Our Story
Flowers and plants provide us with the inspiration to carry out our mission. We strive to create the most perfect mix of these precious elements, revitalising your hair thanks to our Conlemany method.
Conlemany (from the Italian "with my hands") is our philosophy, a mental attitude supporting nature and eco-sustainability on our planet; a set of pure elements with which we are replacing traditional chemical cosmetics.
Our treatments are based on the use of four natural ingredients: various oils, butters, plants and clay. All these ingredients have been meticulously selected, weighed and mixed to obtain a bespoke chemicals-free treatment that best suits the needs of our customers.
Conlemany is a completely manual process, from the selection of the ingredients to their preparation and application. The treatment is 100% natural, vegan and completely biodegradable. It doesn't pollute water and it respects the environment in every way.
