SASSY CHERRY ALMOND

Sassy Cherry Almond

Oh hey there Cherry Almond! You are sassy, fun and flirty with a bit of a wild streak. Your hair is your crown. You take pride in your locks that seem to turn heads everywhere you go. Whether it’s a casual (but purposeful) flip from one side to the other, a twirl around your finger, or just a second-nature stroke through, you like to experience your hair throughout the day. It tends to be thicker, maybe longer and on the more resilient side, which is great because that means you don’t have to wash it every day, in fact leaving it alone for a day or two gives it a playful texture that works really well for you. If you think you love your hair now, wait ‘til you try Cherry Almond! It will deliver softening benefits for touchable hair, add shine and bounce, and leaves an irresistible, one-of-a-kind aroma.

More reasons to love Cherry Almond:

  • Cherry blossom extract and sweet almond oil blend nourishes the hair
  • Features omega-9 and omega-6 fats that help condition the hair and scalp
  • Babassu and organic coconut oil provide gentle, weightless cleansing
  • Shea butter deeply conditions to restore softness & shine
  • Silicone-free
  • Vegan & cruelty-free
  • Great for long hair
