Maree Haircare at Oh My Skin Senegal is one of them. This partnership brings together two brands with a shared vision: offering natural, effective hair care while respecting cultural and environmental heritage. This article invites you to discover how this collaboration highlights the history and hair rituals of Senegalese women, with a special focus on Dakar, Senegal's vibrant capital.

Maree Haircare: a passion for nature and innovation

Maree Haircare is a brand deeply rooted in Corsican agroecology. Built on respect for nature and sustainable development, Maree Haircare uses natural ingredients and innovative methods to create high-quality hair care. One of its flagship products, the Immortelle Infused Hair Oil™, is formulated with 98.8% plant-based ingredients. This oil combines the repairing and antioxidant benefits of organic Corsican immortelle with those of argan, coconut and jojoba oils, offering complete, natural care for all hair types.

Dakar: a blend of tradition and modernity

Dakar, the capital of Senegal, is a dynamic, cosmopolitan city. It is the cultural and economic centre of the country, but it is also rich in history and traditions. Dakar is a city where past and present live together in harmony – and the beauty and hair rituals of Senegalese women are a perfect example.

The hair rituals of Senegalese women

Senegalese women have always placed great importance on their hair. Traditional hairstyles, braids and natural hair care are an integral part of their culture. Natural ingredients such as shea butter, baobab oil and coconut oil are commonly used to nourish, hydrate and protect the hair.

Shea butter

Shea butter is one of the most iconic products in African hair care. It is extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, which grows mainly in West Africa. Rich in vitamins A and E, it has exceptional moisturising and repairing properties. Senegalese women use it to nourish their hair and scalp, encouraging healthy hair growth.

Baobab oil

Baobab oil is another of nature's treasures used by Senegalese women. This majestic tree, often called "the tree of life", produces fruit whose seeds are pressed to extract a precious oil. Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, baobab oil helps hydrate dry hair and repair damaged ends.

Coconut oil

Coconut oil is widely used for its moisturising and nourishing properties. It is particularly effective for dry, damaged hair. As well as deeply nourishing the hair, coconut oil helps prevent breakage and split ends.

The Immortelle Infused Hair Oil™: a multi-purpose treatment

Maree Haircare's Immortelle Infused Hair Oil™ fits perfectly into this tradition of natural hair care. This multi-purpose product can be used in different ways to improve the health and look of your hair:

• Before styling: Apply a few drops to your hair before styling to protect it from heat and make detangling easier.
• As a finishing treatment: Use the oil to add instant shine and tame frizz.
• With a mask: Mix the oil into your hair mask to boost its effectiveness and deeply nourish your hair.
• As a scalp treatment: Massage the oil into your scalp to stimulate blood circulation and encourage healthy hair growth.

The importance of detangling tools

Choosing the right detangling tools is crucial to avoid damaging your hair. Soft-bristle brushes are ideal for fine, fragile hair, while firm-bristle brushes are better for thick hair. Bamboo combs are preferable to plastic ones as they are gentler on the hair and reduce static.

The history of Dakar and its hair rituals

Dakar is a vibrant mix of tradition and modernity. For centuries, Senegalese women have developed unique hair rituals, using natural ingredients to care for their hair and create elaborate hairstyles. These traditions are passed down from generation to generation, reflecting the country's cultural richness.

The partnership between Maree Haircare and Oh My Skin Senegal is a celebration of natural beauty and ancestral hair traditions. By combining modern innovation with traditional hair rituals, this collaboration offers Senegalese women effective hair care that respects their cultural heritage. With products like the Immortelle Infused Hair Oil™, you can care for your hair while respecting nature and tradition.
