Why the routine starts at your scalp

Sebum, sweat and styling products can build up at the roots over time. That is why every curl routine needs regular cleansing that is thorough and gentle at the same time.

Your routine

In 4 steps

Schritt 01
CLEANSE

Choose the cleanser that fits your routine.
Liquid shampoo: for a classic, fuss free wash. Apply to a wet scalp, massage gently with your fingertips and rinse thoroughly.
Solid shampoo: the compact, plastic free alternative. Lather it directly on wet hair or between your hands, work it through your scalp and rinse thoroughly.

And what about porosity?

Porosity is mostly about how your hair fibre takes in moisture and holds on to it, not about your scalp type. With low porosity, products can build up on your hair more quickly. That makes regular, thorough cleansing and careful dosing of your care products especially important.

FAQ

Common questions

Liquid or solid?

Both cleanse thoroughly. Liquid is easier to dose, solid comes with less packaging and is handy for travelling.

Do I need to wash the lengths too?

No. Focus on your scalp. The lengths get cleansed as you rinse.

How often should I cleanse my scalp?

Often enough that sebum and styling products do not build up at the roots. With low porosity, rather more often.

Do you know your porosity?

Your curl pattern is not the only thing that decides your care routine. Just as important is how your hair takes in moisture and products, and how well it holds on to them.
