Heat Free Hair Styling with Almush Style Hair Curler Set

April 4, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Almush Style Hair Curler Set provides a comfortable, easy-to-use way to get beautiful curls without the damage of heat styling.

Almush Style Hair Curler Set comes in a variety of colors and patterns

Why Use a Heatless Hair Styling Solution

I loved the bouncy voluminous waves from a curling wand. It took 20 extra minutes to curl my hair each morning.

But daily hot tool use made my hair very dry and brittle. A curling wand depletes natural moisture in the hair and damages the keratin bonds.

I stopped using the curling wand, but curls and waves hide hair damage better than wearing straight hair.

I tried a few heatless curler options but most left a weird crimp in my hair or the curl didn’t hold. Many heatless curler options caused frizzy sections in my hair.

The Almush Style Hair Curler set can be used on wet or dry hair lightly misted with water. It works on long, curly, straight, fine, or thick hair.

The Set

The set comes in a variety of colors and designs. We tried the Pink and the 3d cube design.

Almush Style Cube Design Hair Curler Set

The Almush Style Cube Design Hair Curler Set comes with:

One clip
One mulberry silk curler base
two silk scrunchies
a drawstring storage bag

The Clip

The sturdy clip holds the curler base steady so you can use both hands to wrap your hair on the base.

The teeth do not slip yet do not pinch or pull on the hair.

The Scrunchies

Two mulberry silk scrunchies secure the hair ends in place on the curler base

Cube Pattern Scrunchie

Scrunchie Duo

The Drawstring Storage Bag

The Base

The total length of the curler base is 35 inches. It can accommodate even VERY long hair.
It is a one-inch diameter for the most versatile curl style.
The curler base is made of soft, eco-friendly foamed rubber so it is comfortable to sleep on and lightweight. It has a mulberry silk cover.

The base tips are well stitched with a pearl sealed finish

The base is flexible and folds neatly for storage

Flexible Base stores easily when not in use

Why Mulberry Silk is Best for Hair

It is lightweight and hypoallergenic.
Mulberry silk is 100% natural and contains no artificial fibers.
It is smooth without friction or abrasive surfaces, so it is the most gentle to the hair. It will not catch, rub, or damage the hair shaft.
It will not wick moisture out of the hair like cotton
A mulberry silk fiber is stronger than a piece of steel of the same length and diameter.
Mulberry silk provides the longest silk strands, which allows for higher-quality weaving and fewer”bumps” to catch a hair strand
It holds moisture very well. It can hold 1/3 of its weight in water without feeling damp. It also will not mildew or require airing out.

How to Use This Set

Start with towel-dried hair or lightly spritz dry hair damp
Secure the base to the head with the included clip
Wrap sections of hair around the base.
- I start with pieces about the same size hair piece as I take when using a curling wand.
- Larger pieces create a softer curl, smaller pieces a tighter curl.
- Tight wrapping creates a ringlet. Loose wrapping creates a beachy wave.
- TIP: One technique I found useful is to hold my hair section taut, lay it flat on the base towards the front, and twist it before wrapping it around the back of the curler. This creates more of a curling wand-type curls
Once you wrap all your hair on one side, secure the ends with the scrunchie.
Repeat on the other side
Once both sides are secured, the base is flexible and can bend out of the way while you sleep or wear it while getting ready.

Results

Lovely soft curls without burning my fingers or damaging my hair with a curling wand. And it doesn’t leave a weird “crimp” mark in my hair like other heatless curlers. I love saving the extra 20 minutes in the morning NOT having to curl my hair!

Strawberry Leopard Haircolor

January 14, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Strawberry Leopard is a vegan semi-permanent that leaves hair in better condition than it found it. It comes in an array of vivid hues for a bright pick me up without the damage typically associated with dying your hair dramatic shades.

Strawberry Leopard Vegan Conditioning Semi-Permanent Color

Meet Strawberry Leopard.

Love vibrant shades but hate the hair damage that often comes with it? Then check out Strawberry Leopard!

Strawberry Leopard in “Grapeful”

What It Is

A semi-permanent, Vegan, conditioning formula with bonding technology. Vivid color without hair damage.

Why It Is Special

It is super easy to use this cruelty-free formula and it leaves hair in better condition with several nourishing ingredients.

It leaves no colorful residue on the sink or shower tile.

