Coily / Afro hair
Driest and most fragile
The problem
Coily hair is the driest and most fragile type, with the highest shrinkage. Moisture escapes fast and drying formulas damage it.
What works
Shea butter seals moisture into coarse, coily strands and softens them. It’s the standard recommendation for thick, coarse and curly hair.
What to avoid
Avoid alcohol-heavy gels and clays. Both make the dryness worse.
One honest note
The leave-in is still in production. What we sell seals in the moisture your hair already has. It doesn’t add any.
