Question: I am biracial which includes Asian, African American and Caucasion, however my hair is naturally very straight. It is also extremely dry and damaged from curling irons and hair dye. I am frustrated because my hair is breaking off every time I comb it. Is there a product that would work for my mixed hair type? Thanks for your help, Kioki, Manhattan, New York
NATURALLY WAVY HAIR- Classification 2A,2B or 2C
Answer: Straight hair is classified as type 1 however it is not uncommon for people with biracial backgrounds to have mixed textures of hair. Knowing your hair type is important due to the fact that some products may adversely effect different types of textures. For example, perms and relaxers are both chemical processes however both are not as equally effective on different types of hair. If your hair is damaged from heated appliances, chemicals, dyes, or bad hair care products, use Mineral Indulgence Olive & Rosemary Hot Oil Conditioning Treatment to revitalize and replenish the oils that your hair is now lacking. Trim any split ends and maintain your hair with natural products in order to properly condition it in a fast and effective manner. Try to use less heat on your hair whenever possible but if needed, use a small amount of Shea Pressing Oil to help protect your hair during heat application. After using for as little as 4 to 6 weeks, your hair should be properly conditioned. Naturally yours, Mineral Indulgence Hair Care Team
Hair Texture: Easily noticeable “S” curl pattern as it hangs loosely. Some shine due to light reflection properties.
2A hair is fine with wavy patterns.
2B hair has a medium texture which appears to be a bit heavier than 2A.
2C hair is thick with a frizzier/curly appearance. NATURALLY MEDIUM CURLY HAIR – Classification 3A, 3B or 3C Hair Texture: Tighter curl pattern with low shine, lots of body, coil, spring and medium to heavy shrinkage when wet.
Question: I enjoy using so many of your products because they work wonders for my hair. I am hooked on the Almond & Avocado Butter Shampoo along with the Shea & Mango Butter Conditioner. I have naturally curly hair but it is also frizzy and dry so I have recently added the Pure & Natural Detangler and the Olive Oil & Coconut Milk Leave in conditioner to my regimen. I appreciate the free samples that I always recieve with my order but noticed that sometimes the prices of my favorite products are higher or lower in cost. The price changes are small and are not a major difference, but I wondered why the prices change every now and then. I would also like to know what I can use to give my hair a more moisture so that it is easy to style in different ways. Thanks, Camille, Washington, DC
Answer: Mineral Indulgence hair and skin care products are created with herbs, plant extracts and other ingredients that must be cultivated and harvested as a crop. Changes in the economy from everything to fuel, rising food costs and production can have an adverse effect on businesses that operate according to demand for natural resources. This is also why some of our products are only available during certain times of the year.
For example, all of our products contain at least 5 plant oils with the majority of the products containing shea, coconut and olive oil. When suppliers must raise the prices for these precious natural oils due to economic factors, it effects the fluctuation of prices for our products. The goal of Mineral Indulgence is to provide safe and effective alternatives to chemical laden products that are marketed to unwary consumers all over the world. For this reason, we try to offset any rise or decline in prices by either absorbing the difference ourselves, slightly altering formulas or introducing new products that are just as benefical to our customers. Most recently we have changed to a more environmentally friendly shipping package as well as product labels that are half the size that they were originally. Nature provides everything that is needed to nourish and beautify hair and skin. We can all do our part by using alternatives that are both healthier and environmentally friendly. Thanks for the great question..Ps..Try Olive & Rosemary Hot Oil Treatment for conditioning your hair without the need for frequent use of other moisturizers. It contains several natural oils and herbs that you can actually see in the bottle, to help condition your hair and scalp. Naturally yours, Mineral Indulgence Hair Care Team
3A hair types have a looser curl pattern,
3B hair has a tighter curl pattern, thus appears to be thicker.
3C hair has a tightly curly look and may appear slightly kinky and frizzy or textured.
