About For Textured Hair
Why was For Textured Hair founded?
For Textured Hair was founded with the vision of normalizing and celebrating textured hair in all its forms. We aim to inspire confidence in wearing your hair with pride and to create products that make it easy to care for and love your natural hair. With a focus on quality, care, and ingredients that truly make a difference, we offer haircare that provides moisture, strength, and shine without compromise.
Where are your products made?
For Textured Hair is based in Stockholm, Sweden. Our haircare products are developed and manufactured in Sweden, using carefully selected, nutrient rich ingredients and maintaining high standards of quality at every step of the process.
The products
I see that FTH products are made of 80-90% plant based ingredients, why is that?
Our products are made with plant-based ingredients, but we also use a few scientifically developed ingredients to ensure the product’s effectiveness, stability, and longevity. We always strive to use as high a percentage of botanical derived ingredients as possible without compromising on quality or results.
Are FTH products nut and gluten-free?
Yes, our products are free from nuts and gluten. If you have a specific allergy, we recommend checking the ingredient list on each product, where all ingredients are always listed in detail.
Are your products vegan?
Yes, all our products are 100% vegan and not tested on animals.
What is the pH level of FTH products?
Our products are pH-balanced with a pH level of 4.5–5.2, around the same range that hair and skin naturally have. This helps maintain the hair’s protective layer, reduce damage, and prevent dryness.
What is the durability of FTH products?
Unopened products have a shelf life of up to 36 months. After opening, we recommend using the product within 6 months for optimal effectiveness and freshness. All products are labeled with a symbol indicating the period of use after opening.
Which hair types are For Textured Hair products designed for?
For Textured Hair is developed for all types of textured hair from loose to tight textures. Our products are formulated to provide the right balance of moisture, nourishment, and definition, whether you’re looking for more volume or long-lasting definition.
If you have a lot of hair (high density, full strands, or longer lengths), you may need to use more product in your routine for the best results.
If your hair is finer or has lower density, a smaller amount is often enough to achieve light volume and movement
My hair feels stiff and the products don’t absorb, what should I do?
If your hair feels rough, stiff, or like the products aren’t really absorbing, it may be a sign of buildup on the hair. Sometimes your hair needs a fresh start with a clarifying shampoo. This helps remove product residue, buildup, and metals that accumulate over time.
For best results, we recommend clarifying about once every four weeks. This allows your hair to better absorb moisture and nutrients from your products, leaving it softer and more hydrated again.
How often should I use a clarifying shampoo?
Sometimes your hair needs a fresh start. A clarifying shampoo helps remove product residue, buildup, and metals that accumulate over time. For best results, we recommend clarifying about once every four weeks. This helps your hair absorb moisture and nutrients from your products more effectively, allowing them to work at their best.
Is For Textured Hair suitable for children?
Yes, our products are gentle and can be used on children from age 3 and up. Our formula is fragrance-free, gentle and formulated without essential oils, citric acid, sulfates, silicones, phthalates, or synthetic colorants in accordance with EU cosmetic regulations.
Fragrance-free hair care
Why are your products fragrance-free?
Our products are completely free from added perfumes and essential oils. This is a conscious choice made with consideration for hair, scalp, skin, and the environment. Perfume is one of the most common causes of irritation and sensitivity, especially in products used regularly. By opting out of perfume, we reduce the risk of irritation over time. For us, it is more important that the products work, feel good in the hair, and are gentle in the long run, than that they have a strong scent.
Perfume-free but not fragrance-free
Our products are perfume-free, but not entirely scent-free. The scent comes naturally from the plant-based ingredients in the formula, such as oils and botanical extracts. Since we don't mask these scents, they can be perceived differently from person to person. As we work with natural raw materials, the scent can also vary slightly between batches and change over time.
Our approach to perfume
For us at fth, fragrance-free is not just a formula choice, it's part of our philosophy. We believe in a gentle and thoughtful approach to hair care that considers the whole picture: hair, scalp, skin, and their long-term health.
Every ingredient must serve a purpose. If it doesn't contribute to the well-being of the hair or scalp, it has no place in the formula. Instead of masking the product, we let the formula speak for itself.
Our priority has always been the formula: how it works, how it feels, and how it supports the hair over time. We develop our products to provide hydration, slip, softness, and balance, not to create a temporary experience.
Why does the product not smell like traditional hair care?
Because we don't use added perfume or essential oils. The scent comes from the raw ingredients in the formula and may therefore be perceived differently if you are used to fragranced products. This is a conscious choice. We prioritize function, scalp health, and long-term results over masking the formula.
Does the scent linger in your hair?
No. The natural scent may be most noticeable upon application, especially on wet hair. As the hair dries, it becomes milder and dissipates, leaving the hair feeling clean and neutral.
Is fragrance-free haircare better for your hair?
Fragrance-free products can be a gentler option, especially for sensitive skin and scalp or for regular use. At fth, we focus on creating formulas where each ingredient serves a function for hair and scalp, rather than adding fragrance for the experience.
Why don't you use essential oils?
Even though essential oils are plant-based, they can be irritating, especially with frequent use. We have chosen to exclude them to create a formula that is as gentle and stable as possible for both scalp and skin.
What does gentle mean to FTH?
To gently respect hair and scalp over time. It's about avoiding unnecessary stress, irritation, and product buildup, and instead focusing on moisture, balance, and long-term hair health. It's not about doing less, but about doing what actually makes a difference.
