During your consultation we will do a wet stretch test to check on the health of your hair and what products are needed for your hair. We do this when we wet your hair, then take a few strands of hair and gently stretch them and see how well they bounce back or for breakages. This allows us to know which products you should be prescribed.

We will also consult with you on what your hair goals are, particularly if you are looking for complex colouring. 

We will take you through our process, the products and the Organic Colour Systems system.

The Curly Girl Method (CGM) is comprised of a set of rules which people follow to enhance their natural wave, curl, or coil pattern, reduce frizz, damage, breakage and dryness. In simple terms, the Curly Girl Method centres around avoiding ingredients that can negatively affect curls, adding ingredients that can hydrate, condition, repair and enhance.

The three most incremental factors that make a product Curly Girl Friendly is the exclusion of silicons, sulphates and drying alcohols.

The method revolves around a few key pillars, which drive the exclusion of those ingredients;

1) Not using ingredients that build up on the hair, or require ‘harsh’ soaps or surfactants to remove them.

This brings to mind the typical silicones that can build up on the hair, but can also include a range of other ingredients, such as waxes and mineral oils, that individuals may avoid based on the degree to which they follow this method. These are avoided as CMG does not use Sulfates to remove these products.

2) Not over cleansing the hair with traditional shampoos that can dry out or strip the hair, via surfactants such as Sulfates.

This can also include avoiding the use of surfactants that are traditionally labeled as gentle in the hair care community. The reasoning behind this difference of opinion comes from the basis that Curly Girls do not apply any products that build up on the hair, so only need very gentle cleansing to wash and refresh the hair, rather than cleansing agents that aim to remove products build up, styling agents, silicones, waxes etc.

3) Hydration, hydration, hydration!

This method praises the scalps natural oils, and focuses heavily on hydrating hair that is textured or dry inherently. This is yet another reason that drying ingredients, such as drying alcohols and cleansing agents, are strictly avoided.

Davroe remains committed to providing products that are 100% vegan, plant based and sulphate, paraben, and petrochemical free. All products offer colour protection and are low irritant making them perfect for everyone. Davroe’s vision is simple. It is to create the most honest and pure range of products for everyone by adhering to these three guiding principles.
