How a curly hair appointment works

  1. Hair diagnosis

    We check porosity, elasticity and damage to choose the right formula.
  2. Clarifying wash

    A gentle cleanse removes build-up so care can absorb.
  3. Treatment layers

    Proteins, lipids and moisture are applied in sequence.
  4. Heat or steam infusion

    Gentle heat helps the treatment penetrate.
  5. Seal & rinse

    An acidic sealer closes the cuticle for shine.
  6. Blow-dry finish

    A smooth blow-dry and tips for home care.

Keep hair healthy at home

  • Use a sulfate-free, moisturising shampoo.
  • Apply a leave-in conditioner or oil to the ends after washing.
  • Always use heat protection before irons.
  • Book a treatment every 2–4 weeks if your hair is bleached or very dry.
