Healthy Hair Styling with the Versatile Merakii Steam Curling Straightener with Argan Oil Infuser

May 5, 2018 · Leave a Comment

 

Argan Oil does wonders for hair health and appearance, making it softer, silkier, and shinier. Argan Oil is also frequently used as a styling agent, although this is a tricky balance: too much leaves hair greasy, too little doesn’t enhance shine. The Merakii Steam Hair Curling Straightener is designed a way to combine flat iron or curl styling infused with the benefits of Argan Oil by steaming Argan Oil into the hair for both a conditioning treatment and styling system in one.

ABOUT ARGAN OIL

Argan Oil works in three ways to improve hair:

  • CONDITIONING: by improving the health of growing hair. Argan Oil makes hair healthier with its’ rich fatty acid content and Vitamin E. Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant and encourages the production of strong, healthy hair.
  • RESTORING: by reversing much of the damage done by chemicals, styling products, and the use of flat irons and hot styling tools.
  • ENHANCING: by improving the appearance, shine, and softness of the existing hair.

The Merakii Steam Curling Straightener delivers the Argan Oil deep into the hair by having it penetrate the hair shaft via steam. This gives a dual styling and conditioning benefit. Steam styling is also far gentler on the hair than straight dry heat, and the style tends to lock-in and lasts longer.

Merakii Steam Curling Straightener FEATURE OVERVIEW

  • Heats up in under one minute
  • Auto shut off after 60 minutes
  • Designed to straighten, wave and to curl
  • Three temperature settings: 180C (350F), 200c, (400F) and 220c (430F) for even hard to straight or curl hair.
  • Swivel base and body with salon length cord
  • Steam Knob control for the steam pump
  • Use water or water and Argan Oil steam
  • Thick, durable ceramic plates
  • Sturdy but not too heavy to hold during styling
  • A unique 3D Floating surrounding heating plate of 3.5 inches. This styles and treats the sides of the hair for the smoothest look with no ridges or bumps.

HOW THE ARGAN & STEAM WORKS

A small chamber tank is used to hold either just water for steam or a combination of water and Argan Oil to steam infuse the Argan Oil evenly through your hair. This not only penetrates deeper into the hair shaft but results in a far evener distribution of Argan Oil that is just enough to be shiny and silky but not weigh hair down or make it appear greasy.

Removable water tank

The kit comes with a small glass bottle, see the included directions of use for the ratio of how much water to Argan Oil. Use the Argan Oil of your choice.

Once the bottle is filled and ready, remove the water tank compartment from the side of the flat iron. Underneath you will see a spot to uncap and fill with the Argan Oil and water mix in your bottle. Replace the cap and fit the water tank back onto the styling tool.

Comes with a guide, bottle, and clips

The ceramic plates function both traditionally and to diffuse a steam mist to style and condition your hair. There is just enough steam to enable styling and Argan penetration. Hair will not become excessively damp, but it is enough to style and not rob your hair of its’ own natural moisture during the heat style process and to keep hair from burning even at higher heats.

TIP: While these are anti-clogging steam plates, ONLY use the amount of oil instructed, this is not a case where “more is more”. The best results are with this exact ratio or just using water for the styling power of steam.

AS A CURLER

The unique swivel body and base along with its’ shape make it very easy to use this as a curler. A bit of practice with the included clips make for some great waves ranging from bombshell to beach waves to vintage 20’s wave set styles.

CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN

The shape of the Merakii Steam Curling Straightener is easy to hold in my hand. Made with a long cord with a swivel base, it is easy to use this on even very long hair. The handle remains cool to the touch.

The parts are well constructed and the 10ml chamber tank is sturdy. It holds 1/3 of an ounce. All knobs, buttons, and switches are in working order. There is an easy to read digital display. I am especially impressed with the durability and size of the ceramic plates.

RESULTS

The steam adds a nice styling component, it does not unduly wet the hair down, just enough to style. The infusion of Argan Oil is just the right amount to not get too sticky while creating optimal shine and softness. I love that with this steam and Argan Oil combination, I can style my hair without chemicals AND that it has the benefit of a leave-in conditioning treatment without the stiffness or dullness of most leave-in conditioner.

Easy to use Steam Control

OPINION

We love how the versatile Merakii Steam Curling Straightener turns a hair-damaging heat styling tool like a flat iron and turns it into a styling and conditioning treatment that is actually BENEFICIAL for the hair.

HELP DRY HAIR ORGANICALLY: Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask

October 29, 2017 · 7 Comments

We’ve long said goodbye to summer, but the sun, saltwater sea waves, and breezy wind stay with us. Not metaphorically, but literary by how they dry and damage the hair, especially delicate curly hair. If you have any texture or curl to your hair, summer can really do a number on you, causing unruly frizz and brittle, dryness to your locks, and a loss of curl manageability. Yearning for sleek, shiny smooth Veronica Lake hairstyles to go with your my autumn and fall wardrobe? Then it’s time for a hair intervention. We tried Royal Formula Deep Conditioning Argan Oil Hair Mask, an organic formula of luxe ingredients that smoothes the frizzies, make hair feel thicker, strong, soft, shiny and manageable again.

 

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask

WHAT IS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT ARGAN OIL?

Argan Oil is very popular for topical skin care, but how do you use it to revitalize hair? Argan Oils’ claim to fame is promoting hair strength and hair growth, which means application directly at the scalp level and massaging it in well. The problem is straight Argan Oil is difficult to wash off, and it can suffocate the scalp, trapping oils and dry skin, which causes more dry hair problems. Argan Oil also works on the hair body itself, by coating the hair shaft, which is a boost for curly hair that has been damaged and is extra porous. The result is it adds a glossy, natural shine and gives a smoother appearance to split ends and lifeless hair. While Argan Oil is highly effective, it works best when paired with other key ingredients, such as within a hair mask.

