With her gorgeous thick coily hair, she embarks on a transformative experience, ready to embrace and celebrate her natural hair. Discover Jacque's insightful learnings and be inspired by her remarkable journey with Lusid hair.
Day 1
Day 1- The Unboxing
It's day 1 of Jacque's Lusid Hair Journey. We are excitied to share Jacque's unboxing of her Lusid Hair treats. Jacque has thick coily hair. To commence her Lusid Hair journey we have started with selecting the right hair care products for Jacque's hair structure.
This sulfate free bar has a rich creamy lather and does not crumble when wet like handmade bars. Created for those with this coils in mind but also works well for those with curls that are long and plentiful as these hair structures are fragile and need the extra hydration boost as it can be a challenge for the natural scalp oils to travel from roots down the hair shaft.
This conditioner bars has the superpower of Cocoa Butter which hydrates, adds shine, reduces frizz and strengthens your hair. We recommend co-washing (wash with just conditioner) frequently to feed thirsty hair that just needs that extra drink of moisture.
We recycle unused aluminum tins and use them to store Lusid bars to keep them away from moisture between use. One Lusid bar will last approximately 130 washes if stored correctly. As these products are made with organic ingredients it's important to dry them out to prevent spoilage (like food, organic products can grow mold in moisture, so dry them out for longevity of the bar)
4) Lusid Curl Defining Creme Gel
This Curl Creme Gel is a unique 2 in 1 product which hydrates a curl (creme component) and casts a curl (gel component) without a crunch or a flake. We recommend using the Curl Defining Creme Gel in the tin if you have coils or long and plentiful curls for a strong hold. Our Defining Creme Gel in a bottle format is the same recipe with less organic flaxseed which is more suitable for finer curls as it will not weigh them down. It's important to use styling products in moderation to avoid weighing down your hair, causing product buildup, making your hair greasy and reducing the effectiveness of the product.
Day 1. Jacque tries out the Lusid Curl Defining Creme Gel for the first time.
Take care when opening your Lusid Lusid Curl Defining Creme Gel tin as it can easily spill out if opened on an angle due to the jelly consistency. Make sure you apply to wet hair. This makes it easier to manipulate the hair and easier to distribute the product evenly throughout your hair. The water will help to activate the product allowing to penetrate into the hair shaft and lock in the moisture. It will also reduce frizz and flyaways and will smooth out the cuticules to allow for a smoother, shinier appearance.
Jacque has low porisity hair which means that the hair cuticule are tightly closed making it difficult for moisture to penetrate the hair shaft. Washing with warm water will help to open the hair cuticles. Warm water will help to stimulate the blood flow to the scalp which will help with hair growth. Jacque can be generous with styling products due to her low porisity hair.
We reccomend starting with a small amount of product and then adding more as you need. You can always add more product easily but if you use too much it can it can make it very difficult to remove when you have too much. Too much styling products can lead to greasy, limp and weight down hair. Excessive use of styling product can let to build up on hair and scalp which can clog hair folicoles that can lead to irritation and dandruff.
If you have finer hair you can use our Lusid Curl Defining Creme Gel in the bottle. It has the samer recipe with less a lower dosage of organic flaxseed making this light weight product to not weigh down strands. Start with a pea sized about of product.
For thicker coils and curls use the Lusid Curl Defining Creme Gel in the tin as the additional organic flaxseed wil give a stronger hold. Start with a 50 cent coin size amount and apply more as required.
