Introducing new Volume Recipes

The best volumizing products for curly hair have arrived in the form of a whole new recipe; Curlsmith has heard your concerns and come through with a six-piece collection. Regardless of your curl pattern or texture, lack of volume can be a concern. Over time, air pollution and chemical processes can disrupt our cuticle equilibrium, making hair often thinner and tired-looking. 


That's where the new Volume Recipes comes in based on a unique plant-based stem cell extract that includes olive stem cells and linden buds that help nourish the cortex to plump each strand from the inside out.


Our collection offers a variety of products to curate the perfect volumising wash day routine. It's essential to use the cleanser, conditioner, and leave-in as a trio to experience the full effects, such as increased volume by 153%. However, you are free to intermix and cocktail the stylers to meet your personalized needs. 

Starting with our Full Body volumizing cleanser, join me on this journey to learn more about our new collection.


Step 1- Wash

This gentle yet effective sulphate-free cleanser is the first step in your volumising wash day routine. It gently removes dirt and build-up without stripping the hair of its natural oils. This volumising cleanser transforms dull, lifeless hair into plump, bouncy curls. 

Key ingredients include;

  • .Plant-based Stem Cell Complex- Known to nourish the hair cortex, plumping from the inside out thanks to its blend of olive stem cell extract and Linden buds for fuller, thicker hair
  • Calendula Flower- packed with B vitamins, vital minerals, and antioxidants and is known to stimulate hair follicles. 
  • Arnica Montana- known to provide nourishment for the scalp
  • Scots Pine Bud- known to possess antioxidant properties.

For the best result during the cleansing process, apply a dollop of product to your palms and work it into your scalp to break down the dirt and build-up.

A top tip for cleansing is to always shampoo twice, as this will ensure a thorough cleanse.

 

Step 2- Condition

A conditioner's primary function is to moisturise, nourish, and smooth the hair cuticle. Our Full Body Milk Conditioner excels in these tasks while offering the added benefit of providing lasting volume for up to 72 hours. This nourishing rinse-out conditioner effortlessly melts onto your strands, improving manageability and nourishment. Its smooth texture facilitates easy detangling, making the conditioning process seamless. 

The key ingredients include;

  • Plant-based Stem Cell Complex- Known to nourish the hair cortex, plumping from the inside out thanks to its olive stem cell extract blend and Linden buds for fuller, thicker hair.
  • Calendula Flower: packed with B vitamins, vital minerals, and antioxidants and is known to stimulate hair follicles.
  • Ivy Leaf: known to be a moisturising agent
  • White Nettle: known for its soothing and antioxidant properties.

 

After thoroughly working the product through and detangling in sections, allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

 

Step 3- Moisturize

The final product in the trio is our Hydrate & Plump Leave -in. Applying a leave-in conditioner is often a controversial talking point for those seeking volume or with fine hair. However, when it comes to our volume range to receive the full benefits of increasing volume in your hair by up to 153%, using the Hydrate & Plump leave-in is crucial. Furthermore, incorporating a leave-in conditioner is strongly advised, especially for curly hair, which tends to be naturally dry. Moisturizing and priming your locks before styling contributes to the appearance of healthy curls.

The key ingredients include;

  • Jojoba Oil: rich in vitamins and minerals, and shown to help nourish and moisturize the hair.
  • Ivy Leaf: known to be a moisturizing agent
  • Watercress: Has been shown to help increase hair thickness

 

When applying a leave-in conditioner, the mantra is "less is more." Simply ensure even distribution by working it through your hair in sections. There's no need to overload your hair; a small amount applied throughout will suffice.

When selecting a styler, you are spoilt for choice with the Volume recipe, as you have a choice of three: Uplifting Root Boost spray, Full Body Volumizing Lotion, and Invincible Volume Mousse.
