Going through the Curls and Coils Edit and the Fine Hair Edit may be helpful in getting exactly what you need. It is perfectly fine to mix and match products from the different edits and is in fact encouraged in order to get the right nourishment for all the different hair textures out there.
This Edit is the perfect place for anyone with thirsty hair lacking moisture. In this collection you will find products for cleansing and conditioning the hair, as well as masques and treatments designed to add moisture to dry hair.
How Do I Know If My Hair Needs More Moisture or Protein?
Hair that is lacking moisture is often dry, brittle and breaks easily. A simple way to test exactly what it needs is by the wet stretch test! Gather about ten strands together, wet them, and give them a little stretch in opposite directions, if it doesn’t have any stretch/give, then it likely needs some moisture. If your hair stretches and doesn’t return back, and instead breaks, a protein treatment may be better suited.
We’ve gone into detail here to give you as much information as possible so you can make the right decision before purchasing.

Here, she can explain in even more detail what your hair may need.
Our products have a focus on the highest quality, ethically sourced, plant based ingredients to nourish all hair. If you are making the switch from conventional hair products, we recommend this post to learn more about the process and what to expect.
How to Get the Most of Your Products
No matter where you are in your hair journey, it’s a great idea to do a little hair detox every once in a while. If you’re making the switch over to cleaner haircare or simply need to remove excess build up from raw oils, products, hard water etc., a charcoal-based treatment can be really helpful. Often that build up prevents not only the amazing nutrients in our products from actually coming into contact with your hair to provide all of its glory, but it also prevents water from getting in touch.
This is quite common and is a recipe for dehydrated split ends that lacks the necessary nourishment of healthy hair. Removing this build up will allow for optimal penetration of your shampoo, conditioner, treatment masks and styling products, leading to healthier, more manageable hair. This detox can take time, especially if you use raw oils and products with silicones, which means weeks or even months for some, however significantly speeds up the healing process by clearing the way for external nutrients.

Powerbuild Treatment
Organic Colour Systems' Powerbuild Treatment uses certified organic natural sunflower seed extract as well as extracts of lemon, apple and green tea to help add strength and volume to hair.

Detox Hair Mask
A clarifying detox treatment to remove buildup. Charcoal, Kaolin clay and Certified Organic white vinegar draw micro-particles to the surface without stripping hair of natural oils. This is an important step towards getting more nourishment to the hair and should not be underestimated. If you have a lot of build up from the regular use of styling products, raw oils and ingredients found in conventional hair products, it could be preventing nutrients and other helpful ingredients from nourishing deep into the hair. It can take some time to remove the build up, we recommend using this mask 1-2 times monthly until you get your natural hair texture back to its natural state.
Styling Products for Dry Hair

Crafted with a perfect blend of Certified Organic shea butter, rooibos tea and honey extract. Rooibos is enriched with minerals like calcium, copper, potassium and zinc, this powerhouse plant promotes hair growth and strengthens hair at the root. Allegedly, its high levels of copper may also prevent premature greying of the hair. Honey helps works a gentle styling tool to prevent frizz and fly-aways.
Harmonic Healing Oil
This rich treatment oil is nourishing for the scalp and the skin! It’s formulated with flower essences and oils, including evening primrose, macadamia and tamanu, to balance skin and scalp health and nutrition. Tamanu oil is lush with antioxidant, anti-bacterial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits. It’s also an analgesic and offers superior anti-itching benefits, which make it ideal in reducing dry, flaky scalp, dandruff and even reducing psoriasis symptoms. Tamanu oil has a mild, pleasant aroma and a luxurious feel, absorbing readily into the skin and scalp, leaving it soft and smooth. That absorbability is why we love this incredible oil; it soothes dry skin and scalp without any of that “leftover” feeling and literally vanishes into the skin.
