FAQs

What does 'pre-styler' mean?

A pre-styler is a product applied to damp hair before your main styling products or heat styling. It helps to prepare the hair, adding benefits like smoothing, strengthening, or conditioning, making the final styling process easier and improving the overall result.

How much Ruffians Smoothing Balm should I use?

Start with a small amount, about the size of a pea. Distribute it evenly through your damp hair, focusing on the areas prone to frizz or dryness. You can add a little more if your hair is thicker or longer, but avoid over-application to prevent heaviness.

Can I use this on dry hair?

Yes, you can use Ruffians Smoothing Balm on dry hair to help tame frizz and add a touch of softness and shine. However, it is primarily designed to be used as a leave-in on damp hair for optimal benefits.

Will this product weigh my hair down?

If used in the recommended amount, it should not weigh down your hair. However, using too much product, especially on fine hair, could lead to a feeling of heaviness. It's always best to start with less and add more if needed.

What are omegas 3, 6, 7, and 9?

These are essential fatty acids that are beneficial for hair health. They help to nourish the hair, improve its strength, enhance softness, and add visible shine. In Ruffians Smoothing Balm, these omegas are sourced from up-cycled food industry waste.

Is this product suitable for all hair types?

While suitable for all hair types, it is particularly effective for those with dry, unruly, or coiled hair. Users with very fine or straight hair might need to use a minimal amount to avoid weighing it down.

Troubleshooting

Hair feels sticky or heavy after application

You may be using too much product. Try using a smaller amount and ensure it's evenly distributed, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Make sure to rinse thoroughly when washing your hair.

Product not effectively smoothing frizz

Ensure the balm is applied to damp, not wet or dry, hair for best absorption. For very dry or coarse hair, you might need a slightly larger amount or to layer it with another moisturizing product.

Product appears difficult to rinse out

Use a clarifying shampoo occasionally if you notice any residue. Ensure you are massaging the shampoo into the scalp and working it through the lengths of your hair.