There is no developer to mix, yet it deposits bright color, with the brightest results seen on pre-lightened hair.

To that end, Strawberry Leopard makes an excellent lightening kit with everything you need to get a good clean base for your bright colors to look their best.

We will cover the Strawberry Leopard Light Me Up Lightening Kit in a future post.

Strawberry Leopard Light Me Up Lightening Kit comes with everything you need to pre-lighten your hair for tipping, highlighting, or bleaching

How to Use It

Choose your shade or shades. Mix any shade with the Strawberry Leopard Pastel Mixer for more subtle results. Unlike traditional dyes, it smells like a fruity treat. It reminds me of strawberry candy!

Shake the bottle well. Then apply in a tint bowl and tint brush method to your clean, dry hair in quadrants. It is best applied in one-inch sections. No developer to mix, and no nasty smell! Leave on for 20 minutes.

You can use foil to do just a section of hair.

You can mix colors together to make a custom shade, or apply several colors.

Just rinse with cool water, no shampoo or conditioner afterward. The color lasts up to 8 weeks.

It is an easy to spread Gouache gel paint-like texture – not at all runny or drippy

Once the bottle is opened, it lasts for a year.

TIP: The Strawberry Leopard website says that a small amount of Strawberry Leopard Semi-Permanent Hair Color can be mixed with your daily conditioner to keep color vibrant between touchups.

Strawberry Leopard Shades

Strawberry Leopard comes in 17 shades and a Pastel Mixer. The Pastel Mixer lets you turn any shade into its’ pretty pastel counterpart.

Here are a few shades we got to try:

Loyal Blue

Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue is a true blue shade, a crisp and highly pigmented crystal clear hue.

Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue is a rich, creamy true blue hue.

The creamy gel consistency spreads easily without being runny.

Loyal Blue right out of the bottle

“Fingerpainting” with Loyal Blue shows the color. Leave on a full 20 minutes to see this shade on your hair, less for a more subtle effect. Highly pigmented, true blue shade

Grapeful

Strawberry Leopard Grapeful is an intensely purple shade. It looks almost black coming out of the bottle because it is so highly pigmented. It is similar to purple toning shampoo in an indigo purple intense color.

Strawberry Leopard Grapeful

Here is how the color looks when “fingerpainted” in indoor (top) and outdoor (bottom) light:

Grapeful in indoor lighting

Grapeful has a rich pigmented color. It is a creamy gel texture that spreads easily for applying as thin or thick as you desire

Bali

Strawberry Leopard Bali

Strawberry Leopard Bali is a pretty strawberry pink with a hint of bright coral. The result is a soft rose gold pink. Here is a close up:

Gray Hair: While it will leave some tint on gray hair, as always, gray is generally tricky. But this is a conditioning formula, so you have nothing to lose by experimenting! The darker shades leave more pigment on gray hair than the pastels.

Another thing that is special about Strawberry Leopard is how well it treats hair after it has been bleached. Bleached hair is often porous, dry, and damaged.

Take a look at some of the ingredients in this conditioning vegan formulation:

The Ingredients

Mango Seed Extract restores dry, damaged hair

Mango Seed Extract

Mango Seed provides a long-lasting emollient. Rich in fatty acids, it keeps hair hydrated and nourished.

Mango Seed Butter also contains Vitamins C, A, E, K, and B6.

Mango Seed Extract is high in copper, which supports healthy hair follicles.

Shea Butter

Shea Butter is protective and nourishing.

Panthenol

Panthenol (B5) is a humectant, emollient, and moisturizer.

Panthenol penetrates the hair shaft and locks in moisture. This makes hair look healthier by boosting shine and plumping the hair shaft. More volume gives even damaged or thinning hair a healthier appearance. ^[1]

For very porous hair, Panthenol behaves like a protein.

Rice Protein

Hydrolyzed Rice Protein

Hydrolyzed Rice protein is a secret hair weapon because it contains Inositol.

Inositol repairs hair breakage and damage. It penetrates deeply into the hair and helps repair the broken hair bonds.

Hydrolyzed Rice protein also contains Antioxidants, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, and amino acids.^[2]

Lavender

Lavender Flower

Lavender’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties keep the scalp healthy. It has soothing properties to calm any scalp imbalances such as inflammation or dry skin flaking.

