From my hands to yours: Ask the Crown Architect

Every jar, every drop, every strand of wisdom in Koko Ji began with my daughter and my hands. As the Crown Architect (aka the mama, maker, and mixer behind every jar), I’ve walked the journey from frustration to ritual, from breakage to beauty. I get a lot of questions about moisture, tangles, ingredients, and everything in between. So I’ve gathered the answers here, I give most often to the women and mothers who trust this line with their crown care. From my hands to yours, here’s what you need to know.

  • Crowned by Harmoni is specially formulated for dry, tangly, and textured hair types including curly, coily, kinky, and high-porosity strands. Whether your crown needs deep hydration, help with detangling, or support with length retention, our products are designed to restore softness, strength, moisture, and shine without weighing hair down.

    They’re gentle enough for children, powerful enough for adults, and perfect for protective styles, wash days, or everything in between.

  • Absolutely! Koko Ji’s Crowned by Harmoni Prelude Pudding was originally created for my daughter, so every formula is gentle, safe, and nourishing for children’s delicate strands and sensitive scalps. Whether it’s post-pool detangling, protective styling, or daily moisture, our products support healthy hair habits from an early age because every little queen deserves crown care made with love.

  • Every botanical product by Koko Ji is carefully and thoughtfully formulated to help rebuild and strengthen weakened hair bonds naturally. Designed with organic, plant-powered ingredients, our bond-building treatments work without harsh or synthetic chemicals, restoring hair health the way nature intended.

  • To maintain freshness and potency, keep your Crowned by Harmoni Prelude Pudding refrigerated. Store all of your other Koko Ji products in a cool, dry, place away from direct sunlight. Always use clean, dry hands with a scoop to avoid introducing water or bacteria into the jar. Because this formula is made with natural ingredients and no synthetic preservatives, we recommend using it within 1–3 months of opening.

  • Results vary depending on your hair's current condition and consistency of use. Many customers noticed improved softness, hydration, and manageability after the first few uses. With continued use over 3–6 weeks, you may see reduced breakage, easier detangling, and healthier-looking growth as your strands retain more moisture, strength, and elasticity.

    Hair care is a journey so give yourself and your hair some grace. Koko Ji is here to support every step.

    Ultra-lightweight and hydrating, this mist revives dry curls, softens frizz, and adds moisture without buildup. Perfect for in-between wash days, hydrating protective styles, leave-in conditioner, or a mid-day moisture boost for your coils.

  • Yes! All Koko Ji products are designed to layer seamlessly with your existing routine. Whether you're using leave-ins, gels, or stylers, our formulas work to enhance moisture, not compete with it. For best results, apply our products on clean, damp hair and seal with our botanical oil blend.

  • Usage depends on your hair’s needs, but most customers see the best results with weekly use of our hydration treatment, daily or as needed use of the refresher spray, and 2–3 times per week for the botanical oil blend. For dry or damaged hair, more frequent use can help restore moisture and support length retention.

    Listen to your hair, it’ll tell you exactly what it needs.
