Your curls/ coils should be as defined as possible using a water- based curl defining product. STYLE Please arrive with your hair detoxed, conditioned, in a dry Wash and Go/ Curly Set (if you don't know what a Wash and Go/ Curly Set is, see photos). But, like the shampoo, any conditioner that doesn't contain oils, butters or silicones will work. CONDITION We recommend any conditioner by DevaCurl, Innersense or Curls. Please be sure to use a shampoo that is labeled as a "Clarifier", “Detoxifiyer” or "Chelator". This means NO, zero, zilch Shea Moisture, Cantu, Camille Rose, Pantene, As I Am or ANYTHING similar. We love Kinky Curly Come Clean a detox/ clarifier shampoo, but any detoxing/ clarifying/ chelating shampoo that doesn't contain petroleum, lanolin, oils, butters, or silicones will do (please do not use apple cider vinegar, or Trader Joe’s shampoo- they do not clarify the hair). The shampoo will be labeled “clarifying” or ‘detoxifying”.

DETOX & EXFOLIATE At least a week before your appointment, get ready to detox and clarify your hair if you use ANY products with silicones, butters, or oils in them. Start by shampooing your hair with an oil-free/ butter-free/ silicone- free clarifying shampoo. If you have any questions about this, please contact the salon.ĬURLY CUT AT-HOME REQUIRED PREPARATION: 3 steps!ġ.

Failure to have clarified and stretched hair may result in your stylist having to add on a Hair Color Prep or Hair & Curl Detox service. If you use products with heavy oils or butters and are scheduled for a Curly Cut or hair color, you should follow the directions below and arrive in a dry Wash & Go. We also ask that your hair is stretched when you arrive for your color service. Stretched could be a loose Twist- Out, stretched Wash & Go, or any other style where your hair is not compacted into a 'fro. Heavy products tend to build up on the hair and may affect the results of color service. If you use butters, oils, silicones or any type of heavy products, please detox/ exfoliate/ clarify your hair prior to your appointment using a clarifying shampoo (the shampoo will be labeled “clarifying” or “detoxifying”. If you have concerns about your hair, please complete our Curl Concern Form. Consultations are performed at the beginning at your service appointment. Please do not park in Safeway's lot or your car may be towed.Ī consultation at Diaspora is a one-on-one conversation between the stylist and yourself that’s necessary to access the current state of your hair, home care and goals.
