The EBAN Story
The EBAN Collection was created as an act of love by a mom for her daughter. Daily exercise and exposure to chlorine led to hair and skin issues that discouraged her daughter from participating in sports. EBAN natural products are explicitly formulated to protect the health and dreams of Black girls and women by protecting their hair and skin from damage resulting from exposure to sun, salt, sweat and chlorine.
The Ghanaian Adinkra symbol Eban represents the protection and love provided by a fence around the home. EBAN products create a fence of protection around natural hair and skin, keeping it healthy and strong.
Our Promise: EBAN is a premium collection born in the lab and perfected in the pool. We don’t just make products; we engineer solutions for the Active Naturalista. Every bottle is made with love and earth-derived minerals to support your loud, unapologetic life.
Soak, Coat, Cover™ Method

The Ritual
The EBAN Soak • Coat • Cover method:
1. SOAK: Fully saturate your natural hair with clean shower water before entering the water. A wet sponge can’t absorb the chemical water.
2. COAT: Section your hair and generously apply your defensive barrier EBAN Shield Pre-Swim Treatment from roots to ends to lock the good water in and keep pool elements out.
3. COVER: Slip on an EBAN Lycra Cap under your protective outer silicone cap to shield your hairline from intense gear friction
• After your swim, purify with EBAN Cleanse Clarifying Shampoo to remove surface minerals.
• And then restore elasticity with EBAN Infuse Deep Conditioner.
The Science
Why it Works: Hair is porous. By saturating your curls with Nettle-infused lipids before you dive, you leave no room for chlorine to enter. Nettle Leaf Oil provides the mineral “bricks and mortar” (Silica/Sulfur) that anchor your hair’s protein, preventing the brittleness caused by chemical exposure.
“Engineered for pool swimmers and weekend beach-goers with natural hair.“

FAQs
Q: What is the difference between the EBAN Shield Pre-Swim Cream and this Spray?
A: Both contain our premium chlorine-neutralizing Botanical Arsenal. The cream offers an extra-strength lipid barrier ideal for dense 4C textures and high-porosity hair under extreme exposure. The spray offers a weightless, rapid-mist application perfect for finer textures, protective styles, or swimmers who want quick coverage without a heavy texture.
Q: Can I use this spray if I am currently wearing braids, twists, or faux locs?
A: Absolutely, family. Natural hair is highly porous regardless of how it’s styled. Spraying EBAN Shield directly over your protective styles allows the formula to penetrate between your extensions and mist your natural hair, blocking chlorine from settling inside the core of your style.
Q: Will this pre-swim spray leave a heavy buildup on my scalp after my swim?
A: Never, sis. Because we are 100% silicone-free, our plant-based oils dissolve completely when paired with your post-swim wash. It leaves zero heavy coating behind, ensuring your scalp microbiome remains perfectly healthy and clear.
