If you are looking for a smoother, more natural shave we invite you to try Northwest Scents lavender shaving products . For light to regular facial hair we recommend our Lavender Shaving Foam . It's natural formula helps to soften the hair, and leaves the skin soft after shaving. In addition, it contains lavender essential oil which leaves a delicate scent on the skin and helps to heal nicks and/or wounds. Our Lavender Shaving Foam does not contain soaps, alcohol, salts, dyes, artificial colors or propellants. We recommend using this product with a regular manual razor or with wet/dry electric razors. For coarser hair we recommend our Lavender Shaving Oil . To use it simply wet your skin and apply some of the oil. Shave as normal. The oil moisturizes your skin, softens the hair, and leaves a gentle scent on the skin. It also reduces friction, which helps to reduce or eliminate razor bumps, making shaving a much more pleasant experience. It contains a special blend of natural es...

Question: What kind of hold does your hair pomade have? I wear my hair in a 360 wave style with a durag. Answer: Our pomade has a pretty good hold. Our shampoo and conditioner also help to bring out waves in natural hair. If you wash with the shampoo, rinse, and then apply some conditioner, rinse, and brush a small amount of pomade through your hair, and tie a silk or satin scarf or durag over your head, you should have waves in about an hour.

Question: Hi. I am an African American Male that has questions about what hair products I should be using. I usually have an Afro which is kind of big. I was wondering what shampoo and/or conditioner do you recommend me to use? Also during the day is there any products to keep my Afro a little more shiny instead of too nappy? Answer: To keep your hair healthy you should be using products that moisturize your hair. Our shampoos and conditioner are specially formulated to keep african american hair moisturized and healthy. We have a new line for men (Lavender-Patchouli) which you can see on our site at nwscents.com , but you can use any of our shampoos and conditioners for moisturizing results. During the day to keep your hair shiny, put a small amount of hair oil to the palm of your hands and apply it to your hair from your scalp to the ends of your hair.

Question: Do you have products you would recommend for a boy's hair? Our son is full African American descent. I keep it cut very short. Also, we currently use J&J baby wash for hair & body, plus Eucerine lotion fo his body morning and night and oil sheen olive for his hair, but I only do that in the mornings. We wash his hair twice a week. Is this an okay regiment? Or do I need to be using a conditioner? Answer: I don't have a line of products specifically for boys, but our regular product line is gentle enough to use on children, and I can provide the products in unscented (which I would recommend for babies) if you are interested in them. If your son is really young (which he probably is because you are using baby wash) you don't need a conditioner. And you probably can limit the shampooing to once a week instead of twice a week. Bathe him as often as you need to, but I would recommend shampooing once a week unless it is necessary to do it more (such as if he...
