Vernon Francois Is Now At Sephora

by Rachel Nussbaum

Praise hands for curly and coiled haircare making its way into the Sephora mainstream. Just dropped at the specialty retailer, Vernon Francois' line of haircare products will excite any curlies tired of the same old. With abundant options and some deeply exciting, innovative formulas, the line's a huge step forward for Sephora's curl-specific stock.

A little background on Francois: he's the sh*t. Hairstylist to celebs like Ruth Negga, Kerry Washington, and Solange (his Insta is inspiration central) more often than not Francois is behind any killer curls or natural style you see walking the red carpet. A hairstylist's hands are obviously irreplaceable — if only — but his line makes it as easy as possible to get those same level looks via an abundance of spray applicators. Essential to distributing product through hair quickly and evenly, if you've ever accidentally missed a spot, you understand. This is big.

The line is color-coded to help you decipher by hair type and need, a gift to anyone's Type A heart and Instagram. Burnt sienna Re~Vamp targets damaged and chemically treated hair with moisture-heavy formulas, while the pine green Curly line is ideal for swirly strands.
