SILKI story

The SILKI story, from our beginnings to participating in the 7th season of Štartaj Slovenija!

SILKI is a young Slovenian brand of hair care cosmetics. The entire development and production take place in Slovenia. All formulations are our own, and the products are manufactured and filled in the city of Ljubljana. The bottle is made in neighbouring Komenda, the label is printed in Slovenj Gradec, only the top cap is made in Italy 🙂 Scrunchies, created in collaboration with the talented young fashion designer Ulla, are hand-sewn in Škofja Loka. We truly strive to operate locally and support other domestic companies through collaboration. Made in Slovenia is still a sign of quality, of which we all can still be very proud.

SILKI products are divided into two lines - products for curly hair care and products for straight hair care. Each hair type has its own characteristics, which require special care.

01

The dark blue line, designed for curly hair, is fully compliant with the CGM (curly girl method), which recommends avoiding certain ingredients that are not suitable for curls. Our dark blue products do not contain silicones, sulfates, parabens, mineral oils, or dyes. They are vegan and suitable for all types of curly hair - from loose waves to tightly coiled spirals and everything in between. They contain carefully selected ingredients such as mango, sunflower, and linden, which ensure perfectly nourished and defined curls.

02

The light blue line is designed for straight hair - especially for those that need a bit of extra care. It's also suitable for those with dry, thin hair that tends to get greasy quickly. Nourishing and nurturing ingredients combined with collagen and botanical extracts strengthen and revive all types of straight hair without weighing it down.

The entire SILKI story began in 2020 when our founder, Flavijan Tekavec, grew tired of ordering expensive products for curly hair through big online stores. He decided to formulate the perfect hair care solution himself. His studies in social pedagogy, dual-subject teaching in biology/home economics, and food science and nutrition provided him with a wide range of knowledge for research. Soon, he mastered the basics of formulating cosmetic products and embarked on a journey to create his own curly hair cream. After numerous attempts, he finally succeeded, and in 2021, the first version of SILKI was born - under the brand CurlVibes.

The next step and the rebranding took place in 2022 with our participation in the 7th season of Štartaj Slovenija! For a young company, this project was an excellent springboard, as we had access to experts from all kinds of fields. This allowed us to place our products on the shelves of all 13 INTERspar stores in Slovenia and introduce SILKI to the wider public. In 2023, we expanded our product range with handmade hair scrunchies and added the first step in hair care - shampoo. Two shampoos were created, each suitable for a specific hair type.
