Step by step · 6 steps

The six steps of the Rituel Texture®

Each step has its own technique and its own product. Follow them in order, every 7 to 10 days: it is this sequence that keeps hair moisturised from one wash to the next.

  1. 1

    On dry hair · With your fingers

    Chadian finger detangling

    Inspired by a technique passed on by a Chadian woman met in Senegal.

    On dry hair, divide the hair into 6 to 8 sections. Smooth each strand from root to ends with the flat of your thumb, then form loose twists: the fibre is ready to receive the treatment, without breakage.

  2. 2

    Cleansing

    The Hydrating Detox

    Purify coily hair while preserving its moisture.

    Apply Le Shampoing Réparateur section by section, focusing on the scalp. Work it down the lengths, then rinse while squeezing the twists.

  3. 3

    Deep treatment

    The repairing massage

    Deeply nourish and lastingly soften the fibre.

    On towel-dried hair, apply Le Masque Réparateur, starting with the ends. Massage each strand to help the treatment penetrate and leave on for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Horn comb

    Gentle detangling

    Inspired by the techniques passed down by Man Dol’.

    While the mask is on, detangle with the natural horn Peigne de Man Dol’. Start at the ends, work your way up gradually without ever forcing, then rinse carefully.

  5. 5

    Controlled heat

    Protective drying

    Preserve softness, suppleness and moisture while drying.

    Apply La Crème Coiffante, then dry in 4 to 6 cm sections, focusing on the roots to soften the fibre. You can also let your hair air-dry.

  6. 6

    Final step

    Moisturising and sealing

    Deeply moisturise, then lock that moisture in.

    Apply La Crème Coiffante generously all over the hair, detangle and make a braid. Leave for anywhere from 10 minutes to overnight, then style as you wish.
