A Beginners Guide to CurlyEllie

Time is a finite commodity so understandably we tend to focus on pursuits with measurable outcomes. However, now more than ever with a surge in burn-outs and our homes becoming offices it is essential to take time off to relax. As frivolous as Me-Time may seem it is quite indispensable to our mental health.

At CurlyEllie we aim to take the hustle out of curly hair care with our nutritious custom crafted plant based collection so that you can relax through your wash days not stressing about having enough protein or moisture or using products that are potentially harmful for your family or the environment.

Nourish
Grab either the Intensive Mask or the Nourishing Conditioner and spread generously through hair, detangle with your brush then coverup with shower cup, capitalise on that steam for better penetration into your hair shaft. Use the next 10 mins to shave, give your self a facial mask or a body scrub. Rinse of hair then cover up with curl towel as you wash off your body.

Hydrate
After stepping out of the shower transfer your curl towel unto your shoulders. If your body wash took too long and your hair is drying up no worries at all, spritz curls with The Detangling Spray and follow up with The Curl Defining Leave in Conditioner, distribute through curls with your fingers or use a detangling brush and scrunch.
