New Natural Hair Trend: Faux Locs 4 Summer

There is a new hot trend in the natural hair community that some non-naturals are adopting. It is the perfect hairstyle for Summer to protect your tresses from harsh sun rays and frequent pool and beach visits.

Protect it like Cici
Faux dreadlocks are a great option for transitioners who are growing out their relaxed ends. It will make you feel like you are fully natural without the journey. 



Color Crazed like Nicki
For those who go crazy for color but are afraid to try it on their natural tresses, you can bleach your locs and dye it any color you like. Or opt for pink tips like Nicki Minaj. 



Rad like Rihanna
For a radical look, live a little on the edge like RiRi and opt for a bang with a dreadlocked ponytail.


Will you try this new super cute trend for Summer?

Pre Poo Oil Treatment For Healthier Shiner Natural Hair



Pre Poo Conditioning treatments are used to condition the hair prior to shampooing. A pre poo conditioning treatment moisturizes and protects the hair follicles during the shampoo and manipulating processes. You should pre poo using an oil treatment if your hair is dry. Pre poo oil treatments are a great option for those who suffer from dry scalp. For dry scalp, the oil should be massaged into the scalp to soothe and repair while loosening the flake build up. 

1. Section Dry Hair Into 4 Sections. 


2.  Squeeze a quarter size of Kurlee Tropical Oils Blend to palm.


3. Apply to scalp and massage through hair from root to tip. 


4. Cover with plastic cap and sit under a hooded dryer for 15 minutes. 


The heat from the dryer allows the hair shaft to open up and the oil treatment to enter penetrating the cuticle. 

5. Then rinse with Almond & Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo to cleanse the hair without stripping of its natural oils while moisturizing and detangling. The Almond & Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo will further soften the hair to make it more manageable.  After shampooing, you can apply a leave in conditioner like Thirsty Kurls Leave-in Conditioner which is made from Hibiscus, Honey & Aloe Vera to detangle and add moisture. Depending on the look you are going for you can style with Kurl Defining Creme or Jelle Coconut Styling Gel. 



We wanted a simple twist style so we used Kurl Defining Creme to achieve these twists. Notice how the hair is frizz free and moisturized with no product build up. 




Tell Us How You Pre Poo.

Lupita gives us another reason to love her in this short film by Vogue. The multitalented Oscar Winner, Vogue Cover Girl and Lancome Ambassador demonstrates her braiding techniques while sharing a little bit about how she started braiding back in Kenya. During a summer break, Lupita learned how to braid, cornrow and twist by watching her aunt who owns a salon. 

Watch as Lupita practices her hobby on her friends with different textures and ethnicities. 

Lupita says, "For me, braiding her is an intimate thing..... Getting up close and personal and I like to do it for people I love and trust."
