How to prep your hair

Hey Babey! 

Ready to let those curls shine? Before your appointment with us, let’s make sure your hair is prepped to perfection—because it’s a dry cut, and dry hair deserves some special care. Here’s how to get those gorgeous locks ready for their big moment:

1. Clean & Clear: Start by giving your curls a fresh start! Use a clarifying shampoo either the day before or on the day of your appointment. Make sure to wash until the shampoo foams up nicely—no residue should be left behind. Skip the moisturizing shampoo this time; we want every bit of buildup gone, honey! Afterward, condition and detangle your curls to keep them knot-free and fabulous.

2. Product-Free Zone: We love our leave-ins, but today’s not the day, babey. No leave-in products, especially your beloved Cantu or SheaMoisture staples. We need your hair pure and product-free for this session.

3. Air-Dry or Diffuse: Make sure your hair is completely dry before you step into the salon—either air-dried or diffused. And remember, no ponytails! Let those curls breathe. If you need to style it, go for something loose. Sleeping? Use a loose pineapple with a scrunchie and pop on that bonnet. No twists, no tight buns, no stress—just let those curls live their best life!

Remember, this prep is key to making your hair magic happen. Got questions? Dive into our General Guidelines for all the deets.

Much love,
