Farouk Systems Inc. presents new CHI Deep Brilliance Olive & Monoi, a hair care line and relaxer system enriched with olive oil and monoi oil to moisturize and nourish chemically-treated textured hair and protect strands from thermal damage.
The ingredients in the Olive & Monoi line work together to improve the condition of hair damaged by daily styling and chemical treatments. Olive oil provides moisture and permeates the hair shaft to condition the scalp, improving the elasticity of hair. Monoi oil, made from a blend of Coconut oil and Tiare Gardenia Flowers, offers deep conditioning and ultimately reverses damage caused by thermal styling. Shea butter serves as a natural conditioner, eliminating dryness and breakage and ensuring more manageability. Lastly, the key ingredient, silk, is a protein that revitalizes weakened hair strands and provides high shine.
