Between the blazing heat and surprise rain showers, Trinidad’s tropical weather doesn’t play when it comes to natural hair. But guess what? Your curls don’t have to suffer. Since being here, I’ve been putting my products to the test—and they’re doing exactly what I made them to do: protect, hydrate, and hold.
Let me show you how I weather-proof my hair naturally, using just a few key steps.
⸻
1. Cleanse Gently, Not Harshly
Forget drying shampoos. I use my Co-Wash ~ Nourishing Cleanser, which gives me a fresh, clean scalp without stripping my natural oils. This is crucial when you’re battling both salt in the air and sweat from the sun.
Key Benefit: A clean foundation helps your moisture routine actually stick.

2. Deep Hydration Is Not Optional
Humidity doesn’t mean your hair is moisturized—it often means it’s confused. That’s why I lock in hydration with my Nutty Butta ~ Deeply Nourishing Leave-In. It melts right into my strands, softens my curls, and prepares my hair for styling or protective looks.
Pro Tip: I apply it section by section on damp hair, then detangle with my fingers or a brush.

3. Style with Protection in Mind
Here’s the secret weapon: Coco Jelly Curls™. It’s my lightweight, coconut-inspired soft gel that defines without crunch. Perfect for humid climates! No flaking, no mildew, just shiny, bouncy curls.
Bonus: It holds well even after beach or rain exposure.

4. Scalp Care Is Still Queen
Three times a week, I oil my scalp with my Handcrafted Growth Elixir. It’s packed with nourishing oils that feed your follicles, soothe itching, and help prevent buildup—especially important when wearing protective styles in the heat.

The Results?
Soft curls, a happy scalp, and no frizz tantrums—even in Trinidad’s unpredictable weather.
You don’t need a suitcase full of products. You just need the right ones. And I’ve got you.

Final Tip:
Stay consistent. Moisturize every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Protect your hair at night. And drink your water—it all adds up!
