Best 3 Ways to use the Nappy Curls Castor Silk Serum

 

Introducing Castor Silk Serum, a powerful, concentrated formula designed to deeply hydrate, strengthen, and protect your curls with just a small amount. Whether you’re looking to prevent dryness, revive brittle ends, or give your hair an overnight moisture boost, this serum has you covered.

 

1. Pre-Poo Power Move: Protect Before You Wash

When to Use: Before wash day, ideally every 1-2 weeks.

How to Apply

a. Take 1-2 teaspoons per section and apply to dry or slightly damp hair, focusing on the ends and mid-lengths.

b. Avoid the scalp if you’re prone to buildup.

c. Massage in, then cover with a plastic cap for 15-30 minutes (no longer to prevent heaviness).

d. Follow with a clarifying shampoo to remove excess oil, then condition as usual.

Why It Works: Pre-pooing softens hair, prevents stripping, and reduces breakage—but limiting the treatment time ensures your hair stays light and bouncy. 

2. Target Dry Ends: Mid-Week Hydration Boost

When to Use: As needed, especially in dry weather or after heat styling.

How to Apply

a. Rub a dime-sized amount (0.5g) between your palms and smooth over the ends of your hair.

b. Use sparingly—a little goes a long way.

c. No need to rinse; style as usual.

Why It Works: This method revives dry, brittle ends without making your whole head feel greasy.

 

3. Overnight Mask for Intense Repair

When to Use: Once a month or when your hair needs extra TLC (e.g., after a protective style takedown or heat damage).

How to Apply

a. Work 1-2 tablespoons into damp hair, section by section.

b. Wrap your hair in a satin bonnet or scarf and leave it overnight.

c. In the morning, rinse thoroughly with a sulfate-free shampoo, followed by a lightweight conditioner.

d. Use lukewarm water to prevent residue buildup.

 

Why It Works: This deep treatment restores moisture and strength, but keeping it occasional prevents excessive heaviness.

How Often Should You Use It?

• Weekly Pre-Poo: Best for regular maintenance—prevents dryness and keeps hair soft.
• Mid-Week Touch-Up: Quick hydration for parched ends, perfect for winter or dry climates.
• Monthly Deep Treatment: Revives stressed curls after braids, chemical treatments, or heat exposure.

Pro Tips to Keep It Light & Non-Greasy

• Dilute It: Mix 1 oz serum + 1 tbsp water or aloe vera juice in a spray bottle for a lighter mist. Shake well before each use.
• Clarify Thoroughly: After using as a pre-poo or overnight treatment, wash with a clarifying shampoo (sulfate-based if needed) to remove all oil residue. Follow with a lightweight conditioner.
• Adjust Frequency: If your hair feels weighed down, reduce use to biweekly or monthly—find the rhythm that works for your curls!

Why Does The Castor Silk Serum Feel Heavy?

This serum is power-packed with 47% nourishing oils (castor, argan, jojoba) and 3% dimethicone, which locks in moisture but can feel rich on fine or low-porosity hair.
