The urge to cut bangs is one known around the world. At first you’re excited to explore a new look, channeling Zoë Kravitz in that one scene of The Batman (2022) is never a bad idea. But then, you’re greeted with the thought of the awkward grow-out phase that comes next, and suddenly you’ve once again backed out of getting bangs. So, how do we stop this cycle? We change, and we adapt. We give to you, Curtain Bangs! Why Curtain Bangs? Half the worry, with double the fun, Curtain Bangs are the new way to cut bangs. With no grow out stage awkwardness, and totally less maintenance, Curtain Bangs are about to be your new personality trait (Which we 100% support here at Remilia). What are Curtain Bangs? Curtain bangs are the cool older cousin of regular bangs. Inspired by the 70’s, they work on all face shapes and sizes, and enhance your features to really open up the eyes and cheekbones. They work for almost every hair texture, and they don’t really need much styling… They’re perfect and we love them for it! How exactly are they different from regular bangs? Curtain Bangs require a lot less hair to be cut, and are a lot longer than your typical straight across front fringe. This makes them uber appealing to those with commitment issues, giving them the freedom to cut their bangs to the length they choose, depending on how bold they’re willing to be. How to style Start with a prep product. We love a good mousse and a heat protectant. Blow dry all your bangs to the right, and then change directions and blow dry all your bangs to the left. Repeat this a few times until your bangs are 50% dry, to give them a bit of bounce. Using your Hi-Volume Hair Brush, grab the hair with your brush and bring it forward, away from your forehead. Then, spin the brush up and back away from your face, and repeat until both left and right bang are dried. To finish, moisturize your mane with one of our Cosmocap’s. Simply squeeze the contents of the Cosmocap into the palm of your hand, and then massage the serum evenly into your hair.
WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR COSMOCAP EMPTIES
To start off, our condolences… we know how heartbreaking it is to use up all of your Cosmocaps. However, making sure your Cosmocap empties are recycled properly helps take away the hurt, and also gives a high five to mother nature (who’s totally going to high five you back).
We’ve done all the hard work for you
Studies show that less than 12% of plastic is recycled, with approximately 8 million pieces of plastic pollution finding its way into our waterways and ocean everyday. To put it simply, it’s a big BIG issue and totally not what we’re all about.
Here at Remilia, we're big fans of Planet Earth. We’re strong believers in making sustainable decisions when it comes to the products we consume, which is why we strive to make our products as environmentally friendly as possible. Not only is the packaging of our Cosmocaps reusable AND recyclable, our Cosmocap Capsules themselves are totally biodegradable. Don’t believe us? Let us show you how to melt down your Cosmocaps. It’s quick and easy, and also… kind of fun to watch!
How to Biodegrade the Biodegradable
Who doesn’t love a good science experiment? Simply pop your empty Cosmocap cases into boiling water and watch as the capsules melt, you’ll have a heavenly smelling liquid solution in no time. The boiling water not only dissolves the capsule super quickly, but once cooled, you’re left with a “Cosmo-politan” (it’ll catch on) that is perfect for the garden. Veggies, Plants, or that indoor Monstera that you’re trying to save will LOVE the nutrients. Don’t have a green thumb? No stress at all! Your fun little concoction is totally safe to pour down the drain. Oh how we love versatility!

Think Cher and Kendall Jenner, your hair was made to just wash and go! We envy you, we really do, but that doesn’t mean your hair type doesn’t come with its own list of problems… Type 1 Hair is made up of naturally super fine strands. Relatively low-maintenance, and naturally thin and wispy, your hair lacks any sort of real curl but looks great loose and free. Oil is your biggest issue, but we’ve got that covered, here are our Top 4, Type 1 Hair Hacks that you’re going to wish you knew sooner! Wash your Hair Regularly When it comes to beating that oil, a regular wash schedule is going to be life saver. We recommend washing your hair every two to three days to keep it clean, and give it that je ne sais quoi. Any more than that, and your hair won’t get the natural nutrients it needs to stay healthy and soft. Finding the right balance is critical, but don’t worry, we know you’ve got this! Regular Hair Cuts Trimming your dead ends is super important to ensure your Type 1 Hair stays full of life. The longer you go without a snip, the more weighted and pulled down your hair will look and feel, so make sure you get on top of your hair cut routine. (Trust us, you can thank us later!) Wash your Hair with Cold Water We’re so sorry, but you’re going to have to go full polar bear with this one. Washing your Type 1 Hair with cold water is a must when it comes to oil control, and keeping your hair super shiny and clean. Cold water not only rids the scalp of dirt, oil and impurities, but keeps your hair cleaner for longer. There’s just too many pro’s! Don’t Sleep with Wet Hair If you’re like us, you leave your hair washing right to the last minute before bed. This totally doesn’t need to change, but how you dry your hair before bed does. Using a hair dryer, make sure your hair is 100% bone dry before you go to sleep, to make sure you avoid any unwanted frizz (and some unwanted tangles).
