Maple Holistics

Does anyone have experience with products from Maple Holistics? Their shampoos and conditioners are sulfate, silicone, paraben, fragrance and cruelty-free.

I’m currently using their Silk18 conditioner, which I love. My hair has gotten stronger and hydrated (it’s a good balance of protein and moisture, I feel), and it smells sooo good. I have eczema and a sensitive scalp, but this really agrees with my skin. It’s my new HG product!

I haven’t tried their other products, what about you? Which have you tried and liked, or not liked so much? Let me know!

I was just hunting for reviews for the silk 18 conditioner, so bumping this thread!

[Beeboo123]

So far, I have tried the Silk18 conditioner, argan conditioner and winter blend conditioner.

Silk18 and the argan conditioner are identical, except that Silk18 contains vanilla extract for scent. I emailed the compny, and they confirmed this.

The winter blend is less thick and gloopy, and feels a little lighter. It is deliciously minty on the scalp, and smells great, but isn’t so minty that my body feels it when i’m washing it off.

I've ordered the silk 18 to try out, so hopefully it will work for me too :)

I tried the winter blend shampoo and conditioner, and actually really liked them. I don't shampoo much anymore, but it felt nice on my scalp, more cool than actual tingle.. I had to use a lot of the conditioner, and it wasn't like amazing definition, so it didn't make HG status, but it was actually pretty respectable, especially since it contains shea and my hair doesn't usually like that.

I want to try the Silk18 though, or the argan (if vanilla is the only difference I might dodge the Silk). My hair likes protein, and since I switched to herb-washing it doesn't get much. And I'm always looking for good "eh I'm too lazy to mix up herbs" conditioners to keep around the house.

My silk 18 arrived today, so will try it out tomorrow morning :) so excited to wash my hair!

I'm on my third bottle of their Argan shampoo. Doesn't overstrip my hair, and gets the job done (I'm a twice weekly washer).

Just washed and currently air drying. First impressions at this point of the silk 18 is its quite nice. Smell is lovely! (I'm a fan of vanilla though)
In the interest of science I'm not going to do any post wash oils ect. I did WCC with the silk 18 as first conditioner, left on for a good 5 minutes while I did other shower stuff, then second condition was my normal one. I want to see how they play together, and I know how my hair reacts normally with just the one conditioner with and without oil/salve after.
Atm the scent is playing nicely with the lavender and geranium 2nd conditioner, it's kind of softened it so overall the scent us more subtle and creamier. Kinda like cream soda actually!


Will update later with more thoughts when dry.

ETA:

now dry, lengths feel lovely and soft and sleek, but still had waves.
Will carry on experimenting, but so far so good!

The smell is divine and it works really well in my hair, the best of all the silicone free I've managed to try yet. It's also available locally to me which makes it a bit easier to get hold of! And I can recognise all the ingredients on the label which helps lolhttps://www.faithinnature.co.uk/products/lavender-geranium-conditioner-740ml/fincondlav740ml.aspx?productid=fincondlav740ml

This....looks really amazing. I wonder if I can get this in the US.... I love all these smells and it doesn't have shea butter or coconut oil in it... my hair might lose its mind from happiness.

^Found it. :) Not that I need *another* bottle of conditioner hanging around, but this looks like it could be really great... sorry to hijack the MH thread, but do you find the Lavender has good slip? My hair is really dry and tangles really easily.

I like it, my hairs not especially dry but for me it has more slip than most silicone conditioners I've tried. Even HH was a comparable slip on my hair. The others I've tried aren't quite as good, but still nice.

I've tried Silk18, the tea tree shampoo, and mint and tea tree conditioner. I love them all. At first I thought the Silk18 and Mint/Tea Tree conditioners were similar, but after repeated uses of both, the Silk18 definitely leaves a silkier/softer feeling. I still use both conditioners. My husband also really likes the shampoo.

I also tried one of their growth scalp treatments (can't remember the exact name), it helped moisturize my scalp but I didn't use it long enough to know if it helped with hair growth.

I'm planning on trying other products of theirs once I run out of the ones I have. :)
