I feel most confident in my natural hair when ______. We invited our community to a in-person group discussion and chatted about all things wavy hair. Our main mission with the Mango Jelly Wave Cream was for you to feel good and comfortable in your natural textured hair 💚

As Vata season deepens, focus on protecting your reserves. More warmth, nourishment, softness and intentional slowness. Harmonize your mind, body and spirit this month of October according to Ayurveda🪷

“Design isn’t life or death - it’s meant to be fun” - a sentence I repeat over and over again. It took me a while to realise that I didn’t have to stick to an uncreative routine for a creative job, but now that I’m here there’s no looking back!

The most important thing you can do to build your healthiest hair? Treat the root cause, not just the symptom. Just like the rest of your body, your scalp and hair needs change and evolve, so really listen to what they’re saying 🪷

Most formulas start with a brief. Mango Jelly Wave Cream started with two heads of hair, and a long list of complaints 🙇‍♀️

Chrissy’s: fine, loose curls that heavy creams flatten almost instantly.

Kiku’s: waves that are tighter underneath, looser on top and somehow always frizzy in between.

And because Chrissy isn’t just our longtime chemist, but also needed a solution herself, she understood the assignment personally.

We knew what we didn’t want before we knew exactly what we did: no heavy cream, no crunchy gel, no stiff, sticky, coated feeling.

So we spent two years creating the juicy little middle ground we both needed: moisture with movement, definition with softness, and hold that still lets your hair feel like hair.

Every one of our formulas starts this way: with a real need, a very specific POV, and finding a gap to fill 💚
