YOUR HAIR ISN'T THE PROBLEMThe way you were taught is.

The Healthy Hair Care Clinic is a 1:1 in-person appointment for professional women with afro and curly hair. Your hair is properly assessed, properly treated and properly styled, so you get styles that last 10 or more days, starting from the very first session.

  • Get a custom steam treatment matched to what your hair needs right now
  • Walk out with a finished style and the knowledge to maintain it yourself
  • Cut out daily restyling, because the right technique means it holds
  • Stop buying products and hoping one of them will fix it

You want your hair to work with you, not against you.

Monday to Thursday. Same style. No touch-ups.

You wake up, check your hair, and it’s still there. It’s defined and moisturised, doing exactly what it did on wash day. You don’t restyle before work, and you don’t hide it under a scarf because it’s “not cooperating.

A routine that fits your actual life.

A few clear steps, not ten. Wash hour happens when you plan it, not as an emergency because a style has collapsed. Hair care stops being the thing you dread and becomes the thing you understand.

Compliments you haven’t heard in years.

“Your hair looks incredible.” You want to say thank you and mean it, instead of laughing it off because you’re not sure you can do it again. After your appointment, you’ll know exactly how it happened and why it held.

Protective styles by choice, not because you gave up.

When you reach for braids or twists, it’s because you want them, not because you’ve run out of options. That shift from necessity to intention is what real hair confidence looks like.

But right now…

Something isn’t working, and you’re not sure what.

01

You’ve been natural for years and you still feel like you’re figuring it out

Not because you haven’t tried. You’ve watched the tutorials, saved the Reels, and bought the products people swore by. You still can’t get consistent results on your own hair.

02

Your style collapses by day two, and you’ve no idea which stage is to blame.

Was it the cleanse? The condition? The application? The product? You’ve changed everything at least once and the results are still all over the place. Nothing has a clear cause, so nothing has a clear fix.

03

Salons do a great job, and then you can’t replicate it at home.

The stylist creates something brilliant. Three weeks later you wash and restyle it yourself and it falls flat. You don’t know their technique, and nobody offered to teach you.

04

Your bathroom shelf is full of products, and your hair is still dry.

You panic-buy when something goes wrong. You read the reviews, try a new leave-in, and layer it with something else. Along the way you’ve spent a lot of money trying to solve something no product alone was ever going to fix.

05

Protective styles have become the default, not a choice.

You put your hair away because you don’t trust yourself to maintain it out. It’s not that you love how the protective style feels. It’s just easier than watching your hair fall flat on day three and not knowing why.

There’s a simpler way

What you actually need

Not another look & learn tutorial. Not another product. The right hands-on care, for your hair, in real time.

You don’t need to keep piecing together advice from people who don’t know your hair. You need someone who can look at your hair (its texture, density, porosity and condition), treat what needs treating, and show you, in practice, what it actually responds to

You don’t need:

  • Another YouTube deep-dive
  • A longer product list
  • A 10-step routine you can’t keep up
  • Another salon visit where you walk out styled but still don’t know why it worked

You need the Healthy Hair Care Clinic.

Klerissa McDonald, Founder of Curly By Nature

Afro and curly hair isn’t difficult. It’s been misunderstood

Klerissa built Curly By Nature on one observation. Afro and curly hair has been misunderstood, both by an industry that profits from selling more and by an advice culture that puts content before competence.

She’s worked with women who have been natural for a decade and still feel like strangers to their own hair. Many had spent hundreds on products that didn’t work. That wasn’t because the products were wrong. Nobody had ever properly explained what their hair needed, and why.

Her approach isn’t about what’s trending. It’s about fundamentals: the right cleanse, the right treatment and the right technique, personalised to the hair in front of her. She’s a qualified Cosmetic Scientist and has spent over 25 years working hands-on with every curl type. She has trained salon teams in afro and curly hair care, and she formulates the Curly By Nature Nurture Collection herself.

Every Healthy Hair Care Clinic session is delivered by Klerissa personally. It isn’t outsourced, and it isn’t templated.

  • SCS Member
  • 25+ years’ salon experience

Your session

How it works

A thoughtful, personal process from first conversation to final recommendations.

01
Wash Day
Hair & Scalp Consultation

We start with your hair, not a template.

Klerissa assesses your hair’s goals, history, texture, density, porosity and current condition. This is the foundation everything else is built on. What your hair needs is worked out here, before a single product is opened.

02
Cleanse Afro Curly Hair Products
Detox/ Cleanse & custom steam treatment

The treatment that optimises health & sets up a long-lasting style.

Your hair is cleansed, then given a custom treatment under steam, chosen for what your hair needs that day. The gentle, moist heat helps the treatment do its job, so your hair goes into styling soft, hydrated and easier to work with.

03

Pro detangling & hands-on styling

You watch, then you practise, with guidance.

Klerissa detangles your hair gently and properly, then styles it and teaches the technique in real time. Your style might be a curly cut, crochet braids, twists or something else, depending on your needs. Then you practise the key steps yourself, with Klerissa alongside you.

04
Healthy Hair Care Club side
Personalised plan & Follow Up

Common questions

The questions worth asking before you book.

Most salon visits end with a style, and that’s it. You leave looking great with no idea how it happened. The Healthy Hair Care Clinic works differently. Klerissa treats and styles your hair and explains every technique as she goes. Then you practise the key steps yourself, with her there to adjust what you’re doing. By the time you leave, you’ve already done it once under guidance.

Afro and Curly hair isn’t difficult. It’s been misunderstood. All textures, densities and curl patterns are welcome at the clinic. The consultation at the start of your appointment is there to understand what your hair needs before anything else happens.

The opposite. The point of learning the right technique is that your style holds for longer, so you stop spending time every morning restyling. Your routine gets simpler, not longer. Once you know what your hair responds to, you stop doing things that don’t work.

Please contact us as soon as possible to discuss changes.

You will receive confirmation and any relevant next steps by email.

Appointment terms and policies are listed on the relevant service page.

The consultation at the start of your session works out what your hair actually needs, so the treatment and style that follow are built specifically for you. Your style is designed to last 10 or more days. How long it lasts depends on your hair’s starting condition, the style you choose and your aftercare, and Klerissa shows you exactly how to look after it.

The 3-Appointment Bundle gives you three full Clinic appointments to use within 9 months. Experience Pro includes those same three appointments plus 12 months in the Healthy Hair Care Club™, for support, learning and community between visits.

Being natural for years means you’ve lived with your hair, not that anyone properly taught you how to care for it. Personalised, hands-on support built around your specific hair isn’t something most people have ever had. That’s not a gap in you. It’s a gap in what’s been available.

Yes. The hair underneath still needs proper care, and most of what goes wrong with it happens on wash day. The clinic works with the hair you have underneath, whatever you wear over it.

Yes. A new child client appointment includes the parent (£165), and existing child clients are £90.

If you can, come with little or no product in your hair. Detangling is included, but arriving with hair that’s loosely detangled means more of your appointment goes on the treatment, technique and style. Coming as you are is absolutely fine.

No, products are purchased separately, and that’s intentional. The session focuses on care, technique and understanding, not on selling you a product line. Klerissa gives you personalised recommendations based on what your hair responded to, so you buy with clarity.

48 hours’ notice is required for cancellations. Please factor this in when booking, especially if your schedule changes a lot.
