first try. Very impressed
Foam is amazing. I much prefer it to mousse. Also liking the samples of gel and cream, will be ordering full size after they finish. Only pain is the dispenser on the sample size conditioner which just doesn't work. Otherwise great!
