WILL I RECEIVE MY PARCEL IN MY MAILBOX?

In order for your parcel to be delivered to you in a letterbox, it must correspond to the AFNOR standards with the following dimensions: 34 cm deep, 26 cm high and 26 cm wide. If your letterbox does not meet the standards, and you are not present at the time of delivery, a notice will be left in the box. We also offer you the option of selecting a delivery in a relay point, according to your preference.

MY PACKAGE IS ADVISED AS "DELIVERED" WHEN I HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT, WHAT DO I DO?

If you have not received your parcel, please wait until the end of the day as the delivery status may have been updated in advance and the parcel may arrive later. If you still have not received your package within 24 hours, please contact us at [email protected] so that we can find a solution together.

MY PACKAGE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE SHIPPER, WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

If the address is incomplete or the package is damaged during transport, the package may be automatically returned to us. In this case, we will contact you as soon as we receive it in our warehouse, so that we can send you a new package as soon as possible.

Returns and refunds

You have 14 days after receipt of your order to return the products you do not wish to keep. These products must be unopened and in their original condition.

How do I send my return?

The return of your package will be done by Colissimo (when sent to/from France). You can choose to make a return request from your mailbox on the Colissimo website or to drop off your parcel at a Colissimo relay point.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK?

In the event of a return, we will refund you within 14 days, after receipt and verification of the returned products. An email will then be sent to you to inform you of this. The refund will be made by the same method of payment used at the time of purchase of the order on the site.

Silicone in haircare products have a bad reputation - but it is not always bad for your hair! It helps create a sleek, shiny look, but can sometimes weigh hair down.