The linalyl acetate in lavender enhances hair cell growth.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E promotes scalp health.

This formula has a hydrating Sunflower Oil base combined with soothing, skin rejuvenating natural ingredients

This formula has hydrating Sunflower Seed

Sunflower Seed Extract

Sunflower Seed Oil retains moisture in brittle hair, thereby reducing hair breakage.

Ideal for coarse, colored, bleached, curly, or damaged hair because it penetrates the hair shaft to lock and retain moisture.

It contains Omega 9, an essential acid needed to stop breakage and stimulate hair growth.

The main component of sunflower oil is linoleic acid. Its other components include oleic acid and palmitic acid, lecithin, carotenoids, tocopherols, and numerous vitamins.

Flaxseed

Linseed Seed Extract

Linseed, AKA flaxseed, is high in fatty acid Omega-3s.

It is considered a hair “superfood” as it creates lush hair and reduces breakage.

About Strawberry Leopard

The Strawberry Leopard animal is a very rare colorful leopard.

Strawberry Leopard the hair brand believes in the uniqueness of each person and provides a range of non-damaging, vegan colors so each person can express their unique selves.

Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo Conditioner Set

December 23, 2020 · 2 Comments

It is a good time for hair rehab. Curly hair is naturally dry and requires extra moisture. An excellent shampoo and conditioning duo to restore moisture into dry, damaged hair isÂ Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set. It contains only gentle, moisturizing ingredients including Passionfruit Extract, Sweet Almond Oil, Panenthol, and Black Seed Oil.

Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set

Why curly hair Needs Moisture

Curly hair requires extra moisture

Curly hair is naturally drier. It has a wider diameter which leads to more surface moisture loss. Â Our natural scalp oils have difficulty making their way down the spiral shape of a curl.

The shape of a curl also makes it extra brittle.

When curly hair is colored or styled straight with hot tools, it can easily damage already dry hair.

Many shampoos and even conditioners contain ingredients that dry out and damage curly hair. These include parabens, sulphates, silicones, and alcohols.

If you have curly hair, it is a great time to transition away from drying shampoos and conditioners in order to achieve lush, healthy, soft, and shiny curls.

A great haircare set for curly hair is Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set.

The Maximilian Set deeply hydrates hair

About The Maximilian Set

Maximilian comes in a presentation box

The Maximilian Passion Fruit Black Seed Oil Curly Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set contains a shampoo and conditioner, each is 16 ounces (500 ml). It contains only ingredients suitable for dry, curly hair.

Shampoo and conditioner boxed set

The set comes nicely boxed so it is suitable to give as a gift to your favorite curly girl (or guy)!

Deeply hydrating treatment for curly hair

What Makes Maximilian Special

Maximilian ingredients are considered safe for curly hair

Both the shampoo and conditioner use natural, safe, curly friendly ingredients to infuse and lock in moisture.

Also important is what these products do NOT contain:

No Sulfate, Paraben, PEG, coloring, or gluten
No Silicone
No animal testing, cruelty-free

While these features are vital for curly hair, they are also beneficial to any texture hair that is dry, colored or damaged. Sulfates can be drying to even oily hair types. But this set uses three gentle cleansers considered safe for curly hair.

This volumizing formula makes hair healthier, it smooths the hair while imparting softness and shine. The ingredients work together to add moisture and then lock in that moisture.

Letâ€™s take a closer look at these outstandingly curl-friendly ingredients.

Maximilian Supporting Ingredients

This shampoo and conditioner set uses exotic ingredients such as Passionfruit

Passion Fruit Extract

Passion fruit Extract contains hair restoring nutrients

Passion fruit seed oil, also known as Maracuja Oil, is a Brazilian beauty mainstay. It improves how the hair looks and feels. It also benefits the health of the scalp. Healthy scalps are vital to growing healthy hair.

Passion fruit extract contains 72% linoleic acid, one of the richest sources of this hair-friendly essential acid. [1]Â This gives hair a glossy, healthy shine.

It is rich in vitamin A, potassium, antioxidants, and minerals that benefit both hair and scalp. Vitamin C, riboflavin, carotene improves moisture retention. These antioxidants counteract the oxidative stress signs of hair aging [2]

Vitamin E improves dry hair and a dry scalp. It infuses moisture and retains it. This helps alleviate dandruff and restore dry, damaged hair.Â Vitamins B6 and B2 aid scalp circulation. This benefits follicles and helps build stronger hair.Â Passion fruit extract also has anti-inflammatory benefits.

