Brand & Product

How do you pronounce Bouclème?

Pronunciation: boo-clem

What distinguishes Bouclème formulas from other natural hair care product brands?

Our formulations are made with at least 94% naturally derived ingredients which are scientifically proven to deliver great results for curly hair.

We use organic and biodegradable ingredients and all Bouclème products are free of sulphates, silicones, drying alcohols, mineral oils, PEGs, parabens, artificial fragrances and colours. Our products are fragranced only with essential oils for well-being.

And our eco-certified preservative is used in the minimum amount possible. It protects our carefully selected ingredients from developing harmful mould and bacteria, prolonging product shelf life.

Are your products vegan?

Yes, most of our products are vegan. Our 100% vegan products can be viewed here.

Since 2019 we have switched to a vegan-friendly Xanthan Gum which has allowed us to expand the vegan friendly products within our range.

The Curl Cleanser, Curl Conditioner, Intensive Moisture Treatment and Root Refresh contain honey, and we’re not currently looking to change this, simply because of the great benefits using honey offers. Curly hair thrives on moisture and honey is a great humectant which attracts moisture in the air and helps to hold it in combating any dryness leaving curls looking beautifully moisturised.

Are your products cruelty free?

Bouclème believes that beauty products should be cruelty free. We are proud to be Leaping Bunny approved. A global programme, Leaping Bunny requires cruelty free standards over and above legal requirements.

All of our own brand cosmetic and personal care products are approved under the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny programme, the internationally recognised gold standard for cruelty free products. We adhere to a fixed cut-off date policy and proactively monitor our suppliers to ensure that our products continue to adhere to the Leaping Bunny criteria. Our supplier monitoring system is also independently audited.

For more information about Cruelty Free International, Leaping Bunny and Leaping Bunny criteria, please visit www.crueltyfreeinternational.org.

Are your products suitable for children?

Yes, all our products are safe for use on children.

Are your products suitable to use when pregnant?

Yes, our products are safe to use on your curls when pregnant. They do contain essential oils so please refer to your GP for further advice.

Your curly routine

I’m new to embracing my curls, will your products help me during my transition?

Welcome to the strong curls club, we’ve got you! Transitioning can be a long and sometimes frustrating process, but that’s okay, it's a marathon, not a sprint!

When switching to new products it can take up to 4 weeks for you to work out how best to use for your unique curl type and texture.

If your previous products contained sulphates and/or silicones your hair will need a little time to detox and adjust.

If you’re struggling to work out how to get optimum results please email us at info@boucleme.us with a picture of your hair and we’ll get back to you with some tips and tricks.

You’ll know that the products are working when you start to notice your curls are more defined, shiny and with lovely volume.

How often should I wash my hair?

Always remember that curly hair loves moisture and water offers essential hydration. You can find out more about your hair type, texture and porosity in our curlcare guide.

We have two types of cleansers. Our Curl Cleanser is a non-foaming conditioning based cleanser and our Hydrating Hair Cleanser a low foaming shampoo.

For loose waves and curls: we recommend cleansing hair every 2 - 3 days to prevent oily roots and to ensure your curls stay healthy and defined. We recommend alternating between Hydrating Hair Cleanser and Curl Cleanser to balance oil production in the scalp whilst maintaining maximum moisture in length of hair.

For medium curls: Cleanse hair 1-2 times a week to maintain optimum hair hydration.

Tight, coily curl types: Wash hair at least once a week, you can refresh curls during the week by using a spray bottle with curl cream/ conditioner mixed with water to freshen curls until wash day!
