Caring for natural hair - especially coily or afro hair types - means finding the right balance of hydration, definition, and long-lasting hold. That’s why we’ve created The Coily Bundle, designed to leave your coils soft, defined, and frizz-free without feeling heavy or greasy.

Follow this simple routine for your healthiest, happiest coils!

Step 1: All Curl Cleanser

Every great routine starts with a fresh, clean base. Our All Curl Cleanser is a gentle foaming shampoo that lifts away dirt, oil, and product build-up without drying out your coils.

How to Use:

Apply to wet hair.
Massage gently to create a rich lather.
Rinse thoroughly.
Repeat if necessary.

Pro Tip: If you have serious build-up, try a double cleanse. First to lift, second to refresh. Use warm water to open up your hair and get it prepped for conditioning.

Optional: alternate with the Cleansing Co Wash for extra hydration. For more information on co-washing, see here.

Step 2: All Curl Conditioner

Moisture is key for natural and afro hair, and our All Curl Conditioner is like a tall drink of water for your coils! Packed with jojoba, avocado, coconut, and macadamia oils, it deeply nourishes while making detangling easy.

How to Use:

Apply generously to freshly cleansed, wet hair.
Detangle using fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Pro Tip: Dry or knotty? Leave it on for a few extra minutes to give your hair that extra moisture boost it’s craving.

Step 3: Intense Moisture Leave-In Cream

This step is all about the moisture. Our Intense Moisture Leave-In Cream is an ultra-hydrating formula that gives coily and curly hair the moisture, softness, and definition it needs - without heaviness or grease. Perfect for bringing bounce back to tight curl patterns and keeping frizz in-check.

How to Use:

Apply to clean, soaking wet hair.
Work through in sections, focusing on ends and drier areas.
Scrunch or twist to define curls.

Pro Tip: Air dry for soft, natural curls or diffuse on low for extra volume. Pair with Intense Hold Gel for all-day moisture and hold.

Step 4: Intense Hold Defining Gel

Lock in your style with our Intense Hold Defining Gel. This strong-hold gel boosts coil shape, enhances definition, and keeps your hair looking fresh and bouncy all day - even in humidity. No crunch, just serious hold.

How to Use:

Apply as the final step in your routine.
Scrunch into wet hair to enhance curl definition and create long-lasting hold.

Pro Tip: Air dry or diffuse low for volume. Layer with Intense Moisture Leave-In Cream for extra moisture and hold.
