Skala Hair Treatment Creams
Multi-Purpose 4-in-1 Brazilian Hair Care
Discover our iconic color-coded treatment creams—each a multi-functional powerhouse that works as a deep conditioning treatment, leave-in conditioner, co-wash cleanser, or pre-shampoo treatment. One jar replaces multiple products while delivering authentic Brazilian botanical nourishment.
What Are Skala Hair Treatment Creams?
Skala Hair Treatment Creams are our signature multi-purpose formulas that have revolutionized Brazilian hair care since 1986. Each generous 35.2 oz (1000g) jar delivers professional salon-quality results through four distinct usage methods, making them the ultimate versatile solution for your hair care routine.
What sets these treatment creams apart is their unique color-coded system—each color represents a specialized formula targeting specific hair needs. The Orange Skala nourishes coily textures, the Yellow Skala strengthens and promotes growth, and the Green Skala provides lightweight hydration. All formulas are 100% Curly Girl Method approved, completely free from sulfates, silicones, parabens, petrolatum, and mineral oil.
These aren’t just conditioners—they’re intensive treatment creams enriched with powerful Brazilian botanicals including Amazonian oils, plant extracts, and vitamins. Use them weekly for deep conditioning, daily as leave-in protection, or between washes as a gentle co-wash. One product, four applications, endless possibilities for healthier hair.
Why Skala Treatment Creams Are Different
Unlike traditional conditioners that only work one way, Skala Hair Treatment Creams are formulated with a unique multi-functional base that adapts to different application methods. The rich, concentrated formula delivers intensive nourishment whether you rinse it out or leave it in.
This versatility means you’re getting exceptional value—one jar replaces your deep conditioner, leave-in, co-wash, and pre-treatment. Brazilian beauty wisdom meets modern hair science in these iconic color-coded jars that have earned cult status among natural hair enthusiasts worldwide.
4 Ways to Use Skala Treatment Creams
Every Skala Hair Treatment Cream works four distinct ways. Here’s how to maximize your results with each application method:
1. Deep Conditioning Treatment
Apply generously to freshly washed hair, massaging along the entire length for 3 minutes while avoiding roots. For maximum nutrient absorption, use a heat cap or steamer for 15-30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
- Ideal for weekly intensive nourishment
- Repairs damage and restores moisture balance
- Enhances shine and softness
- Best for all hair types and textures
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 protection
- Rich texture provides lasting nourishment
- Perfect for high porosity hair
- 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 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 your regular shampoo and conditioner routine.
- Shields strands from shampoo’s drying potential
- Prevents moisture depletion during washing
- Fortifies hair before physical manipulation
- Critical for high porosity textures
