I don’t have enough space for all the good things I can say about Hubalou. Sustainable, beautiful, useful, made in the USA, giving back to local communities with their profits – hello! A product that I can feel good about using on my hair.

Hubalou is a young company, just recently founded in 2012 by Sarah Masciana. She experimented with different materials, originally utilizing a cotton t-shirt to dry her hair to protect the natural curls. Then she stumbled upon the bamboo fiber and brought forth this luxurious bamboo head wrap. Perfect for all hair types! I was in the same position as this Austin, Texas based Hubalou founder…

Prior to Hubalou, I used a bath towel Turbie Twist head wrap when I got out of the shower – I battle frizz and humidity problems here in Puerto Rico like no other. So I immediately apply jojoba oil or Moroccan oil to my hair to combat this, then wrap it up to keep the moisture inside to dry my hair while I pray for less frizz by the time I unwrap. Then I came across Hubalou by accident and was impressed with their bamboo fiber head wrap that they claim results in more manageable, healthy hair and less frizz. Less Frizz! Exceptionally marketed towards folks with naturally curly (me!) or dry brittle hair (sometimes me!). I had to try this out for myself.

When my head wrap arrived, I used it that same night. And slept in it so that I could wake up with beautiful natural curls sans frizz. And did that happen?

Yes. Yes it did, like a miracle it did. Will I ever use a regular terry cloth again? Definitely not. Sarah’s stylist said it best — a terry cloth (or synthetic microfiber) is like Velcro on your hair, pulling individual strands and breaking apart natural curls. I don’t want that!

So I wanted to share this product with you and I’ve demonstrated how to wrap the Hubalou in the above photos. You can find additional illustrations on how to wrap it for short hair, for sleeping and more at their site. These make awesome gifts, stocking stuffers for Christmas or hostess presents too!

Have a wonderful week!
