4 Ways to Use the Skala Mais Crespos Treatment Cream

This intensive multi-functional formula replaces multiple products in your coily hair routine, delivering deep nourishment while maintaining professional-quality results. Discover four distinct application methods:

1. Deep Conditioning Treatment

Apply generously to freshly washed hair, working the cream through lengths while keeping away from roots. Massage for 3 minutes to ensure even distribution. For maximum nutrient absorption, use a heat cap for 15 minutes before rinsing completely.

2. Leave-In Conditioner

Section damp hair and distribute a small amount throughout mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the root area. Work through evenly without rinsing. Proceed with your preferred CGM styling techniques.

  • Delivers continuous moisture and volume protection
  • Rich texture provides lasting nourishment
  • Optimal for high porosity coily textures
  • Apply daily or during refresh routines

3. Co-Wash (Cleansing Conditioner)

Distribute product onto wet hair and scalp, using fingertip massage motions similar to traditional shampoo application. Rinse completely. Repeat application only when additional scalp cleansing is necessary.

  • Cleanses gently without depleting natural oils
  • Preserves moisture while eliminating product buildup
  • Perfect for mid-week refresh sessions
  • Suitable for sensitive or reactive scalps

4. Pre-Shampoo Treatment (Pre-Poo)

Section dry, unwashed hair and apply product liberally to each section. Cover hair and let penetrate for 15 minutes before rinsing. Continue with Mais Crespos Shampoo and Conditioner to complete your protective wash routine.

  • Shields strands from shampoo’s drying potential
  • Prevents moisture depletion during wash sessions
  • Fortifies hair before physical manipulation
  • Critical for high porosity coily patterns

Skala’s Power Ingredients for Coily Hair

Each Mais Crespos formula combines carefully chosen vegan botanicals that synergistically nourish and strengthen coily textures. Discover the key active ingredients behind this collection’s effectiveness:

Argan Oil

Morocco’s liquid gold for coils. Argan Oil penetrates deeply to mend damage, create luminous shine, and shield hair from environmental stressors. Rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, it strengthens hair elasticity while preventing breakage in tighter curl patterns.

Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera)

This molecular lightweight penetrates the hair cortex more effectively than other oils, delivering internal moisture retention. Coconut Oil prevents protein loss during washing, reduces frizz, and adds brilliant shine—essential for coily textures requiring deep nourishment.

Patauá Oil (Oenocarpus Bataua)

A powerful Amazonian botanical rich in omega-9 fatty acids. Patauá Oil deeply nourishes dry, brittle strands while promoting elasticity and strength. Its intensive moisturizing properties make it perfect for high porosity coily hair requiring maximum hydration.

Amaranth Extract (Amaranthus Caudatus)

This ancient grain extract contains squalene, a natural emollient that reinforces the hair’s lipid barrier. Amaranth strengthens hair structure, improves moisture retention, and adds body—creating the impressive volume that defines the Mais Crespos experience.

D-Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

This intensive humectant penetrates deep into the hair cortex, delivering internal hydration. D-Panthenol fortifies individual strands, enhances elasticity, and forms a protective moisture seal—vital for coily textures susceptible to dryness and breakage.

Shea Butter Cetyl Esters

This luxurious emollient softens and seals the cuticle layer, minimizing frizz while boosting volume and definition. Shea Butter delivers sustained moisture without heaviness, making it ideal for CGM styling methods and intensive treatments for coily hair.

What Skala Mais Crespos Does NOT Contain

  • NO Sulfates – No harsh cleansing agents that strip natural oils and dry out coils
  • NO Silicones – No buildup-causing ingredients that weigh down hair and prevent moisture penetration
  • NO Parabens – No controversial preservatives—only safe, gentle alternatives
  • NO Petrolatum – No petroleum-based ingredients that coat hair and prevent breathing
  • NO Mineral Oil – No pore-clogging oils that sit on top of hair rather than nourishing it
  • NO Drying Alcohols – Only beneficial fatty alcohols that condition and soften
  • 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free – No animal-derived ingredients or testing, ever. Learn more about our commitment to ethical beauty

Is Skala Mais Crespos Right for Your Hair Type?

Tight Curly Hair

Perfect for tight spirals requiring intensive moisture. Mais Crespos delivers the deep nourishment and volume that 3C curls need. The treatment cream works beautifully as both weekly deep conditioning and daily moisture maintenance.

Type 4A

Soft Coily Hair

Ideal for soft coils with defined S-patterns. Mais Crespos supplies the intensive hydration that prevents shrinkage while maintaining elasticity. Use the complete line for maximum moisture retention and consistent coily care.

Type 4B

The sweet spot for Mais Crespos. Z-pattern coils thrive with this collection’s deep nourishment and strengthening properties. Layer multiple products for comprehensive moisture that combats dryness and promotes impressive volume.

Type 4C

Mais Crespos vs. Mais Cachos: Which Line is Right for You?

Both lines are exceptional, but they serve different texture needs. Here’s how Skala Mais Crespos compares to our Skala Mais Cachos line for wavy to curly hair:

Moisture Level Medium to Intense Lightweight to Medium
Texture Richer, more nourishing Lighter, fast-absorbing
Best For Porosity Normal to High Porosity Low to Normal Porosity
Key Benefits Deep moisture, impressive volume, strength Definition, bounce, lightweight hydration
Ideal Climate Dry, cold weather Humid, warm weather
CGM Status 100% CGM Approved 100% CGM Approved
Can You Mix Them? Yes! Many people use Mais Crespos in winter and Mais Cachos in summer, or layer products for custom moisture levels. See our seasonal routine tips.

Pro Tip: If you have Type 3C hair, you’re in the overlap zone! Try Mais Crespos for deep moisture and impressive volume, then switch to Mais Cachos if you prefer lighter hydration. Many curl experts keep both lines on hand and adjust based on season, climate, and hair needs.
