Welcome to your new MERVANA ritual.

​

Inspired by the wisdom of the ocean and the purity of the earth, this is your time to reconnect, to nurture your scalp, awaken your senses, and honor your natural beauty through the healing rhythm of self-care. The Mermaid Hair Elixir was formulated to help strengthen your hair strands, balance your scalp to promote healthy growth and luscious hair.

​

​

Let’s First Understand the Hair Cycle

​

Healthy hair growth follows a natural rhythm, a continuous cycle of growth, rest, and renewal.

Each strand passes through three main phases:

Anagen (Growth Phase):

This is when the hair actively grows from the follicle, lasting several years.

Catagen (Transition Phase):

A brief resting period when growth slows and the follicle prepares for renewal.

Telogen (Shedding Phase):

Older hairs naturally release to make room for new growth, it’s normal to shed 50–100 strands per day.

​

Over time, stress, buildup, and lack of nourishment can disrupt this balance, leaving the scalp tight and the roots less active. Our Mermaid Hair Elixir's botanical oils work to moisturize, soothe, and create a balanced environment that supports the natural rhythm of your hair cycle, allowing new strands to emerge stronger, softer, and more vibrant.

​

For Scalp as Treatment:
Section your hair and apply the elixir directly onto a dry scalp. Gently massage for at least 5 minutes to help stimulate circulation and nourish the roots. Leave on for several hours or overnight before washing thoroughly. We recommend using a hair wrap for the overnight treatment. Use only 1–2 times per week to allow days for the scalp to breathe naturally. Regular scalp massage helps support circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the follicles.

 

For Hair Strands:
Warm a few drops between your palms and smooth through the mid-lengths and ends of damp or dry hair. This helps soften strands, add shine, and protect against dryness. For thick, coarse, or curly hair, apply a bit more as needed to lock in moisture and enhance your natural texture.

Scalp Massage With Mermaid Hair Elixir (5–10 minutes)  - video example below

​

Prep: Start with dry, detangled hair. Wash and dry hands. Part hair into 4–6 sections.

Apply to Scalp: Working section by section, apply directly onto the dry scalp, a few drops per parting.

Wake Up the Skin: With pads of fingers (not nails), make small circles across the entire scalp to distribute oil evenly.

Crown Circles: Place fingertips near the hairline and move in slow circular motions toward the crown. Repeat from temples and behind the ears toward the crown.

Taps & Gentle Pulls: Gently tap your fingertips all around the scalp to stimulate circulation and awaken the skin. Then, softly tug small sections of hair from the roots, just enough to feel a light tension. This helps release scalp tightness, encourage oxygen flow, and “wake up” the follicles, leaving your scalp refreshed and energized.

Pressure Points: Hold gentle pressure for 3–5 seconds at: temples, behind ears, top of crown, and base of skull. Breathe slowly.

Inversion Massage: Gently invert your head and repeat your scalp massage movements for 1–2 minutes. This position allows blood to flow more easily toward the scalp, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to the roots. Take slow, deep breaths as you massage, this moment of stillness supports both circulation and relaxation.

Apply to Strands: Warm a few drops between your palms and smooth them through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. This helps seal in moisture, reduce frizz, and protect against dryness.

You may leave the oil on for several hours or overnight. Recommended: use a hair wrap for overnight treatments.

Rinse & Cleanse: Shampoo thoroughly with a clarifying shampoo until roots feel clean, follow with a gentle conditioner. Use clean products as harsh shampoos/conditioners may delay visible benefits.​ 

Frequency: Use 1–2 times per week only to allow the scalp to breathe. Do not exceed two applications weekly.​

What to Expect: Mild initial shedding can occur as the scalp adjusts to a healthy hair cycle. It’s normal to shed 50–100 strands per day as part of natural renewal. Many users notice visible improvement in about 1-3 months of consistent use.
