Your curly hair home! All natural products made by our hands for your hair. And that's exactly what we did.

"Moxie" means bucking convention and doing things your own way, with spunk, spirit and style. For one thing, Rachel Blistein, the creator of the Moxie line, is not a stylist or corporate mogul – just a regular person with 'challenging' hair and a knack for creating truly awesome hair products. After years of trying expensive treatments and stylers that never quite seemed to deliver, or that stopped working after a few applications, Rachel decided to try her hand at formulating her own, personal use hair care products. As a life long nature lover, she also wanted to make her products as chemical-free and environmentally-friendly as possible. After many, many, many failed attempts she finally honed a few products that miraculously worked much better on her thick, curly hair than any others she had tried. As she shared her experience with friends and family, she learned that the quest for effective hair care was universal! One, by one, she created products to address the very specific challenges faced by real men and women. This personal approach carries through in all aspects of the brand, from our diagnostic approach to our friendly customer service.

New on the blog! 🌟 Our top tips for preventing breakage are live.

Curls are beautiful, and they can also be a little delicate. Their shape makes it harder for natural oils to travel down the strand, so dryness, friction, and tension can lead to breakage. 🌀

We're sharing 7 simple habits that help curls stay strong, from wash day to bedtime. 💧

Small changes add up over time, and some of these might surprise you. ✨

Not all hair needs the same moisture 💧

The Moisture Detox™ System is an intensive, professional-only treatment available exclusively through Original Moxie Certified Stylists. It's fully customizable to your hair's specific needs, correcting damage, removing buildup, and balancing moisture in just one application.

Step 1: Choose your match. The first step of the Moisture Detox™ must be matched to your porosity and texture. Note: Understanding porosity and hair receptivity takes training and skill. 🌿

For our model, we chose Hydroflow™ - for medium to low porosity hair. Green Illite Clay gently opens the cuticle, making hair more receptive to moisture absorption.

Step 2: Hydrofuse™ ✨
The universal second step for every hair type. This multi-functional mask completes the moisture-balancing process, removing buildup and significantly boosting moisture levels. Artichoke Leaf Extract smooths and seals the cuticle for shine and protection, while Beet Sugar Extract boosts internal hydration.

One treatment, customized to you.

Embracing your texture looks different on everyone!💫

Curly hair is an incredible fiber - capable of changing its shape, volume, texture, and even color within a short period of time. This client’s transformation is a beautiful demonstration of the difference that moisture and styling can make. Her curls are stunning both ways. In the end, it’s about versatility and health.

Introducing our Creative Team’s latest obsession - foam/gel styling for especially resistant curls. 🌿

Pop Life™ is a hydrating foam that reduces surface tension, helping coarse, low-porosity textures to absorb water for improved curl clumping.

Just Gel™ is our moisturizing gel made with handmade Organic Flax Seed Extract. It plumps as it defines, giving you touchable hold and a natural, flake-free finish.

While this water-based, cream-free duo doesn’t work on every hair type, it is our go-to for ‘waterproof’ hair types that need encouragement to absorb hydration. The finished result - soft, touchable hold and definition that lasts! ✨

Let's talk breakage 🌿

A halo of frizz right after styling. Random lengths in the same curl family. Thinning near the ends. These are the signs to watch for.

Common culprits:

➰ Elastic bands - give your strands a break between ponies, satin scrunchies help
➰ Necklaces - a frequent cause of ‘fairy’ or single-strand knots at the nape
➰ Environmental stress - wind or running exposure calls for protein and lipid treatments like Hydrofuse™ and Emollience™
➰ Sleeping without a bonnet - friction and pressure overnight add up, satin is your friend

Some shedding and breakage is normal 💫 More than that? A stylist or trichologist can help.

Definition + Moisture = Happy Kiddo 💚

Busy school days demand a streamlined and long-lasting wash day routine. Layah’s styling combo for defined curls that go the distance is Shape Shifter™ and Hold Up™ Defining Serum, both of which build curl clumping and create a strong set for multi-day wear.

Eliminate the guesswork and find the right products for your hair type with our Hair Type Quiz, based on four years of research and over 1,000 heads of hair.
