Writer Samantha Cross is the Co-Founder of CurlScan, acommunity-built database of Curly Girl Method approved products.The key to Maui Moisture's approach to curl care is understanding just how different curls can be across the hair spectrum. "We understand that not all curls need the same levels of moisture, so our number one focus is providing the education and products [the customer] needs at all hydration levels and for all curl types," Vasen tells Byrdie.
