Playa Haircare for Curlies

It’s rare to find a single brand so perfect that you use all of their products in your daily routine- whether it’s one makeup brand, one fashion brand or a haircare brand. But when it comes to Playa haircare, we were floored to discover that every product is a hit, and using them in conjunction is chef’s kiss for a girl with wavy or curly hair. Let me walk you through my routine:

The Every Day Shampoo and Supernatural Conditioner

Formulated for moisture-protein balance in mind, this shampoo and conditioner have the perfect ingredients to hydrate thirsty curls and provide enough structure for tighter waves. The Every Day shampoo has a jelly consistency, leaving you with a clean but hydrated feeling after washing. It smells like a deliciously fruity floral scent, and is formulated with coconut water and sugar beet extract, two hydrating but light ingredients that promote a clean and voluminous root. Finishing off with the Supernatural conditioner is the secret for bouncy, weightless hair and tighter curls and waves. This conditioner is protein-rich due to the Baobab protein which helps to rebuild strands and create a tighter bond between broken or damaged pieces. I usually apply this conditioner to the ends of my hair and leave it while doing anything else I need to. Then, once I get back to my hair it’s unbelievably soft and magically detangled, leaving me only to brush through easily and rinse. I also find that using a dime size amount of this as a leave-in works wonders for my curls.

Healing Hair Masque

When my hair feels extra dry or I went too crazy with the hair gel last wash day, I like to use this mask to re-invigorate my strands and detoxify my scalp. I apply this just like I normally would my conditioner, while also adding a small amount on my scalp and top of my head. I let this sit for about 5 minutes and then rinse as usual. If you have especially damaged hair or color-treated hair I would recommend this product, it really is healing.

New Day Mist

This new product is one of my favorite in my arsenal- it’s extremely versatile and a must have when I go anywhere. The New Day Mist was made to assist in revitalizing second, third or fourth day waves and curls. You can also use this as a re-styler by spraying it onto the area you need to fix and then shaping it as you need- it works partly as a hairspray and provides much needed grip and mold-ability to day old strands. I also love using it as a hair perfume, the scent is heavenly, and even just misting with this before I head out for the night makes a huge difference. I also love to use this product on my wash day by spraying before I diffuse my curls, it helps them maintain their shape and provides a slightly sticky finish to hold the curls.

Soft Volume Powder

Since my curls only form halfway down the strand, it’s hard for me to maintain a lot of volume, and can sometimes lead to me looking a bit traingle-like. One of my favorite products to help with that is the soft volume powder, a powder packed with earth clay and vetiver root to help soak up oils. This is a great natural alternative to using typical dry shampoos and volumizing products that leave you shrouded in a cloud of dust. This product provides so much lift and blends into the hair easily, even on my dark roots.

Ritual Oil

And last, but very not least is their genius ritual oil- a delicious scented hair oil that is perfect for creating shine and adding moisture to hair. I use this to break my gel cast once it’s completely dry and it encourages curl and creates softness without leaving an oily residue. This is my favorite hair oil I’ve ever used- from scent to the way it works on my hair and how much my hair loves it.
