Hey curl friends! 🌸 Today, I want to shine a spotlight on an OG brand that's been a staple in the natural hair community but doesn't always get the love it deserves: Kinky-Curly. This brand has been catering to our curls since 2003, and they've dropped some additions to their collection that are worth your attention.
A Quick Trip Down Memory Lane
Kinky-Curly has been a trusted name in the natural hair community, offering products that embrace and enhance our natural textures. Their commitment to using natural ingredients and delivering results without harsh chemicals has made them a favorite among curl enthusiasts.
Introducing: Stellar Strands Hydrating Deep Treatment
A while back, Kinky-Curly introduced the Stellar Strands Hydrating Deep Treatment, but it's been a bit challenging to find in stores. It's long overdue for the attention it deserves! This deep conditioner is enriched with Argan Oil and Macadamia Oil, aiming to rejuvenate and moisturize dry, brittle hair. Regular use promises improved elasticity and reduced breakage, taking your curls from status quo to stellar.
Why Stellar Strands Deserves a Spot in Your Routine
As someone with medium porosity 3b/4a curls, I'm always on the hunt for products that provide deep hydration without weighing my hair down. Stellar Strands fits the bill perfectly. The blend of Argan and Macadamia oils penetrates the hair shaft, delivering moisture where it's needed most. Plus, it's free from silicones, parabens, and other nasties, which is perfect for me since your girl prefers clean beauty products.
How to Use Stellar Strands
Incorporating this treatment into your routine is pretty straightforward. After shampooing, apply a generous amount to your hair, distribute it evenly and voila, you're set. For an extra boost, use a heat cap and let it sit for 15 minutes, or leave it on for 30 minutes without heat. Rinse thoroughly, and you've got soft, hydrated curls ➿💦.
Other Kinky-Curly Favorites
While we're on the subject, let's not forget some of Kinky-Curly's classics:
Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner: A creamy conditioner that detangles and smooths the hair cuticle, making it a must-have for wash days.
Curling Custard: This styling gel defines curls without the dreaded crunch, giving you bouncy, shiny ringlets.
Come Clean Shampoo: One of my favorites, this shampoo clarifies and leaves hair squeaky clean without harsh sulfates.
Where to Find Kinky-Curly Products
Kinky-Curly products are available on their official website and at various retailers, like Target, Whole Food, Sally Beauty and Walgreens. Availability varies, especially with the lesser known products like Stellar Strands, Perfectly Polished hair oil, and Seriously Smooth setting lotion, so it's best to check their inventory before making the trek. Better yet, order online!
Final Thoughts
In a market flooded with new brands and products, it's easy to overlook the brand that paved the way. Kinky-Curly still delivers quality products that cater to curls and coils, and their products are formulated without the unnecessary junk.
If you haven't explored their line recently, now's the perfect time to revisit and discover new favorites. Until next time, may your curls continue to pop and remain SSK-free. 💖
