What is a SKIMDO?
It is many things in one: a product, a look and a style treatment for curly hair.
It was created by Kimberley Cowans, a woman of Russian and Jamaican heritage who, frustrated with not finding the right products for her hair texture, decided to create her own. The result was SKIMDO, a product free of harmful ingredients, safe for adults and children alike, that seals, coils and defines curls without heaviness.
When Kim contacted me about SKIMDO, I initially wondered if it was right for me because although I love indulgent hair products, I prefer my hair routine itself low maintenance. And SKIMDO-ing requires some time, an hour or two. However, the promise of a head of curls with “weight, volume, shine and swish” was not a hard sale and off I went to get a SKIMDO treatment at Foster Hair in East London.
My guess is that SKIMDO will suit most curl types, perhaps especially the 3B – 4A type. Not to mention those with thick, full hair. Since my hair isn’t that thick (*sniff, sniff*), when I’ve since used SKIMDO at home, I prefer not to coil it all the way from the roots but I use it to define the ends. (Which, I know, are in need of a trim, ignore that!)
SKIMDO is set to become a staple product in my hair maintenance. I love the light texture, it does the job and smells great.

looks lovely! looks like you have to have the treatment done in the salon? how do you make the defined curls last longer?
MsAfropolitan says
Thanks! I had it done in the salon the first time and since then been experimenting with it. The curls will last longer if set with a blow dry but not necessary and depends on the hair texture I reckon.

I like the outcome. I have naturally curly hair and i can't seem to find a product that really defines my curls. And for some funny reason the back and front parts of my hair have tighter curls than the middle part:) So far, Shea Moiture curling cream works best but I could still use something stronger. I'm wondering how much this SKIMDO curl cream costs and does it have to be done by a professional?
SKIMDO says
Hi ladies! Just wanted to say that you don’t have to have your SKIMDO done in-salon. It’s a lovely treatment to have, however many buy the product and follow the instructional video on YouTube. It was created for long-lasting hold. Up to 7 days. To make defined curls last longer sleep on a silk pillowcase and braid at night. Feel free to ask me any questions kim@skim-do.com
