TIP OF THE MONTH,
SUMMER CARE TIPS, 01,
AVOID OVER EXPOSURE TO REDUCE UV DAMAGE,
02,
DEEP CONDITIONER IS YOUR BEST FRIEND,
03,
CLEANSE THAT SCALP,
04,
FRIZZ NO MORE,
I know, I know… as soon as the sun comes out, we want to get melanin out. But remember that UV rays can damage your hair just as much as your skin. By avoiding direct sunlight with a hat or headscarf, you’ll help to minimise the damage. Or even better, get an easy protective style like box braids.
With warmer weather comes the chance of loosing moisture from your hair. Don’t worry we’ve got your back. Our conditioner and oils are perfectly formulated to moisturise your curls and lock in the moisture.
Reduce the build up of sweat and other nasties on your scalp by using a cleansing shampoo to revive your scalp. Our shampoos are all sulphate free, 100% natural and organic, so your scalp will be blessed with the best!
Although difficult to always avoid, try to reduce frizz caused by humidity by styling with a protective style. The easiest solution are low maintenance protective styles like braids or top buns, tucking your natural hair away and keeping frizz at bay.

The tv show ‘Self Made’ details the often untold story of Madame C.J. Walker through a fictional retelling mini series. The series follows her story as

she overcomes hostility and discrimination in 20th century America, whilst building what was soon to be her hair care empire. As America’s first self made female millionaire, Mrs Walker reigns a huge inspiration to Curls + Fros and we want to celebrate her incredible story by sharing her importance with you. Take some time and check out the mini series, staring the one and only Octavia Spencer as Mrs Walker (you can’t get better casting than Octavia right?). We loved the series and hope that it inspire’s other young black women such as our CEO to feel empowered and start pursuing their dreams and build an empire of their own. | 17
Here’s to Madame C.J. Walker and all of the other powerful and determined black women who paved the way to provide us with greater visibility and representation. Here’s to the future generation who will continue this narrative and continue to tell the world that black women can no longer be ignored.
