EVE CURLS x BIRGIT SCHUURMAN

By Birgit Schuurman

As a little girl I had long straight hair that I brushed out beautifully every day. And then, somewhere in my mid-forties, I suddenly had an exploded mop. Welcome to my menopause.

It was as if they appeared overnight: my curls.

Where I once had long straight hair that I brushed out beautifully every day as a little girl, I suddenly had an exploded mop after brushing. As my hormones changed, my hair started changing with them.

My sister Katja had always had curls; in her hair you could clearly see our Surinamese roots. But with me, our Chinese great-grandmother came through more. So I'd never had curls in my life — and suddenly I did.

I had absolutely no idea what to do with this "new hair." I didn't actually want curls at all. Found it a hassle. So I mostly ignored it and put my hair in a bun.

"I had absolutely no idea what to do with this 'new hair.' I didn't actually want curls at all. Found it a hassle."

Until my stylist said: 'Birgit, you have curls whether you like it or not, so you need to start using products developed for curly hair.' And off I went — down the slippery path of curl products.

One product made my hair far too heavy, because I have a lot of hair but it's not that thick. Other products gave me hard curls. Some I really didn't like the smell of. And others felt very greasy.

I've followed so many different "routines" I went mad. And meanwhile I was on film sets, in the theatre, in front of the camera — while my hair was a surprise every wash day.

You know how it goes. The drawer full of half-used bottles. The slow, expensive realisation that every new product makes exactly the same promises. And almost never delivers on any of them.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH MY CURLS AGAIN: HOW A SMALL DUTCH FAMILY BRAND BECAME THE ONLY THING LEFT ON MY BATHROOM SHELF.

So when Eve Curls reached out to say they'd developed products that might just be the match for my hair, I was pretty pleased. But also a bit sceptical, to be honest.

Eve Curls was founded in 2020 by Ewa Delezuch-Ntambala and her two curly sons, Timothy and Lukas — right here in the Netherlands, by a family that knew the problem from the inside. Ewa isn't an influencer. She's a cosmetic chemist with more than twenty-five years of experience. She watched her sons try bottle after bottle of products that didn't understand their curls, year after year.

At some point she'd had enough. She simply built it herself. Sulfate-free, silicone-free, paraben-free, vegan — and designed as one system, so everything works together.

A KITCHEN, NOT A BOARDROOM

Eve Curls was founded in 2020 by Ewa Delezuch-Ntambala and her two curly sons, Timothy and Lukas — right here in the Netherlands, by a family that knew the problem from the inside.

Ewa isn't an influencer. She's a cosmetic chemist with more than twenty-five years of experience. She watched her sons try bottle after bottle of products that didn't understand their curls, year after year. At some point she'd had enough.

She simply built it herself. At ingredient level. Sulfate-free, silicone-free, paraben-free, vegan — and designed as one system, so everything works together instead of five random products in one bathroom cabinet.

For me — a Dutch woman with curly hair who discovered a Dutch family brand made exactly for my kind of hair — it almost felt like coming home. That might sound over the top. But wait until you open your first bottle.

You feel it straight away: thoughtful textures, a fresh scent, products that glide through wet curls instead of fighting them. I'd gotten very good at not believing curl ads. But looking at my own hair, in real life — that was different. That wasn't a campaign. That was a result I could simply see.

"After trying it once I was sold — these are such lovely products. My curls are bouncy, not heavy, and their products smell absolutely wonderful. This small, lovely Dutch family brand has now taken over my bathroom, and nothing else is coming in!"

MY FIRST WASH DAY

My first wash day was a quiet Sunday morning. Exactly the kind of morning I used to dread.

The conditioner glided through my hair without the usual battle. The leave-in spread effortlessly through every section. The defining cream gave my hair real structure — without the stiffness I'd come to accept as normal.

I scrunched. I waited. I looked in the mirror.

My curls are bouncy, not heavy. And the products smell absolutely wonderful — which, after all the rancid scent experiences of the past, I seriously hadn't thought possible.

Day two held. Day three still looked good with a quick water refresh. This was what my hair had needed.

WHAT YOU'RE USED TO

Unnecessary complexity

Sulfates that strip natural oils.

Silicones that fake moisture and build up.

By day 2 it's already crunchy, heavy, and frizzy.

Great on day one. Worse by week three.

Made by a marketing team, not a chemist.

Buy and hope. No real guarantee.
