“... when the morning rolls around, life is crazy trying to get three kids ready for school, am I right?”

- Sia

Um. yes! We hear you, Sia! There is always something that makes morning feel like a wild and crazy race against the clock, and the last thing anybody wants is to get a tardy slip or rush in late to that important meeting. Watch as Sia shows us how to manage the chaos with night curl prep, overnight curl protection and quick morning refreshes that lead to a smoother exercise in getting out the freakin’ door for all of the curly crowns in the family!


Sia’s Quick Tips for Curly Moms:

  • At night reach for the Aloe Vera Curl Primer and apply it to washed and conditioned hair. It decreases detangling time, because no one has time to wrestle with curls in the morning, unless you’re a fan of having your kids miss the bus lol.
  • Protect curls overnight by having all of the curlies sleep on 100% Satin Pillowcases. This reduces frizz and the amount of time needed to fight frizz in the morning. You need every minute you have to make sure lunches, book bags and water bottles are ready to go!
  • In the morning, simply refresh with water and the ReFlex Curl Styling Serum to breathe new life back into curls from the littlest toddler right up to mama’s curls.

House full of coils? You need to know these routines!


“With 5 kids, busy mornings are no joke, so anything that makes hair day easier is a win for me. “

-Katherine

Whether you have 1 kiddo or 5 like Katherine, we’re pretty sure someone hits the fast forward button on busy mornings, so we’re here to save your precious minutes. Follow along with Katharine’s practical tips to make sure that you arrive at work looking polished and the kids hit their classrooms without any signs of bedhead. Here we go!


Katharine’s Quick Tips for Coily Moms:

  • Use the Aloe Vera Curl Primer to get ahead of tangles and matting each night. For long hair, work in sections and gently detangle hair starting with the ends and up to the roots. 
  • Boys with short coils need hair love too! Apply the Aloe Vera Curl Primer at night for added moisture and coil definition that carries over into the morning rush.
  • Make sure everyone has a 100% Satin Pillowcase to protect coils overnight and reduce frizz. Who wants to deal with frizz in the morning when you’ve got pancakes to flip and much-needed coffee to sip!
  • From boys with short coils to girls with long tresses, everyone benefits from a quick refresh using just a Continuous Mist Spray Bottle and the ReFlex Curl Styling Serum. Each refresh took 5 minutes or less!

What wavy mamas need to know to make busy mornings easier


“As a wavy / curly girl, if you think an evening curl routine and morning refresh routine is choosing chaos, you have not met TréLuxe’s Aloe Vera Curl Primer and Satin Pillowcase.”

Courtney’s Quick Tips for Wavy Moms:

  • The multi-tasking Aloe Vera Curl Primer gets scrunched in at night on Courtney’s long waves. She chooses the Primer because it works as a primer, detangler, styler and refresher! She also applies it to her toddler's hair at night for easy detangling and knows that it’s safe for her little one’s delicate skin.
  • Courtney recommends the 100% Satin Pillowcase for overnight wavy hair protection.

FAQs

Do TréLuxe products work on permed hair?

TréLuxe products are made from gentle, natural ingredients and are safe on chemically-treated strands. Originally formulated with natural curls in mind, our products can hydrate, define and enhance curls of any kind.

Do you offer fragrance-free products?

We do! Three of our most popular styling products: ReFlex Curl Styling Serum and Hi! Definition Curl Enhancer Styling Gel, and Untie the Knot Nourishing Leave-In Conditioner, come in fragrance-free options. We certainly understand that fragrances can be very subjective, and we’re working on developing more fragrance-free product offerings in the future.
Please do note that “fragrance-free” does not always equal “scent-free.” Fragrance-free means that there are no additive fragrances on top of the existing ingredients. However, there is still a scent as a result of the mixing together of all the ingredients.

Are there videos/tutorials of people using your products?

Yes, we’ve got a few different ways you can take in useful videos and tutorials that include the products in action.
We recently launched an incredible resource! It's called ReelCurls University and is full of helpful how-to videos to provide education and inspiration for curlies, coilies and wavies. We’d highly recommend checking it out!
TréLuxe social media pages share videos of people with all different types of textured hair. Check us out on Instagram (@discovertreluxe) or Facebook (discoverTreLuxe) for tons of helpful content.
The monthly newsletter and weekly Monday Motivation emails often contain videos and tutorials as well! We also have bi-monthly blogs that we post on our website, which take a deep dive into many different topics, including how to use the products!
