When you are ready to activate and charge your crystal, be clear minded about setting your intentions. This is critical to programming your crystal and establishing your bond and connection. Take your time and think through what it is you truly want and what is most important to you. Be true to yourself but keep an open mind and an open heart, ready to receive all the possibilities and opportunities that come your way. 

"I have color treated hair and a sensitive scalp, that is subject to psoriasis, if too much manipulation or harsh ingredients are involved. When it comes to wash day, I need products that gently cleanse, exfoliate my scalp, and replenish as much hydration as possible before I set my style, without doing more harm than good. I discovered Meraki—a Black-owned, 100% natural, non-toxic, vegan hair line

"There’s no better time like the present to realign your mind, body, and soul to find balance. Crystals are a great way to change your energy (or at least remind yourself to do so) and either way, they sure look good. As big supporters of good vibes only and, of course, hair, we had to know more about a shampoo infused with crystals. We spoke to Amber Makupson, founder of Meraki, on the inspiration behind their rose quartz shampoo and how it works."

Each hair grows from, and through , an individual follicle which surfaces on your scalp. Is is essential that the follicle and the scalp, at point of exit, are clean, clear, and healthy. Follicles that are full of sebum or blocked by dead skin, dandruff or infection will have an impact on the quality of hair growth. In fact , permanently blocked or obstructed follicles may eventually cease to produce hair at all.

Our founder Amber Makupson catches up with Jessica Ourisman and necessite to discuss the benefits of Crystal and gemstone infused hair care! Check out a few highlights from the interview below!!

Bambusa Bamboo, or Giant Thorny Bamboo, is known to be one of the fastest growing plants in the world with a tensile strength to match that of steel. The bamboo grows in humid tropical climates where the plants can reach a height of 20-30m. Its culms are used for house construction, scaffolding, furniture, cooking utensils and fencing. Shoots and seeds are edible and leaves are used in medicine. As such bamboo has rapidly been accepted as a natural material pioneering the concept of sustainability throughout many industries including that of personal care.

Bamboo also serves as a natural source of silica. Although the function of silica in bamboo is unclear, researchers postulate that silica provides structural support for the plant. Deposits occur in the form of hydrated amorphous silica that forms through the polymerisation of monosilicic acid, which is absorbed by the bamboo roots. The biosilicate isolated from bamboo has typically been used in supplements targeted for the treatment of arthritis. Today, we are looking to transfer this sustainable source of bio-silicate into the hair care market utilizing its natural properties to seal, protect and condition each hair strand.