Argan Oil works best when combined with other ingredients in a hair mask like the Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask

ABOUT ROYAL FORMULA DEEP CONDITIONING ARGAN OIL HAIR MASK

Royal Formula Deep Conditioning Argan Oil Hair Mask is a luxurious, creamy-textured hair conditioning mask gives more manageable, silky-smooth, healthier looking hair. The smell is pleasant and clean. The combination of ingredients makes for an all-in-one conditioning formula that addresses whatever is making your hair lifeless, whether it is too much sun, pool chlorine, or over-use of hot styling tools, overprocessed hair coloring, too much processing, or a combination of any of the above.

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask comes in an 8-ounce container, but you only need a dollop even for very long, thick hair

WHAT ROYAL FORMULA ARGAN OIL HAIR MASK CAN DO FOR HAIR

  • Add Shine without being greasy
  • Make hair feel soft and touchable
  • Promote New Hair Follicle Growth
  • Improve Scalp health
  • Restore and Strengthens Hair
  • Improve Manageability

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask is a luxe, creamy formula that restores strength, adds shine, makes hair resilient and so soft

WHAT KIND OF HAIR CAN ROYAL FORMULA ARGAN OIL HAIR MASK HELP?

All hair types can benefit from the shiny imparting restoration of this hair mask, especially hair that is dry, damaged, Color-Treated, Bleached or chemically processed. If you use hot styling tools, Argan Oil can do wonders for the hair.  Not only will hair be more manageable and sleek after conditioning, but the Argan Oil helps the hair withstand the heat of a flat iron. Hot tools dry out the hair and rough up the hair shaft. Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask restores moisture into the hair shaft.

INGREDIENTS:

Made of high quality, organic ingredients, Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask contains:

  • Pure Argan Oil: coats the hair shaft to condition, nourish, soften and smooth the hair, imparting a healthy shine. This formulation uses the Highest Quality Cosmetic Grade Pure Argan Oil.
  • Almond Oil contains Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, vitamin E, and magnesium. It nourishes and strengthens damaged hair, making it silky and shiny again. It also reduces hair loss and makes hair more elastic. Almond Oil is also a carrier oil, meaning it helps other oils and ingredients penetrate and absorb. Almond Oil is excellent for brittle hair, damaged hair, dry and over processed hair.
  • Hydrolyzed Silk: works for stressed, depleted hair by reducing hair breakage by building protein bonds in the hair to make it strong and shiny again. It is “Hydrolyzed”, or broken down in water, from pure silk fibers into silk amino acids which are small enough to penetrate the hair follicle and scalp.
  • Pro-Vitamin B-5 or Pantothenic acid helps hair grow and improves the appearance, volume, and elasticity of hair.

What it does NOT contain: No sodium, parabens or sulfates.

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask is a thick luxe formulation that contains high-quality natural ingredients to restore hair inside and out

 

MY RESULTS:

My hair is about mid-back length, a bit past my bra strap. It is naturally dry and I frequently style with hairdryer and hot rollers, so it requires regular conditioning to stay in shape. Lately, my ends are looking dry, thinner and straggly. It also doesn’t have much movement, it just sort of sits there, somewhat lifeless. So it is time for a bigger trim if I can’t get my hair conditioned back into shape. Recently I have been doing blowouts, and it has taken a toll on my hair as it is more hot styling tool use than I usually tend to use.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask is creamy and thick with a very luxe feel. The scent is pleasant and clean. It rinses out easily. I could feel my hair felt stronger even in the shower during my final rinse.

TO USE: Emulsify the conditioner in your hand and apply it to the scalp and hair length. Comb it through with a wide tooth comb.

Royal Formula is a thick, creamy formula that is not greasy. A dollop covered my mid-back length hair

FIRST USE

After one five minute treatment, my hair has less frizz, feels stronger and thicker and was easier to style. My curls no longer felt “crunchy”. I am very pleased with how it “plumped up” my fragile hair ends look and the appearance of split ends is minimized, as my hair appears less porous on the whole.

Wind in my hair on an autumnal afternoon, but my curls stayed frizz free and so soft all day after one Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask treatment

It conditions hair without leaving a residue, which I like.

SECOND USE

I did a second treatment a few days later, where I left the hair mask conditioner in for about an hour and the second time my hair gained back movement and swing, even after blow drying and hot roller styling, it looked and felt so healthy and strong. It doesn’t take much product to coat and treat the hair.

I plan on using it about once a week and after coloring my hair or after heavy hot styling tool use to keep my hair looking healthy and feeling so soft and touchable. It can be used up to three times a week. While it does a very good job in five minutes, I like using it as a leave-in mask for about an hour for intensive conditioning.

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask restores vibrancy, bounce, and shine

CONCLUSION

Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask is a luxe formulation of vital hair replenishing ingredients, this hair mask is ideal for hair that needs to recover from over-processing, coloring, hot styling tools, or too much summer sun. While I am still doing a hair trim, it will be more of a dusting than cutting off a few inches. Yay, Royal Formula Argan Oil Hair Mask! I am very pleased to be able to keep as much hair length because the mask brought my hair back to life. I like the organic formula that contains a cosmetic grade Argan combined with Almond Oil, B5, and Silk Proteins to make my hair look so much healthier and feel so very soft.
