Raw hair care from a dry Highveld winter to a humid Durban summer

Raw hair has no silicone coating, so it reacts to the air around it the way natural hair does.

Dry winters in Joburg and Pretoria

Low humidity makes the ends feel dry. Deep-condition once a week, seal with a light oil and sleep on silk.

Humid summers in Durban

Humidity lifts straight hair and frizzes waves. Use a light leave-in, avoid heavy butters and refresh waves with water instead of heat.

Coastal Cape Town

Wind and salt air tangle long units. A loose braid outdoors and a wide-tooth comb before washing save a lot of shedding.

All year

Wash with a sulphate-free shampoo, never brush wet hair from the root, and keep heat below 180 °C.
