Creme of Nature products in Kenya: which one does your hair need?

Creme of Nature bottles look alike on the shelf, and people often buy the wrong one. The range splits into two main families: Argan Oil for moisture, frizz and shine, and Pure Honey for knots and curls. There are also the Exotic Shine hair colours. Here is a simple chooser, so you can match one product to the problem you actually have.

First, the two families

• Argan Oil: for dry, frizzy hair that needs moisture and shine. It suits natural, relaxed and pressed hair.
• Pure Honey: for natural hair that tangles easily or needs its curls brought out.
• Exotic Shine colours: covered in our guide to hair dye for grey hair in Kenya, including how to patch test.

Pick by what your hair needs

Dry, itchy scalp: Argan Oil Day and Night Hair and Scalp Conditioner

Creme of Nature Argan Oil Day and Night Hair and Scalp Conditioner is a conditioning cream for the hair and scalp, with argan oil. Rub a small amount between your fingertips and apply it along your partings when your scalp feels tight or dry. A little goes a long way, and too much will sit on the scalp and catch dust.

Knots and tangles: Pure Honey Leave-In Detangler

Creme of Nature Pure Honey Knot Away Leave-In Detangler is made for hair that knots after washing. Apply it to damp hair in sections, then detangle from the ends upwards with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. If wash day ends with a sink full of broken hair, start here.

Dry, frizzy lengths: Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioner

Creme of Nature Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioner is for dry, frizzy or damaged hair that breaks. Use it on damp hair after washing, and between washes on hair you have lightly misted with water. It is a good everyday moisturiser for natural hair and for the lengths of relaxed hair.

Curl definition: Pure Honey Curl Activator

Creme of Nature Pure Honey Curl Activator is made with honey, coconut oil, shea butter and vitamin E. Use it on wet hair for a wash-and-go, or under a twist-out or braid-out. Rake it through each section, then leave the curls alone while they dry.

Shine and frizz on humid days: Argan Oil Gloss Shine Mist

Creme of Nature Argan Oil Anti Humidity Gloss Shine Mist is a finishing mist. Spray it from a distance over a finished style for shine and to keep frizz down when the weather turns humid. It is especially useful on blow-dried, pressed or relaxed hair.

Also in the range

For washing, there is the Creme of Nature Argan Oil Sulfate-Free Moisture and Shine Shampoo, and for a weekly treatment the Creme of Nature Argan Oil hair treatment. If you want help choosing a shampoo from any brand, see our guide to the best shampoo for natural hair in Kenya.

A simple Creme of Nature routine

• Natural hair, wash day: shampoo and condition, then the Pure Honey Detangler, then the Curl Activator for a wash-and-go or twist-out.
• Natural hair, mid-week: mist with water, Argan Oil Leave-In on the ends, and the Day and Night conditioner on any dry patches of scalp.
• Relaxed or pressed hair: Argan Oil Leave-In on the lengths, then the Gloss Shine Mist to finish.

You do not need the whole range. Two or three products that match your hair will do more than six used at once.

Questions we get asked

Which Creme of Nature product is best for natural hair?

It depends on your main problem. For knots, the Pure Honey Leave-In Detangler. For dryness and frizz, the Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioner. For curl definition, the Pure Honey Curl Activator. Most people with natural hair do well with the detangler plus one of the other two.

How much are Creme of Nature products in Kenya?

The Creme of Nature hair care we recommend here costs roughly KSh 900 to KSh 1,200 each. The live prices are in the list above, and delivery is free on orders from KSh 3,000.

How do I use Creme of Nature curl activator?

Apply it to wet, detangled hair in sections, rake it through from root to tip, and let the hair dry without touching it. Use more on the ends if they are drier than the roots.

Can I use Creme of Nature on relaxed hair?

Yes. The Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioner and the Gloss Shine Mist work well on the lengths of relaxed and pressed hair. Keep heavy creams off the scalp in the days before a relaxer touch-up.

Is Creme of Nature hair dye good for grey hair?

The Exotic Shine colours can be used on grey hair, but you must do the allergy test on the pack before every use. Our guide to hair dye for grey hair explains how to choose a shade and colour safely.
