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: Will applying EBAN Shield cause my swim cap to slide off during my workout?
A: Not when you follow our protocol, family! EBAN Shield is formulated to absorb deeply into damp strands, not sit grease-heavy on the surface. For an absolute lock, coat your hair, put on our EBAN Lycra Cap to protect your hairline, and place your outer swim cap over it. It won’t budge.
Q: Can I use this if I have a protective style like braids, twists, or locs?
A: Absolutely. Natural hair is highly porous regardless of how it’s styled. Coating your protective styles with EBAN Shield blocks chlorinated water from settling into the deep core of your braided hair, keeping it safe and making your post-swim rinse seamless.
Q: Do I really need to use a clarifying shampoo after swimming if I used the Shield?
A: Yes, sis. EBAN Shield is your defensive line into the pool. Once you step out, water alone won’t remove residual pool chemicals. You must wash with EBAN Cleanse Clarifying Shampoo for Swimmers to neutralize the chlorine completely and prevent your hair from becoming brittle.
