As we hurtle closer to summer we got to thinking, is it time to think about peeling off a few layers to see how our beautiful bodies have coped throughout the winter hibernation period? Is your skin looking less than lustrous, and you curls more flounce than bounce. Time for your everything shower.
Set the Intention
Before you get in the shower, start with a pre-wash treatment for your scalp and curls, take a few drops of the potently packed plant based Hair Oil and massage into the hair and scalp. Choose your dose depending on your hair type then spend some time to massage into the scalp and prayer hands through the lengths of your hair. When applied to dry tresses, hair oil helps protect your hair from losing too much moisture when you wash, it can help soothe the cuticle resulting in less frizz and elevating your unique curl pattern. Follow with your usual wash and styling routine for next level curls. Use can also use to scrunch out the crunch after styling.
Pre Shower Treats
While the goodness in hair oil works its magic, let's start by sloughing off the old and starting a fresh to let the moisture in. Like our curly hair products we prefer the natural approach, so start your everything shower with a dry body brush, use a soft bristled brush from the neck down, short strokes towards the heart will start to get the lymph flowing, then use short strokes downwards but back up the arms. Start this close to the underarms always up towards the heart, take to the torso in the same way you can start clockwise brushing motion, over the bum, thighs and legs again starting at the top of thighs with shorter strokes up.

Got extra time?
Think about treating your hair to a Protein Treatment after washing and conditioning your hair: apply a shot size amount all over and make a mindful moment while it works it magic (we recommend 15-30 mins). Or if you are truly committed to hair health take a long and lazy treat in the Deep Conditioning Masque, smooth and spread from hair roots to ends, or mid-length to ends, if your hair has a tendency to get weighed down. Lay back and relax for 20 mins or more, rinse to your desire, or simply leave in! You can also use this as you would a conditioner or twist into your beautiful coils and follow with your usual routine.
