Style icon, former model, accessories and jewelry designer, mother and wife: Michelle Elie.

I was born in Port au Prince, Haiti and moved to New York with my family when I was six-year-old. New York was my hometown until I moved to Köln, Germany. I completed all my studies in New York, became a model and moved abroad for a period of time. Prior to living in Germany, I lived in Paris and travelled all over Europe for a good five years. Afterwards, I moved back to the States, migrating to the warmer climate of Miami Beach where I met my husband of 10 years, Mike Meiré.

Taking care of business in Germany pt. 11 – Dr Luderitz Natural Products for Curly Hair

Dr Luderitz

Dr. Lüderitz Natural Cosmetics was founded by Dr. rer. nat. Liset Lüderitz. She was born in Cuba, where she completed a degree in chemical engineering. While working in the Research Center for Nutrition and Food Sciences in Havana she was also trained as an aroma specialist and developed aromas for the national food industry.

Dr. Luderitz

In the year 2000 she moved to Berlin (Germany) and besides falling in love with the city she soon noticed the lack of natural products for curly hair. As a scientist it quickly occurred to her that she could develop the products herself. While already using her own formulations she continued her scientific career, finishing a M.Sc. in Polymer Science and obtaining a PhD in Physical Chemistry at the TU Berlin.

The first product line – Havana Curls – addresses the essential needs of curly hair by combining scientific field knowledge with tradition.

The Havana Curls Leave-in Conditioner is a natural emulsion – a mixture of natural oils, plant extracts, vitamin, protein and water. With the selected natural ingredients and the balanced pH a well conditioned, shined and healthy curly hair is guaranteed. The two ingredients Shea Butter and Mango Butter with their high percentage (about 10%) of unsaponifiable components lead to a more moisturized and revitalized hair without a greasy feeling. Furthermore the synergetic effects of the ingredients result in an amazing softness of the hair.

For which hair types
The Havana Curls Leave-in Conditioner works for:
coily/kinky hair (type 4),
curly hair (type 3) and
wavy hair (type 2).

How to use
For hair type 4 the product can be applied to dry hair or to wet hair to make twists or cornrows.
For hair types 2 and 3 apply a small amount of the product to wet hair.

Ingredients
Aqua, Coconut Oil, Glycerin, Shea Butter, Emulsan, Mango Butter, Aloe Vera, Avocado Oil, Olive Oil, Citric Acid, Allantoin, Bay Oil, Cetyl alcohol, D-Panthenol, Jojoba Oil, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Rokonsal, Silk Protein, Vitamin E
