Formulation Breakdown

Examining the product base is the key to assessing its theme and desired results.

Bounce Curl Clarifying Shampoo is structured with isethionate surfactants blended with non-ionic decyl glucoside and amphoteric disodium cocoamphodiacetate.

All four ingredients are known for their mildness and gentle cleansing effect without stripping off natural hair oils.

The product provides effective cleansing, solubilizes excess sebum, and removes product residue from the hair shaft as well as the scalp surface.

The product also contains a series of natural emollients that are added and are known to nourish the scalp and may provide hair with a natural sheen, lubricity, and detangling.

Instead of using man-made fragrance, the product contains naturally derived aromatic scent imparting a unique soft natural aroma.

When To Use The Clarifying Shampoo

Our clarifying shampoo is gentle enough to use on a weekly basis. This helps to remove product build-up, dirt particles, and excess sebum.

How To Use It

1. Apply a small quantity of shampoo on wet hair.
2. Use your fingers to massage the scalp, working diligently but gently until all areas of the scalp have been reached. Don't forget to shampoo your hair!
3. Work it out to form a creamy lather.
4. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Apply your regular moisturizing leave-in conditioner or your favorite styling products.

Pure Silk Moisturizing Shampoo

INCI list: Water, Decyl Glucoside, Hybrid Safflower Oil, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, Glycerin, Propanediol, Pogostemon Cablin Oil, Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Polyquaternium-10, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Vanillin, **Hydrolyzed Quinoa, Biotin, Nigella Sativa (Virgin Black Cumin) Oil, *Euterpe Olecracea (Olive Oil) Fruit Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Hydrolyzed Adansonia Digitata (Baobab) Seed Protein, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Morinda Citrifolia Extract, Sodium Laurylglucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Boswellia Carterii Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Seed Oil, Garcinia Mangostana Fruit Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Geranium Maculatum Oil, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Seed Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, **Citric Acid. Essential Oil Blend (Scent).

Formulation Breakdown

Pure Silk Moisturizing Shampoo is a premium-grade formulation that provides a little more moisture than the Gentle Clarifying Shampoo.

The formulation utilizes naturally derived sugar-based biodegradable Decyl Glucoside surfactant as a cleansing base. This ensures gentle cleansing without causing any damage to the hair fibers during shampooing.

The product contains hybrid safflower oil along with vegetal glycerin and corn-derived propanediol. This blend used in relatively high concentrations aims to boost moisture content to porous and dry hair.

The product also contains polyquaternium-10 which is a cellulose-derived cationic hair conditioning polymer. It detangles hair fibers, aligns the cuticles, and provides ease in wet and dry combing. This is an important component for curly hair since it helps to reduce knots and tangles while also enhancing curl definition.

The shampoo is scented with natural essential oils, rather than man-made fragrances, for a light and pleasant smell.

When To Use The Pure Silk Moisturizing Shampoo

This shampoo is gentle enough to use on a daily basis.

How To Use It

1. Apply a small quantity of Pure Silk Moisturizing Shampoo to wet hair. Note, the more water you add the more lather you will get.
2. Massage it thoroughly and gently to your scalp and hair.
3. Work it out to form a creamy lather.
4. Rinse off completely.
5. Apply your regular moisturizing leave-in conditioner or your favorite styling products.

Formulation Breakdown

Hydra Drench Cleansing Conditioner is a protein-free co-wash cleanser that can clean and condition hair simultaneously.

Sucrose Cocoate is a gentle surfactant in the hydra drench formula. 

Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine are used to provide cleansing and conditioning. Both are extremely gentle quaternary conditioning agents that also posses the ability to remove sebum and oil residue from the hair shaft.

In this formula, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine is neutralized using lactic acid. This complex helps to hydrate and condition your hair, with the added bonus of detangling and aligning your cuticles.

A characteristic feature of this product is the high concentration of Organic Aloe Vera Leaf juice, which is a potent hair and skin moisturizing agent. It aims to provide a lot of moisture to dry and damaged hair.

The formula also contains a series of organic natural plant-sourced emollients. These emollients provide slip to your hair and gives it a healthy appearance.

This product is perfect for people with curly hair who want to wash and condition their hair quickly.

Co washes are beneficial in that they may help with better curl definition, softer hair, less tangles, and less frizz.

When To Use The Hydra Drench Cleansing Conditioner

You can use the Hydra Drench cleanser two to three times a week (or on a daily basis).

How To Use It

1. Divide hair into small sections.
2. Massage conditioner into your entire scalp and hair, just like you would shampoo.
3. Rinse it out thoroughly.
