Smart Hair & Skincare Routine for Your Teen (Ages 13–17)

Back-to-school season is here - new schedules, busy mornings, and plenty of activities ahead.

For moms of teenagers, keeping up with their hair and skincare can be a balancing act. At this age, they’re more independent, but they still need guidance to build healthy self-care habits that last a lifetime.

1. Morning hair care that works for them
• Encourage protective styles that last all week — knotless braids, sleek buns, flat twists, or twist-outs so they can focus more on school and less on daily styling.

• Keep a Sunflower Curl & Twirl Leave-In Conditioner handy for them to refresh their hair each morning. It adds moisture, tames frizz, and makes styling easier.

• For edges and flyaways, our Gurl Hold Yo Curl Mousse is a teen-friendly favorite and gives a neat look without stiffness.

2. Skincare that’s simple but effective
• Teens’ skin can be sensitive and prone to dryness or breakouts, so keep it gentle. Use our Therapeutic Bar Soap, formulated to be mild, nourishing, and safe for daily use.

• Moisturizing is non-negotiable - our Cocoa Body Butter locks in hydration, especially after showers or sports practice.

• Keep them fresh all day with our Natural Body Deodorant, which is gentle on skin and free from harsh chemicals.

3. Backpack essentials
• Slip a cocoa body butter and lip balm into their school bag so they can reapply after gym, lunchtime, or whenever they feel dry.

Our Back-to-School Essential Bundle has everything they need in one pack:

1. 8 oz Mango Castor Oil Shampoo: This deep cleans without stripping moisture.

2. 8 oz Mango Castor Oil Conditioner: This is perfect for 4C hair - to soften and detangle hair.

3. 2 oz Mango Castor Oil: This nourishes scalp and promotes healthy growth.

3. Therapeutic Bar Soap: This is perfect for a gentle daily cleansing for sensitive skin.

4. Sunflower Essential Bundle (Shampoo + Leave-In Conditioner): This is perfect for quick refreshes.

By giving your teen the right tools and teaching them how to care for themselves, you’re setting them up for healthy habits and self-assurance they’ll carry for years to come.
