Sustainable Haircare Combos

Ecoslay Boasts the Apple Sauce and Edge Brush Combo

— July 3, 2022 — Fashion
This sustainable haircare combo is offered by ethical Black-owned business Ecoslay. The kit consists of two products that will help consumers take better care of their hair—the "completely drama-free" Apple Sauce and the Bamboo Edge Brush.

The Apple Sauce delivers a multi-day hold with its 98% naturally derived ingredients. The formulation promises no flaking and no caking (even with reapplication). It can be easily rinsed with water. The Bamboo Edge Brush, on the other hand, is fully environmentally conscious. The brand boasts that "even the bristles are made from bamboo." Ecoslay has optimized this offering by making the handle cylindrical for a comfortable grip. The bristles, on the other hand, are tapered so they always stay in place.

The sustainable haircare combo can be used both for edge control and as a styling gel.
