A few weeks ago, Beyoncé made her way to Tokyo, Japan for a Cowboy Carter album signing. While there she captured a few promo shots for her haircare line and they posted them to Instagram.
The photos showed Queen Bey, administering the Nourishing Hair Oil to her stylist. He then applies it to her hair. Most of the comments were positive but there were a few that couldn't believe that the hair in the photos, were Beyoncé's natural hair.
Most of the comments were positive. Some called into question the validity of the products, but others pointed out that with her level of wealth, she would only be wearing a custom crafted wig.
But is it okay to use Cécred on your human hair wigs?
Let's discuss it below.
Why It’s Okay to Use Cécred On Your Human Hair Wigs
Cécred is a haircare line, founded by THE Beyoncé, dedicated to providing foundational care for all hair types. The brand is strongly tied to her upbringing in the hair salon that her mother, Tina Knowles, owned.
The products have a patent-pending, Bioactive Keratin Ferment technology that's focused on strengthen the hair and retaining length. It features ingredients like honey, wool, and probiotic ferment.
The product line is a system, or hair ritual, that makes caring for your hair simple and easy.
The formulation of the Cécred haircare products is suitable for all hair types. This means that if you have human hair wigs or extensions, using the products is totally okay.
How To Use Cécred for Your Wigs
There are three things your wigs need to ensure that they last as long as possible. This is includes (1) cleansing, (2) moisture, and (3) damage protection/repair. Here are the Cécred products we recommend for your wig care routine.
- Clarifying Shampoo and Scalp Scrub: This product is great for your most used wigs. You need a powerful cleanser that will wash away hair spray, wax, and even smoothing oils. Do not use this for every wash because it will dry the hair out over time.
- Hydrating Shampoo: Clarifying shampoos work by deep cleaning and it can sometimes remove moisture. It provides the much need nourishment that human needs to stay healthy.
- Moisturizing Deep Conditioner: We recommend using this deep conditioner periodically to restore hydration and smooth the hair.
- Moisture Sealing Lotion: Use this before drying your wig. It's a much needed step that helps hold your curls. To avoid weighting the hair down, evenly distribute a dime-sized amount through out the entire wig.
- Nourishing Hair Oil: This oil is perfect for finishing off your curls. Use a few drops to add shine and life to your style.
The brand hasn't released their Hydrating Conditioner but you would use it right after the Hydrating Shampoo.
