Best Suited Hair Types

Dry, Dull, or Damaged Hair
Papaya seed oil, buriti oil, and mangosteen seed oil provide antioxidant-rich nourishment that enhances shine and elasticity.

Fine to Medium-Thickness Hair
Lightweight but nourishing oils and conditioning agents make this ideal for adding moisture and softness without build-up.

Usage Recommendation by Hair Type:

Wavy to Coily Hair (Types 2B–4C):
Use 1–2 times per week to replenish moisture, restore softness, and improve elasticity. Apply generously to clean, damp hair in sections, concentrating on the mid-lengths and ends. Leave on for 15–30 minutes, with or without heat. Rinse thoroughly. This masque provides rich hydration and light protein support without disturbing your natural curl pattern or weighing down strands.

Dry, Dull, or Frizz-Prone Hair:
Use 2–3 times weekly or as an intensive moisture treatment after environmental stress (e.g., sun, wind, or heat styling). Smooth through freshly washed, damp hair and allow to sit for up to 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Antioxidant-rich oils like papaya seed, buriti, and mangosteen help revive shine, smooth frizz, and reinforce the hair fiber from within.

Color-Treated or Chemically Processed Hair:
Use weekly to protect and fortify color-treated or chemically processed hair. Apply evenly to damp strands, focusing on porous or fragile areas. Let sit for 30–35 minutes before rinsing. The gentle, non-hardening proteins from oat and baobab help restore elasticity, resilience, and strength while maintaining vibrant color and softness.

Fine to Medium-Thickness Hair:
Use once a week or every other week to maintain hydration without buildup. Apply a moderate amount from mid-length to ends, avoiding heavy application at the roots. Leave on for 15–20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. This formula’s silky texture and weightless conditioning agents (like hemisqualane and polyquaternium-7) leave hair smooth and nourished—never flat or coated.

Our formula is thoughtfully crafted without the use of:

• Sulfates – to prevent dryness and irritation

• Silicones – for a more natural feel and no buildup

• Parabens – avoiding synthetic preservatives linked to health concerns

• Phthalates – eliminating potential endocrine disruptors

• Other Harmful Ingredients – no artificial dyes, mineral oils, or harsh alcohols

Why This Masque Works

Hydration & Moisture Balance:
Peppermint hydrosol, glycerin, and hydroxyethylcellulose work together to deliver lasting hydration while calming the scalp and improving overall moisture retention.

Botanical Oils & Shine Enhancers:
Nutrient-rich oils of papaya seed, mangosteen, buriti, and wheat germ deeply nourish the hair, boost shine, and protect strands from oxidative and environmental damage.

Protein & Strength Support:
Hydrolyzed oat and baobab proteins reinforce hair structure, improve elasticity, and reduce breakage—without stiffness or buildup, making them safe for regular use.

Slip & Manageability:
Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Cetearyl and Behenyl Alcohols, and Polyquaternium-7 help smooth the hair cuticle, enhance detangling, and minimize frizz while maintaining softness and bounce.

Scalp Refresh & Revive:
Panthenol and beet root extract soothe and hydrate the scalp while supporting stronger, more resilient hair from root to tip.

Patch Test: Always conduct a patch test before full application, especially if you have a sensitive scalp. This helps to ensure you do not have any allergic reactions to the ingredients.

Research Ingredients: Understand the specific benefits and properties of the ingredients you are using. Some natural ingredients can be potent and may have specific usage instructions, so knowledge is crucial.

Quality Matters: Be mindful of the source and quality of the products. Opting for organic and ethically sourced ingredients is preferable to ensure purity and sustainability.

Follow Guidelines: Adhere to the recommended usage guidelines, as natural products can sometimes require different application methods compared to synthetic alternatives.

Consistency and Adaptation: Maintain consistency in your routine for the best results, but also pay attention to how your hair and scalp respond. Be willing to adjust your usage as necessary.

Holistic Approach: Remember that holistic wellness is about balance. Integrate these products into a well-rounded lifestyle for optimal effects, combining them with healthy habits and self-care practices.

By taking these steps, you can effectively harness the benefits of natural hair care products while ensuring safety and promoting overall well-being.
