Naturally Straight

Naturally straight hair has a hair shaft that grows straight from the scalp. This type of hair tends to lubricate faster, which requires it to be cleansed more often. Individuals with straight hair also have the tendency to lubricate the hair more often with gels, mousses, holding sprays, and other formulas to help support their hair style. This in combination with blow drying and hot curling, the hair takes on a dry appearance. The Biostrand Basic Program provides more oxygenation to the hair and scalp making it more responsive to styling and less susceptible to build-up. Specifically, Toxiclenz and Clinsmé remove product build-up on the hair without over-softening the hair. Toxiclenz and Clinsmé also remove bacteria and fungal growth, like head lice, which is very common for individuals with naturally straight hair. Phormé Ultra Light adds volume to straight hair making in more responsive.

Naturally Wavy or Curly

Naturally curly hair starts to bend as it grows from the scalp. This hair type is more likely to have oil build-up and excessive drying, especially for those that like to blow dry the hair straight. Using hot water for grooming can result in increased tangling. The use of styling products causes naturally curly hair to matte. This occurs because the build-up of products causes the hair to stick together. Attempting to detangle the hair results in destruction of the hair cuticle and hair structure abnormalities, which leads to frizziness and breakage. The Biostrand Basic Program removes build-up, restructures the hair so it is more controllable, and nourishes the hair to minimize breakage. Toxiclenz and Clinsmé cleanse the hair from excessive build-up and frees the hair from sticking together or tangling. Cortephx adds key nutrients to build and strengthen the hair.

Overly Curly

Overly curly hair grows very bent from the scalp. This hair type is prevalent among individuals of mixed racial and African ethnicities. As a result of the excessive curl pattern of this hair type, it tends to be very thick and dry. Styling products build-up, especially oil-based or petroleum-based products is common because of the desire to keep the hair from looking dull and dry. The Biostrand Basic Program cleanses and replenishes the hair without the product build-up. Toxiclenz and Clinsmé detoxifies and normalizes the hair from excessive use of styling products. Cortephx provides the nutrients to strengthen the hair. Phormé moisturizes the hair and Finé adds shine without product build-up and leaves the hair responsive to styling.

Locs, Braids, or Twists

Locs, braids, and twists are styles typically associated with requiring minimal care, but require as much attention to the needs of the hair and scalp. Individuals with these hair styles tend to have a very dry hair and scalp. This lends itself to increased breakage or minimal hair growth. The Biostrand Basic Program provides "value-added" nutrients to maximize the strength and growth of the hair. Toxiclenz and Clinsmé removes bacteria and environmental build-up while cleansing the hair. Phorme allows you to still replenish and nourish the hair while it is still locked, braided, or twisted. Finé gives the hair added shine without the heaviness or build-up. The Biostrand Basic Program keeps the structure of the hair versatile and responsive. If an individual locks their hair on the Biostrand Basic Program, it allows them to remove or undo the locs without the need to completely cut off the hair. Hair stays soft and responsive which is typicall uncommon with locs and braids.

Chemically Treated

Relaxers, perms, and color treatments are all processes that permanently change the structure of the hair and scalp. These processes rob the hair and scalp of oxygen, causing hair to be dry, fragile, and tangled from split ends. In most cases, there remains chemical residue in the hair after styling. This continues the weaken the hair. The Biostrand Basic Program helps to create a chemically-free environment within the hair and scalp. Toxiclenz and Clinsmé normalizes the hair after the chemical process. Cortephx replenishes the hair with nutrients needed to avoid breakage and reduction in growth. The program re-oxygenates the hair and scalp to keep the chemical processes from damaging the hair and scalp.
