- Assess hair and scalp (type, porosity, density, scalp condition)
- Clean according to a schedule (every 5-10 days; detox if necessary)
- Condition with each shampoo (detangle with a towel; deep conditioning mask if needed)
- Treat the scalp (serum/exfoliant for itching, dandruff, buildup)
- Hydrate and seal (adjust the weight of the oil to the porosity)
- Styling with minimal damage (low heat/tension; snag-free tools)
- Protect at night and adjust according to the seasons
Quick choices: Growth (Rapid Growth Treatment), Hydration (Intense Hydration Treatment), Dandruff/Detox (Anti-Dandruff Treatment), All-in-One (The Sublime Set).
Why a routine is better than an accumulation of products
Natural hair thrives more on consistency than complexity. The right routine supports a balanced scalp, retains moisture, and reduces breakage from heat and handling. Choose a simple plan, stick to it for 6 to 12 weeks, and let your products work together.
Step 1: Understand your hair and scalp
Things to note
- Pattern and density: affects the cross-section and quantity of product
- Diameter: thin, medium or thick drill bits
- Porosity: rate of moisture absorption/loss
- Scalp: balanced, oily, dry/itchy, or with dandruff
Quick porosity test (at home)
Place a clean, product-free strand of hair in a glass of water. Floats for a long time = likely low porosity; sinks quickly = high; sinks slowly = medium. Use this to guide product textures.
Step 2: Build your shampoo day (Cleanse + Condition)
To clean
- Growth Concentrate: Freÿa Shampoo — maca root, rosemary, holy basil.
- Hydration concentrate: SHËBA Shampoo — infused with Neptune Moisturizing Oil and batana oil for softness and shine.
- Detox/prone to dandruff: Zephïr Shampoo — amla, cedar, green tea, copper tripeptides.
- Reset: Deep Detox Kit — for periodic deep cleansing.
Condition
- Strength & glide: Freÿa Revitalizing — vitamin B3, maca, saw palmetto.
- Lush hydration: SHEBÄ Revitalizer — enriched with Neptune and batana.
- Detox balance: Zephyr Revitalizing — neem, amla, ACV, tea tree, cedar.
Deep mask
Angëlia: Hair mask blends safflower, hemp, and jojoba oils for softness, shine, and easy styling. Use every 2 to 4 weeks; also excellent as a pre-shampoo shine treatment for lengths and ends.
Accessory tip: Dab with the Bamboo Ratine Turban to reduce frizz and friction after washing.
Step 3: Treat the scalp (Your growth soil)
- Exfoliate buildup and dandruff: Zïna Exfoliating Kit — AHA Liquid Exfoliant (weekly/bi-weekly) + Oil Scrub (monthly) to gently remove dead skin and impurities.
- Fortify and soothe: L'Ör: Scalp Fortifying Serum — castor oil base with plant extracts; supports comfort and growth goals.
- Anti-dandruff plan: Anti-dandruff treatment — L'Ör Serum + Angëlia Mask to help reduce dandruff and itching while you gently cleanse.
Step 4: Moisturize and seal (Adjust according to porosity)
| Porosity | Choose | Be careful |
|---|---|---|
| Weak | Light leave-in conditioners, Neptune Moisturizing Oil in small amounts, heat for absorption | Heavy butters that remain on the surface |
| Average | Balanced creams, periodic masks | Overprocessing and accumulation |
| High | Richer creams, Neptune To seal, use Gaia Post-Rinse Rinse Oil for softness/shine | The super-clarifier; skip the sealants |
Oil selection: Neptune Moisturizing Oil (made with grape seeds; excellent for ends and dry areas). Gaia Rinse Oil (sweet almond with neem and sage; use in the shower or after rinsing for softness and shine). For fragile ends, add a touch of Angëlia after washing.
Step 5: Style with less damage
- Use low heat with a heat protectant; ensure hair is completely dry before using heat tools.
- Opt for protective hairstyles with low tension; gently cleanse the scalp while styling.
- Use the Hair Ties (satin elastics) to avoid snags; dab with the Bamboo Ratine Turban .
- Night care: Satin/silk pillowcase or Cap Kit to reduce friction; for deeper penetration during treatments, use the Thermal Cap .

Common mistakes to avoid
- Skip the clarifying treatment when your hair is oily. If your hair is beady or your curls aren't defined, try a detox with Zephïr.
- Apply a generous amount of oil to the scalp to "repair" dandruff. Exfoliate first ( Zïna ), then use L'Ör .
- Heavy butters on low porosity hair. Opt for lightweight layers like Neptune and add heat.
- High tension and rough handling. Choose snag-free hair ties and dab with the bamboo turban .
- Inconsistent nighttime care. Use a satin/silk pillowcase or bonnet .

FAQ: Routine for natural hair
How often should I wash my natural hair?
The ideal frequency varies depending on your scalp type and lifestyle. Generally, every 5 to 10 days. If you have an oily scalp or are prone to dandruff, opt for more frequent washing (every 3-5 days) with Zephïr Shampoo .
What is the difference between L'Ör serum and Neptüne oil?
L' Ör Serum is formulated specifically for the scalp – it strengthens, soothes, and supports growth. Neptüne Oil is designed for the lengths of the hair – it moisturizes, seals in moisture, and protects the ends.
Can I use Gaia oil on dry hair?
Gaia Rinse Oil is ideal for use in the shower or on damp hair to seal in moisture. For dry hair, choose Neptune Oil , which is lighter and penetrates dry hair more easily.
How do I know if I need a detox treatment?
Signs you need a detox treatment: your hair feels heavy and lifeless, products no longer penetrate, water beads on the surface, or you have itching/dandruff. Use the Detox Shampoo or the Zephyr Shampoo to reset.
Can I use the Angëlia mask as a conditioner?
Yes! The Angëlia Mask can be used as an intensive conditioner or as a deep conditioning mask. As a conditioner, leave on for 3-5 minutes; as a mask, leave on for 15-30 minutes with the Thermal Cap .
