Maui Moisture Hair Care Thumbs Up.

Doing a lot of hair color in the salon I like to give a good cleaning to the hair. That’s why I chose to try a product called Maui Hair Care Line.  On my model she has thick and fine hair. She also likes a subtle balayage hair coloring technique.  When it is time to complete the process I have teased the hair and placed a lot of foils also in her hair. So by that time I am dealing with a lot of tangles and chemically processed hair.

I went ahead and took out all of my foils and combed out all of my teasing to complete the hair color and now the shampoo. The Maui line has a wonderful fragrance to it. And since I am dealing with chemically treated hair I decided to use the weightless coconut milk which infuses this light and creamy shampoo along with sheer guava oil and mango butter. Which I recommend for colored treated hair and bleached hair. Apply shampoo generously to wet hair, massage into a lather through to ends, then rinse the hair thoroughly. After shampooing, follow with conditioner. Warning: Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs rinse immediately. For best results use in conjunction with other Maui Moisture products. I was concerned about the amounts of alcohol in the ingredients and emailed the company. This was there response. “Some alcohols can cause dry, frizzy hair while other types of alcohol can act to help condition hair. One of the types of alcohol we choose to use in our Maui Moisture formulas are Cetyl alcohol and Cetearyl alcohol. These are known as fatty alcohols, they help give a smooth, soft feeling to the hair shaft by helping the cuticle to lie flat on the surface of the hair. They also function as thickeners, nonionic surfactants, and emulsion stabilizers. Some of our products also contain isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol as well”.

I finished the process and the hair came out beautiful, the fragrance is wonderful and I really did not need a conditioner. Give it a try everyone. Its also gluten free.

Hair can become dry looking and loose pretty much all shine. Especially when the hair is over colored. Maintaining hair color and also leaving it with shine can be a nightmare. It comes to me working in a salon and the expectations of all clients can be so unreal at times. Photo-shopped photographs are a day in and day out experience and asking for unreal expectations during a one time appointment is shocking. But there will be stylists who cannot say no and will end up in my salon chair doing corrective hair coloring. Here are some tips if you have colored treated hair. Colored treated can and will lose its luster and shine if the hair is overly colored. I recommend to you less peroxide hair coloring THAN WHAT IT NEEDED.

Condition your hair after every shine shampoo. Shampoos weaken the hair’s outer cuticle layer while conditioners help to restore their natural smooth configuration.

Hair needs to be healthy to show its natural luster. The regular use of hair conditioners, shine shampoos and treatments goes a long way toward keeping the luster in your hair

The hair ends are especially prone to a loss of luster. If using a shine shampoo doesn’t help, cutting the hair ends regularly is a very efficient remedy for dull looking ends.

Also avoid stress to your hair structure as much as possible. Hair accessories such as scrunchies and bobby pins can harm the hair structure and dull your hair. Improper brushing or brushing too frequently also reduces the hair’s natural luster and steals the shine shampoo provides.

Use extra-gloss hairspray after styling. Modern styling products contains light-reflecting ingredients and can provide instant luster in conjunction with shiny hair shampoo.
