curly hair deep mask

For dry, porous curls that need serious moisture replenishment

Use pre-wash to protect or post-wash to seal and define. Curls come out softer, more defined, and less prone to breakage.

with Biodynamic Fennel

Fennel oil contains anethole and fenchone that help soften and relax coarse curl texture during masking time. Its gentle warming properties enhance absorption of the mask's conditioning agents deeper into the hair fiber.

with Organic St. John's Wort

St. John's wort contains hypericin and hyperforin, bioactives that repair oxidative damage accumulated in dry, porous curls. It helps restore the internal cohesion of the hair fiber, improving elasticity and reducing the brittleness that leads to breakage in textured hair.

with Upcycled Rice Extract

Recovered from rice processing, this extract delivers inositol, a cyclic sugar that penetrates deep into the cortex during extended masking time. It repairs broken hydrogen bonds and reinforces curl memory, so curls spring back with more definition and bounce after rinsing.

with Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has high lauric acid content and low molecular weight. It penetrates the cortex more effectively than most oils, reducing protein loss during washing and restoring strength to over-processed, moisture-starved curls.

Grown, not sourced.

We don't source ingredients. We grow them. At Ortofficina, our farm in the Bolognese hills, botanicals are cultivated using strict biodynamic methods and harvested at peak potency, the precise window when each plant delivers its highest concentration of active properties.

Agricosmetica® is Oway's proprietary approach to cosmetics, developed over 75 years of research at the intersection of Italian agricultural science and professional haircare. Every formula is built on biodynamic and certified organic ingredients, produced in a closed, circular system with zero tolerance for compromise.

About Oway

What is Agricosmetica®?

Agricosmetica® is how Oway makes cosmetics: actives from biodynamic and certified organic farming, selected with care and processed in a circular system that turns waste into resources, from the field to the bottle.

What is Ortofficina?

Ortofficina is Oway’s farm in the hills of Bologna, farmed with biodynamic methods since the early 2000s. Many of the botanical actives in Oway formulas are grown there and harvested when each plant is at its peak.

What does biodynamic mean?

Biodynamic farming treats the farm as one living system. It builds soil fertility with compost and crop rotation, uses no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and times sowing and harvest to natural cycles. Oway grows its biodynamic actives at Ortofficina and with a network of biodynamic growers.

Why glass and aluminium?

Glass keeps out light, air and moisture, so a formula keeps its purity, potency and freshness, and nothing leaches into it. Oway replaced plastic with recyclable glass and aluminium for its bottles, jars and tubes, to cut single-use plastic.

Where is Oway made?

In Italy. Oway was founded in Bologna in 1948 and still develops its formulas there, close to its farm, Ortofficina.