The vitamins inÂ Passion fruit extract are amazing at locking in moisture without leaving the hair greasy or limp.

Sweet Almond Oil restores brittle hair

Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet Almond Oil is hair reparative and softening.Â SweetÂ Almond Oil is excellent for brittle hair, damaged hair, dry and over-processed hair.

Sweet almond oil contains proteins and vitamins A, B, D, and E,Â Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and magnesium. Amino acids and proteins strengthen the hair strand and smooth the appearance of the hair cuticle.Â It nourishes and strengthens damaged hair, making it silky and shiny again. It also reduces hair loss and makes hair more elastic.

Sweet Almond Oil protects delicate hair strands and combats brittleness. Brittleness results in breakage and is a huge barrier to meaningful hair growth.

Almond Oil is also a carrier oil, meaning it helps other oils and ingredients penetrate and absorb.

Sweet Almond Oil also gives hair a natural sheen.

Black Seed Oil

Black Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the flowerÂ Nigella sativa

Black Seed Oil is also known as Cumin Seed Oil. It comes from the seeds of the Nigella sativa, commonly calledÂ virgin in the green flower.

Rich in fatty amino acids, Black Seed Oil is moisturizing to both the hair and the scalp.

For scalp care, Black Seed Oil contains Thymoquinone. This is an excellent antibacterial,Â antifungal,Â anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. It hydrates the scalp to keep it in optimal condition for growing healthy hair.Â It combats scalp conditions such as dandruff, psoriasis, and other skin conditionsÂ [3]

Black Seed Oil is called a hair growth remedy.Â Studies ofÂ Telogen effluvium hair loss show topical Black Seed Oil reduces temporary hair loss. [4]

Black Cumin Oil works well with other ingredients to provide therapeutic effects.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

Panthenol is a humectant, emollient, and moisturizer. PanthenolÂ is theÂ alcohol analog of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and is a provitamin of B5.Â Â It has ultra-hydrating properties. But unlike oils, it won’t make hair oily or greasy.

Panthenol penetrates the hair shaft and locks in moisture. It also retains moisture along the hair surface which reflects light for a shiny appearance. It also makes hair look and feels soft and pliable without oils or waxes. The sealed-in moisture plumps the hair shaft which gives the hair a more voluminous appearance.Â It makes hair look healthier by boosting shine and plumping the hair shaft. More volume gives even damaged or thinning hair a healthier appearance.Â [5]

It is excellent for brittle hair and curly hair.Â It washes clean from the hair without residue.Â Â For very porous hair, it can behave like a protein.

Panthenol also moisturizes the skin on the scalp and is believed to promote cell regeneration.

Black Seed Oil comes from the lovelyÂ Nigella sativa flower

The Maximilian Experience

The Shampoo

The texture is silky and lightweight. It has an earthy and natural organic scent.

lightweight hydrating shampoo

rich texture shampoo has a light lather

There is a soothing, gentle latter. It rinses clean but the hair doesnâ€™t feel stripped. The directions say to rinse with cool water.

Impressively moisturizing on my curly, coarse, damaged hair. It leaves my hair so soft and shiny!

The Conditioner

The texture is creamy and lightweight. It is not waxy or sticky.

The conditioner is lightweight and absorbs quickly into the hair

I used about two-three tablespoons on my waist-length hair. It is an excellent texture for the curly girl method “squish and cond-ish”. My hair just drank it in.

Even while I was rinsing the conditioner from my hair, it felt so much stronger.

The Conditioner

RESULT

Without any other styling products and drying my hair naturally, my hair looked great! Â I love how thick and strong this set makes my hair feel! And it has shine and movement!

It is a very thick cream. Thicker and richer than a curd or custard consistency. Not at all greasy or slimy.

Warm and rub it between your hands first to apply it to wet hair. Â About a tablespoon was enough for my almost bra strap length hair. It spreads well and has a nice slick.

The masque is thick, creamy, and rich. A little goes a long way

Use in the shower and let it sink in for 5-7 minutes. Â It also works wonderfully steamed in with my facial steamer. Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle. It rinses away clean without a residue.

Hair feels smoother, thicker, and much stronger. It looks so healthy and shiny!
