Meet Laiba from London, UK! This curlie decided to make a huge decision at 13 (that I think most of us wish we had made). She put down the straighteners and decided that enough was enough!

The Journey

What inspired you to return natural?

Hello, I am Laiba and I live in London. I started my curly hair journey when I realised how damaging heat was on my curls, so I wanted to try and avoid using heat on my hair. This meant no straightening and leaving it be, naturally.

I was 13 years old at the time and I never knew about curl creams, gels and all of the other curly hair products. My hair was really dry and frizzy (like, really bad). One day I was scrolling through TikTok and come across a DIY deep conditioning treatment that had avocado, banana and honey in it. I started creating this deep conditioner and used it for at least 5 weeks, but then I get fed up with the hassle of keep having to make it. I then decided to look into the curly hair products on the market and TikTok helped with that as I followed a load of curly girls and guys and watched their routines. 

One day I found a girl called Alyssa on the platform and noticed that she promoted Flora & Curl a lot. I was curious about the brand and clicked through to the website. And it all seemed so interesting. I bought a couple of products from Flora & Curl and my frizz went and I had such beautiful definition and curl clumps—with no stringy curls at all! I am so grateful for this brand and Alyssa!

What were the challenges (if any) along the way of your healthy hair journey?

The main challenge was finding a brand and products that would be good for my hair. I am only 14 years old now and I started when I was 13, so I didn't want to spend too much money. Luckily I went for these great quality products at a lower price.

What is your number 1 curl tip?

My number one curl tip would be to wear a silk bonnet or have a silk pillowcase to protect your curls overnight. It prevents frizz in the morning and keeps your curls looking defined and beautiful. Protecting curls overnight is such a time saver! 

Discovering Flora & Curl

What made you buy Flora & Curl products? How did you hear about us?

I heard about Flora & Curl through @Alyssarxs who is a curly hair influencer on Instagram. She is truly amazing and gives so much information!

How did you see your hair change after using Flora & Curl products?

My curls are more defined and I now have less frizz. I have also seen hair growth—especially my baby hairs.

Which Flora & Curl product is your favourite and why?

The whole Soothe Me set because it has really helped with itchiness on the scalp and dandruff.

What is your current Flora & Curl haircare routine?

The Coconut Mint Scalp Refresh Pre-Shampoo OilCoconut Mint Scalp Refresh ShampooCoconut Mint Curl Refresh Conditioner and the Coconut Mint Scalp Refresh Mist for scalp relief. I then add the Rose Water Detangling Lotion and continue to detangle my hair with the Sweet Hibiscus Curl Activating Lotion. After this, to add more definition I use the Sweet Hibiscus Curl Defining Gel and brush style with a Denman Brush. After this I add the Citrus Superfruit Radiance Oil to my hair, diffuse and the scrunch out the crunch.

What sets Flora & Curl apart from other brands/products on the market? 

The scalp care line. Literally, no other brands have this routine and it's amazing and such a life-saver.