Question: Hello and thanks for developing natural products for those of us who do not want to use the toxic chemicals that are inside of many hair and skin products. I am highly sensitive to chemicals and have found it difficult to find real natural products in stores. I am also a mother and use these products for my daughters hair too. I am very concerned with the fact that many popular store bought products contain chemicals that have the potential to be cancerous or cause problems with reproduction according to a program that I saw on CNN. I love using the Nu Loc Hair Butter to create natural spirals in my hair and my daughters hair. I use it with the Kiwi Coconut Smoothie and our hair stays in the style for several weeks at a time without the need for added moisturizers. How can I find your products in my local store? Thanks again for the great products! Adrianne, Atlanta, Georgia NATURALLY KINKY COILY HAIR – Classification 4A, 4B, or 4C Hair Texture: Naturally drier and susceptible to breakage thus requiring moisture for maintenence.
Answer: Unfortunately there are many misconceptions in regard to the word "natural". Mineral Indulgence products however, are created from organic, plant, herbal and mineral ingredients that are derived from nature. Herbal remedies used since the beginning of time have been compiled to create products that can be used safely and effectively for natural hair and skin care. Products that are most often sold in stores, are not developed nor marketed to those who prefer to use real natural herbal ingredients. The word "natural" is often used to mean a variety of things however, it is not always indicative of the actual ingredients or process used to develop the product. Many so called "natural" products have been found to contain just as many toxic chemicals as others that are not marketed as such. This is a clever marketing scheme perpetuated by large companies in the health and beauty industry. Since herbal, and plant based ingredients have a shorter shelf life before deteriorating or spoiling, it is not practical to sell them in large bulk to stores where they can be stocked for long periods of time on shelves. Harsh chemicals are often times used as preservatives to allow products to be mass produced for sell which sometimes makes a product less "natural" to consumers. Mineral indulgence products are packaged and shipped on the same day in order to maintain freshness without the use of toxic preservatives. For this reason all of our products are sold via our main website as well as those of our consultants. Naturally yours, Mineral Indulgence Hair Care Team
4A hair has an “Z” pattern.
Most often thick and void of natural shine. 4B and 4C appears to be wiry and has a zig zag pattern.
Tightly coiled, coarse and kinky in texture.
Question: I only ordered one product (Shea & Mango Conditioner) initially but found out from reading your newsletter that natural products work best when used with other natural products for a complete hair treatment regimen. I stopped using my store bought brands, ordered some others from your website and have been using your products for a few weeks now. I almost immediately noticed a difference in my need for extra moisture and softness after using your products. Since I have been using the Kiwi Coconut Smoothie in the Light Kiwi Coconut Scent (LOVE IT!!), Napturally Sulfate Free Shampoo (LOVE IT!) and the Olive & Rosemary Hot Oil Conditioner, my hair is very soft and I do not have to apply extra oils to my hair during the week. This is great for me because my hair is normally very dry, coarse and brittle due to previous damage from a relaxer. I like wearing my hair in its natural state and can tell that it is much healther that way, but my job is not as supportive of me wearing a less tailored hair style to work. I would like to wear my hair in a straight style during the week and be able to go back to my natural state when I am not at work. I would like to know which product works best for my 4A/4B hair type and can give me some sheen as well. Thanks, Selana Jacksonville, Florida.
Answer: Unfortunately many people are unaware of the fact that many products sold in stores contain mineral oil or petroletum as a means for lubricating hair. However, both of these ingredients are derivatives of gasoline and are simply used as cheap alternatives to natural plant based oils by companies who make huge profits by selling inferior products to consumers. The difference that you have noticed in your hair is attributed to the fact that natural plant based oils are capable of actually conditioning hair whereas mineral oils are not. What you believe to be extra dry hair is often times a result of using products that claim to contain moisturizers but really contain ingredients that make hair more dry and brittle over time. This is also why reapplication is necessary in a very short period of time when using mineral oil based products. Mineral Indulgence uses plant oils and butters that work to condition hair from the inside out, so that you will not need to apply extra moisturizers as frequently. Our products work in synergy with each other which means that they are most effective when used with our other products as a complete hair care regimen. Plant based products are not designed to be used with chemical based ingredients. Shea Pressing Oil is an excellent product for straightening transitioning hair so that it is more manageable during styling. You can apply as much as needed depending on your hair texture and thickness. Use Loc Gloss for needed sheen when
