Washing: Make It Customized! Step #1
I’ve recently realised that when it comes to hair care, one-size-fits-all doesn't always work for everyone. Custom formulas have completely changed the way my hair looks and feels.
I started with the shampoo, conditioner, and mask, and unbelievably from the very first use I could feel and see a major difference! My hair felt softer, smoother, and noticeably healthier right away. I’ve been using Prose for 2 months now, and it’s ...
Prose Custom Hair Care
Squeaky clean but non-stripping. I learned that clarifying shampoos are key for removing buildup from products, hard water, and oils so your hair can actually absorb the treatments that follow. The way you actually feel how this product works is unre...

This one gives extra polish while still feeling natural. I use it on days I want some shine, texture, and frizz control while air-drying (because who has time to always blow dry?) My hair feels nourished and looks smooth, but it still feels soft and ...

For When You Need to Style: Heat Protection (Step #3)
Even while focusing on healing, of course there are days when I want a polished look or need to style with heat. This step is all about protecting hair from damage caused by blow-drying, curling, or straightening. Using thermal protection sprays and ...
I love using this before any heat styling. It feels lightweight on my hair but gives a solid protective layer, so I can blow-dry or use a curling iron without worrying about damage. My waves stay soft, healthy, and still have natural movement.

No Oils, No Shine: My Essential Hair Elixirs (Step 4)
Oils are my non-negotiable step for healthy, frizz-free, glossy hair. They lock in moisture, tame fly-aways, and give my strands shine. A few drops goes a long way, and the right oil instantly makes my hair feel nourished, soft, and touchable.
