If you’ve ever stood in front of a shelf (or scrolled through a page) of SKALA tubs, overwhelmed by all the bright colours and wondering, “Which SKALA is best for my curls?”, you’re not alone.
We get this question daily at Sunshine Curls, and it makes sense—SKALA has created a range of affordable, oversized curl treatment creams, each targeting specific hair types and concerns. But with names like "Mais Cachos" or "Love Pot," it can be hard to tell which one your hair actually needs.
