UK Product Spotlight | As I Am™


Before you all get ready to give me a good talking to, yes I know that As I Am is an American brand, however, our lovely supplier of all things amazing Gidore , recently announced that they are now retailers of this yummy and enticing brand, which has thus far been highly spoken of.

One thing I love about Gidore is their commitment to selling high quality and results driven products. They aren't your average retailer and you sure won't find a tub of nastiness on their site. 

Right well back to this brand then, for one 'As I am' comes from the same family of products as Keracare and is a part of the Avlon group, the brand caters specifically to curls, coils and kinks within the type 3b/c and type 4 hair band. 

Don't quite understand hair typing? 

Hair typing refers to the amount of texture hair has. Naturally straight hair is Type 1, loose-wavy hair is type 2, curly hair is type 3 and coily hair is type 4. In the case of types 3 and 4, the sub-classificatiions from a - c, are based upon the diameter of the curl or coil. For instance a type 3a curl may have the diameter of a nickle, a 3b, like a dime. Type 4, which is very typical among African descent people, ranges from the diameter of a pencil eraser (4a), to the diameter of an ink pen spring (4b), and even smaller than that, (4c)

Here's a chart that puts 'hair typing' into perspective

Finally, As I Am products all fall into the 4.5 - 6.5 pH category and are available for US and UK purchase. I'll definitely want to give some of their products a try when I'm further into my transition. Have you tried any of them? Let a girl know!
