How To Care For Grey Waves, Curls & Coils How To Care For Grey Waves, Curls & Coils

Hello, grey curls! Let's warmly welcome them to our spiralised strands and look after them. Although many people think that going grey is all doom and gloom, is it really as bad as we think it is? Some people cover their greys whilst other's embrace them - whatever your preference, it is still important to look after them (and it's not all doom and gloom, it's natural).

What is grey hair?

We call it grey, silver or even white - but did you know that grey hair is in fact clear hair?! This is because 'grey' hair has no pigment & does not produce melanin in the cortex of the hair shaft. 

Why is grey hair so fragile?

Due to the lack of pigment-making protein and melanin, grey hair is prone to much more damage from UV rays and external environmental factors. You may think that SPF is just important for skin health, but believe it or not, our curls (especially our greys) need it too! You can add a layer of protection daily to your grey curls with the help of our Citrus Superfruit Radiance Oil.

Our fortifying blend of exotic plants & fruit includes great benefits for scalp and curl health: 

  • 10+ Antioxidant-rich oils instantly seal in moisture
  • Protection from harmful UV rays and heat
  • Effective protection from harmful UV rays and heat, such as straighteners and hair dryers
  • Vitamin C-rich fruit infusion balances and purifies the scalp

Why are grey hairs so coarse?

Grey hair feels wiry, coarse and dry due to the reduced production of sebum from the hair follicles. A good stance to take to battle coarse curls is to implement a solid moisturising regimen. We suggest adding hydration by using our Hydrate Me range which includes our Rose Water Cream Shampoo , Conditioner, Rose Water Detangling Lotion and Rose Water Curl Mist. Rose water, honey, camellia & jasmine oil intensively hydrate coarse curls.

Try our hibiscus infused stylers from our Style Me Range to add strength to your curls with the help of soy and rice proteins.

We love hibiscus! Here's a few reasons why:

  • Excellently nourishes dry coils

Greys, silvers or clears - whatever you want to name them, own them! They are part of your natural journey and are streaks of wisdom, could we say? Care for your grey curls with the knowledge provided above and watch those gorgeous greys blossom! You've got this.
